Alex Epstein’s “Energy Freedom Plan” proposes 25 policy changes to boost American energy production, focusing on responsible development of domestic resources. The plan aims to increase oil and gas production, ensure cheap and reliable electricity, and improve environmental quality by reforming regulations, ending subsidies for unreliable energy sources, and promoting nuclear power. It advocates for cost-benefit analyses in environmental regulations, withdrawing from unfavorable international agreements, and prioritizing resilience and innovation in addressing climate change. The plan ultimately seeks to achieve energy abundance while protecting environmental and public health.
