The Green Agenda’s Collapse Is a Wake-Up Call for American Sovereignty

For decades, a dominant narrative has shaped energy policy in the West: that reducing carbon emissions requires a complete transformation of our economy, one that prioritizes wind and solar power over traditional energy sources. This vision, promoted as essential for planetary survival, has led to soaring energy costs, weakened industrial output, and growing dependence on foreign suppliers. Yet the cracks in this ideology are now impossible to ignore. The green agenda is not just failing—it is unraveling under its own contradictions.

Take the reality of artificial intelligence. As AI becomes central to modern life, it demands vast, consistent energy supplies. Bill Gates, once a vocal proponent of renewable energy, has recently acknowledged that wind and solar alone cannot meet the needs of a high-tech society. These sources are intermittent and unreliable, unable to provide the steady power that drives data centers, factories, and homes. This truth is not new, but it is now undeniable. If we cannot power AI with renewables, then what are we really protecting—climate, or ideology?

The global picture only reinforces this shift. While Western nations reduce domestic oil and gas production, China has quietly built more coal-fired power plants than any nation in history. At the same time, it dominates the global supply chain for solar panels and batteries, flooding markets with cheap, subsidized goods. This is not a green revolution—it is a strategic economic move. China is securing energy dominance while the West hands over its industrial base.

Meanwhile, nations in the developing world are not buying into the narrative. They argue that it is unfair to restrict their growth based on emissions from decades past. After all, they did not industrialize at the same pace as the West. Now, they demand financial compensation for past pollution, even as they plan to expand fossil fuel use. This is not justice—it is leverage. And it is being used to pressure nations that once led the way in innovation and self-reliance.

Even the credibility of climate leaders is fading. Public figures who once championed carbon reduction now travel by private jet, live in energy-intensive homes, and vacation on the very beaches they claim are at risk. These actions undermine their message. When the elite live in luxury while ordinary families face electricity bills and blackouts, trust erodes. Sustainability cannot be built on hypocrisy.

This is not about abandoning responsibility. It is about returning to practical, proven solutions. Nuclear power, natural gas, coal—these are not relics. They are reliable. They power our cities, fuel our industries, and keep our lights on. They also keep our nation independent, less vulnerable to foreign manipulation.

America’s strength has always come from self-sufficiency and innovation. We built the modern world on oil, gas, and steel. We should not abandon those foundations simply because a globalist agenda says we must. Energy policy should serve the people, not foreign interests or abstract ideals.

The collapse of the green narrative is not a loss—it is a correction. It is a sign that truth and common sense are returning. We can care for our environment without sacrificing our economy or sovereignty. We can innovate without surrendering our energy independence.

Now is the time to rebuild with American values: responsibility, self-reliance, and faith in our own people. Let us power our future with the resources we control, not the ones we import. Let us lead again—not by following foreign trends, but by setting our own course.
