Washington, D.C. — As the United States and Iran negotiate a deal easing tensions around the Strait of Hormuz, American families are seeing why American Energy Dominance matters. By some reports, even though the crisis threatened a larger share of global energy supplies than the 1970s oil shocks, prices did not explode the way many predicted. AAA reports the national average for gasoline continues to fall, dropping from $4.52 one month ago to $4.06 today. Additionally, the price of oil opened today at around $80 per barrel, a far cry from the $200 price some warned about less than a month ago.
"The numbers don't lie — they deliver a decisive verdict," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. "Once again, the anti-American energy crowd has been proven spectacularly wrong. Despite a major international crisis that threatened far more of the world's energy supply than the oil shocks of the 1970s, American families are not facing skyrocketing prices or empty pumps. This is the power of American Energy Dominance. President Trump's bold commitment to unleashing our domestic energy resources has given America real leverage on the world stage while delivering genuine relief to hardworking families at home. It proves that when America produces more energy at home, we are stronger, more secure, and more prosperous. Energy dominance isn't just policy; it's peace through strength, economic security, and national resilience all rolled into one."
