Take a moment to think about what powers your life. Almost everything that you touch on a daily basis comes from petroleum-based products, from inexpensive, durable clothing to sterile medical devices to the fertilizer that produces abundant food that keeps our world fed.
As a leading global producer of oil, gas, coal, and nuclear energy, as well as a world leader in environmental quality, America is uniquely positioned to promote human flourishing and fight poverty both in our communities and around the world.
Our mission is to liberate American energy to advance the human condition. We champion policies that protect consumers, ensure grid reliability, and uphold free-market energy solutions. As a global leader in energy production and environmental quality, the United States is uniquely positioned to promote human flourishing and fight poverty at home and abroad.
American Energy Works is a 501(c)(4) advocacy organization committed to securing America’s energy future by championing policies that keep energy affordable, reliable, and free from burdensome government overreach. We fight for consumers, businesses, and industries that depend on a strong, resilient energy sector to power their lives and livelihoods.
Through strategic advocacy, grassroots mobilization, and direct engagement with policymakers, we work to ensure that American energy remains a driver of economic prosperity, national security, and human advancement. We oppose efforts that undermine free-market energy solutions, expose consumers to unnecessary costs, or threaten the reliability of the grid. By standing up against harmful regulations, misguided litigation, and politically motivated financial practices, we safeguard America’s position as the world’s energy leader.
