Introduction Over the past two decades, the United States transformed its energy landscape by modernizing and rapidly expanding natural gas production. Key technological breakthroughs such as horizontal drilling, hydraulic fracturing and 3-D seismic imaging unlocked vast shale reserves once thought unfeasible. This transformation positioned America as a global energy superpower, with liquefied natural gas (LNG) […]
Executive Summary Hydrogen is a versatile and powerful energy resource that stands at the forefront of technologies poised to enable American energy dominance. Today, its primary uses are as a feedstock for ammonia production—a critical input for fertilizer manufacturing—as well as in oil refining and chemical manufacturing. However, hydrogen also has broader potential across the […]
Executive Summary America’s next energy revolution is beneath our feet. Geothermal energy is a 24/7, reliable power source that strengthens the grid, reduces costs, and enhances U.S. energy independence. Built on decades of American drilling expertise, next-generation geothermal leverages advances in hydraulic fracturing, horizontal drilling, and subsurface engineering to unlock vast domestic energy reserves—without reliance […]
Introduction Nuclear energy provides reliable, zero-emissions electricity and has the highest capacity factor of any power-generation source. In 2023, nuclear plants in the United States operated at full capacity more than 93 percent of the time. Nuclear assets run 24/7, 365 days a year, providing clean, abundant and safe baseload power. In the U.S., demand […]
About CRES Forum
Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) Forum is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in 2017 to educate Republican policymakers and the public about responsible, conservative solutions to address our nation’s energy, economic, and environmental security while increasing America’s competitive edge.
National Clean Energy Week
CRES and CRES Forum are the lead conveners of National Clean Energy Week (NCEW). Described by POLITICO as “a veritable who’s who of the Clean Energy World,” NCEW is an annual awareness week to recognize the value of clean energy including abundant job opportunities, economic growth, energy independence, consumer choice, lower energy prices, and a cleaner environment. Established in 2017, NCEW brings together CEOs, advocates, congressional officials from both parties, and industry leadership from across the country.
