Trump’s Vision vs. Biden’s Energy Sabotage
Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum dropped a bombshell at a Breitbart News policy event this week, revealing that America’s untapped natural resources—including oil, gas, and critical minerals—could be worth up to $100 trillion, tripling the value of the U.S. national debt (Breitbart). While the Biden administration spent four years locking away federal lands and waters from development, Burgum’s analysis proves President Trump’s “energy dominance” agenda isn’t just about jobs—it’s about leveraging America’s God-given resources to secure our financial future.
“If you take our forests, our lands, our grasslands, our mineral resources, or offshore resources, I think the number is… double, triple, what our national debt is. It could be a 100 trillion.”
— Secretary Doug Burgum, March 19, 2025
The $100 Trillion Blueprint: Unlocking America’s Balance Sheet
Burgum, a former tech CEO turned Trump cabinet heavyweight, broke down the math:
- 700 million acres of federal surface land with oil, gas, and timber (Newsmax).
- 700 million acres of subsurface mineral rights for coal and rare earth metals.
- 2.5 billion acres of offshore territory—largely unexplored—for energy production.
For years, Democrats and their media allies have weaponized the $36.6 trillion national debt to fearmonger about austerity. But Burgum’s data exposes their lies: America isn’t bankrupt—it’s being held hostage by bureaucrats who refuse to develop our assets (Investing.com).
Deep State’s War on American Prosperity
The Biden administration’s Interior Department spent four years suffocating energy projects with “climate equity” red tape. They canceled oil leases, blocked mining permits, and even withdrew 625 million acres of offshore territory from exploration in a midnight regulation spree (Daily Signal). Meanwhile, China secured 94.5 gigawatts of new coal power in 2024 alone—enough to fuel their AI and military dominance.
Burgum didn’t hold back:
“We killed the mining industry over the last 30 years. A copper mine in the U.S. has been waiting 29 years for permits while we import from China.”
This isn’t incompetence—it’s sabotage. The same deep state actors who greenlit Biden’s energy surrender are now panicking as Trump’s team exposes their balance sheet deception.
China’s Rise vs. America’s Self-Sabotage
While Biden’s EPA waged war on baseload power, China built two coal plants per week in 2024. Burgum warned:
“Electricity becomes intelligence. If we don’t fix this, we’ll lose the AI race—and our sovereignty.”
Trump’s newly formed National Energy Dominance Council, chaired by Burgum, is already slashing permitting delays for pipelines, mines, and export terminals. The goal? Reverse Biden’s collapse and ensure every watt, barrel, and mineral deposit fuels American prosperity—not Beijing’s dictatorship.
Patriots vs. the Swamp
The media won’t tell you this, but Trump’s 2025 energy playbook includes:
- “Drill Baby Drill”: Restore federal oil/gas leasing halted by Biden.
- “Map Baby Map”: Use USGS surveys to inventory ALL national resources.
- “Build Baby Build”: Fast-track power plants and grid upgrades.
This is how we bankrupt China—not ourselves.
