For 75 years, oil and natural gas have helped power North Dakota’s communities, jobs, and future. See how that growth has translated into jobs, infrastructure, and long-term investment:

"Seventy-five years after North Dakota’s first oil discovery, the state’s energy leadership remains a pillar of economic stability and national strength. This milestone also coincides with ten years since the violent Dakota Access Pipeline protests, a futile attempt to strongarm the government into halting a pipeline that today transports roughly 40 percent of the Bakken’s oil production. As we reflect on 75 years of North Dakota oil production, we are grateful to the producers and transporters who have made this success possible and continue to power American energy dominance." - GAIN Spokesman, Craig Stevens, @Stevens_NH

Thanks @dcexaminer for publishing my commentary today on attempts to use foreign courts to undo effects of court judgments in the United States: "Greenpeace can't ask foreign court to undo an American ruling" washingtonexaminer.com/op-eds/4544523… //@georgemasonlaw @MasonResearch @MasonLEC //

Energy security is back in focus as global tensions rise. The “all of the above” vs. “best of the above” debate misses the point. GAIN advisor Guy Caruso outlines a common-sense approach to energy policy in his recent article. Learn more in The Hill: thehill.com/opinion/energy…

The Permian Basin is delivering low-cost energy. As oil production grows, natural gas comes with it, driving prices down in West Texas. But without enough pipeline capacity, those lower costs don’t reach the rest of the country. Learn more from our blog: gainnow.org/2026/04/14/tex…

A natural gas pipeline in Alaska remains a significant opportunity but it continues to face the same structural challenges it did more than a decade ago. Without alignment across capital, buyers, supply, and fiscal terms, large-scale projects like this do not move forward. Learn more: gainnow.org/2026/04/06/ala…

When approved energy projects are delayed, new supply can be pushed back even as demand increases. FERC’s decision allows construction to move forward during rehearing, supporting timely infrastructure development and system reliability. Read our blog for more. gainnow.org/2026/03/30/fer…

FERC has reaffirmed a rule to reduce delays that can hold up approved pipelines and LNG facilities even after authorization. More predictable permitting helps ensure infrastructure is completed on time and supports reliable energy supply. Learn more: gainnow.org/2026/03/30/fer…

As production continues to surge, investing in shale gas means investing in American energy security and long-term dominance. Read more on our blog: gainnow.org/2026/03/23/sha…

The Iran–U.S. conflict exposed how fragile global energy markets really are. But there’s a path forward: American shale gas. Learn more from our blog: gainnow.org/2026/03/23/sha…

Reliable energy systems require more than supply. They require confidence that projects approved and adjudicated under U.S. law will not face renewed challenges elsewhere. The attempt to reopen the Dakota Access Pipeline dispute in a European court raises broader concerns about the investment environment for American energy infrastructure. Cross-border legal challenges introduce risks that delay developments, discourage capital, and undermine the stability of domestic energy systems. With today’s rising demand and global volatility, consistency in legal outcomes is critical to sustaining infrastructure investment and ensuring energy systems can operate as intended.

The recent Strategic Petroleum Reserve release shows how quickly global conflict can disrupt energy markets. While reserves provide short-term stability, lasting resilience comes from strong domestic production and infrastructure. Read our blog for more: gainnow.org/2026/03/23/wha…

Winter Storm Fern showed how quickly extreme weather can strain the grid. Stronger permitting timelines and coordination help infrastructure keep up with affordability, reliability, and grid demand. Learn more from our blog: gainnow.org/2026/03/18/per…

New letter from @NTUF, "Permitting Reform Is Needed to Boost Grid Reliability", excerpt below: "One clear lesson from Winter Storm Fern is that meeting future demand will require expanded baseload capacity supported by substantial private investment and a modernized permitting framework. Reforming federal and state permitting processes is essential to ensure that transmission lines, pipelines, and power generation facilities can be planned and constructed on timelines that match accelerating energy needs."

As electricity consumption increases, generation and transmission must advance alongside projected load to maintain affordability and reliability. Texas’ energy resources and diversified power mix position the state to support sustained digital infrastructure growth and long-term economic competitiveness.

Texas is on track to become one of the world’s largest data center markets by 2030. That growth signals a major shift in electricity demand and economic opportunity. Learn more from our blog: gainnow.org/2026/03/11/tex…

Investing public and private capital into America’s infrastructure is the key to securing our future. Thanks @mikeroweworks and Larry Fink for addressing concerns about American energy, security and stability as it relates to infrastructure and the deficit we’re facing.

Hearing from Chevron CEO, Mike Wirth, on the importance of permitting reform. Permitting impacts security, reliability and affordability. And the current limitations mean the private sector cannot put a lot of capital into it and that resources are not getting into markets. Both issues impacting our energy security and dominance.

Important conversation from @SecretaryBurgum on how shutting down traditional energy plants and replacing them with intermittent energy souces and acting like it’s cheaper is not the solution for right now. We need a smart approach to energy transition.

“Energy independence is energy dominance…and therefore worth pursuing.” @SecretaryBurgum
