No matter how much the Trump administration achieves through executive orders, fast-tracking permits or canceling billions in subsidies for pie-in-the-sky wind and solar projects, it all could be undone by the next administration.
That’s why it’s imperative that Congress enact the Affordable, Reliable, Clean Energy Security Act (ARC-ES) introduced last month by Rep. Troy Balderson (R-OH). 

To assure abundance and affordability, ARC-ES mandates an evidence-based, all-of-the-above approach to energy.
