Secretary Doug Burgum’s recent remarks celebrating falling inflation, lower gasoline prices, and a surge in private investment read like the truth Americans have been waiting to hear after years of economic mismanagement. Burgum told conservative media that energy prices are down and capital investment in America has risen to record levels under President Trump’s leadership, a direct payoff from policies that prioritize production over punishment. These are not empty boasts — they are the real-world results of reversing destructive green mandates and unleashing American industry.
Burgum went further, predicting that the country is “going to see growth rates like we haven’t seen in many people’s lifetime,” and he’s right to be bullish. The incoming wave of investment in energy, mining, and manufacturing — especially where states embrace reliable, affordable power — will turbocharge output and bring back good-paying jobs that left under the last administration. Conservatives have been saying for years that capital follows sensible policy; now we’re watching it happen in real time.
The heart of this revival is energy abundance, not virtue signaling. The administration’s push to restore American energy dominance has driven down fuel costs and taken pressure off families’ budgets while making U.S. industry competitive again, a simple fact Burgum stressed at recent White House meetings. Lower energy costs mean cheaper food, cheaper transportation, and the equivalent of a massive, permanent tax cut for working Americans.
We’re also seeing the payoff of bold moves to secure critical minerals and rebuild our mining capacity, a key theme Burgum highlighted when discussing partnerships and investment. The Trump administration’s minerals deals and focus on domestic processing are reversing decades of reliance on hostile regimes for essential inputs, and that shift will bring factories, refineries, and technological leadership back to American soil. If you want manufacturing and middle-class jobs, you support policies that dig, refine, and build here at home.
Make no mistake: the regulatory rollback and sensible permitting reforms Burgum advocates are central to attracting the “record levels” of capital he mentioned. When bureaucratic shackles are cut and companies know they can build 24/7 reliable power and supply chains in America, investment floods in — precisely what conservative policy aimed to achieve. Democrats who wring their hands about “climate virtue” while keeping projects on ice are playing politics with people’s paychecks, and the contrast could not be clearer.
This is a clarion call to every patriot who cares about prosperity and national strength: policies that favor production, sensible regulation, and energy security work. Doug Burgum is saying what every sensible voter can see — when you unleash American ingenuity and resources, the results are explosive growth, rising wages, and renewed pride in this country. If conservatives continue to back leaders who put America first, we will restore the promise of upward mobility for a new generation.
