Exploring The Economic Impact of American-made Fossil Energy
Why Fossil Energy?
When you choose American Fossil Energy (AFE), you're making an investment in the communities that power our nation.
Every kilowatt of energy generated from American coal and natural gas supports jobs, strengthens local businesses, and keeps our economy independent.
The energy economy doesn't stop at the power plant. When you power your home or business with American-made fossil fuel energy, you're fueling an entire supply chain of workers and businesses.
From restaurants and hospitals to schools, homes, and local service providers, reliable energy keeps daily life running.
Coal miners, natural gas drillers, and power plant workers extract and generate the energy that powers America.
Truck drivers, railway operators, and equipment manufacturers transport and support the steady flow of fossil fuels across the country.
When a home in Sandusky, Ohio, switches to American Fossil Energy, that energy might come from coal mined in West Virginia or natural gas produced in Pennsylvania. That single choice supports jobs in multiple states while keeping energy dollars circulating within the U.S. economy.
America once led the world in energy production and self-sufficiency. But increasing reliance on foreign energy threatens economic stability.
In 2023, the United States imported about 8.51 million barrels per day (b/d) of petroleum from 86 countries.
Green energy mandates force reliance on solar panels and rare earth minerals sourced from China, reducing American control over its own power supply.
Energy security directly impacts national security. A country that controls its own energy supply is stronger, more resilient, and less vulnerable to global market fluctuations.
AFE ensures that Americans aren't left at the mercy of foreign energy policies. By keeping production, distribution, and consumption within U.S. borders, we create energy independence that fuels long-term economic stability.
Natural gas and coal provide stable, 24/7 energy—unlike wind and solar, which fluctuate based on weather conditions.
States with aggressive renewable mandates, such as California and New York, have experienced significant increases in electricity rates.
For instance, California's average residential electricity rates are among the highest in the country.
