In this hard-hitting episode of The Forum, Trey Lindsey and cohost Mike Koscielniak sit down with Daniel Turner, founder of Power the Future, to unpack why energy has become the new Cold War and how it shapes every aspect of American life.
From devastated coal towns and the war on pipelines to Iran’s terror funding, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and China’s EV and rare earth strategy, Turner traces how bad energy policy at home makes our enemies rich—and makes American communities poorer, weaker, and more dependent.
He explains why U.S. oil, gas, and coal are cleaner and more ethical than imports, how green mandates and EV pushes become tools of control, and why energy dominance is the key to peace, prosperity, and keeping American soldiers out of unnecessary wars.
If you want to understand how Keystone, fracking bans, Venezuela, Cuba, Greenland, the Arctic, and even AI and EVs all connect in a single geopolitical energy map, this conversation is a must-watch.
