The simple solution to the ‘Californication’ of American energy policy

President-elect Trump distills his energy policy in just three words: "Drill baby, drill." 

Last week, the incoming president outlined the executive actions he would take on Day One to reignite American energy production. Foremost among them is replenishing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and greenlighting natural gas export permits.

But in addition to boosting natural gas, Trump wants to usher in a nuclear renaissance by building new nuclear energy power plants across the country.
