Let’s talk about fixing our physical frailties. I’ll use me as an example and express the hope I have for the future, as long as the Lord wants me here.

The proliferation of data centers needed to support AI development, along with myriad announcements to onshore manufacturing supply chains, are leading to surging energy demand. When companies choose locations for these energy-intensive operations, they prioritize one thing above all: the availability of reliable, affordable power in the near term for the long term.

Since it's been a few years since his most-recent call, I had assumed that Ratchethead Ledbottom had passed away and we simply did not receive his obituary. Alas, the old curmudgeon remains upright, and his remains will be a future embalming endeavor (if necessary).

Just a clean CR to keep the government open so that we can pay people, we can serve people, and we can progress with all of the other conversations that my colleagues want to have.

President Trump and his administration are doing great work to restore energy common sense, and another step toward a practical solution is at hand. Congressman Troy Balderson (R-OH-12) has introduced the Affordable, Reliable, Clean Energy Security Act of 2025, a bill that anchors energy policy in clear, evidence-based definitions of "affordable," "reliable," and "clean" aims to steer us toward stability and affordability.
