As the week commenced, Vladimir Putin issued a new warning that Russia is being pushed across red lines which cannot be crossed if escalating war is to be avoided.
America hasn't had transformative growth in 50 years. It's time we change that.
This week saw continued escalations by the insane Biden Administration of the Ukraine war which Donald Trump neutralized. The fight against Tusli Gabbard, whose active soldier antiwar stance has made her a hero will expose the deepest of deep state operatives in all their ugliness.
In October President Trump called to double U.S. power plant capacity and lower energy prices as part of his second term. Now as President-elect he has already created a new National Energy Council to be headed by the Secretary of Interior and joined by Secretaries of Energy, Commerce, et al, which will be part of the National Security Council at the White House. Nominees for Secretary of Interior Doug Burgum and Secretary of Energy Chris Wright are both dedicated to the critical role of American energy security.
In 2021, Chris Wright said, “Roughly 1 billion, or 15 percent of the world’s population, live highly energized, wealthy, modern lifestyles recognizable to Coloradans. More than twice that many people — one third of the global population — cook their daily meals burning wood and dung and have either no electricity or only modest, intermittent access to electricity. I can think of no starker illustration of the immense inequality in today’s world. This cannot stand.”
President Trump’s NEC initiative is entirely consistent with the Promethean Action proposal below, which has been circulating since October, and was inspired by President Trump’s Agenda47 video in 2023 to build “hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of new power plants.” Our goal is not only to help inspire this new NEC, but to inspire our citizens as well as local and state elected leaders to begin the massive job of national reconstruction.
This proposal looks to establish a federal task force, like the NEC, to double U.S. energy capacity—in this case starting with the approximate 700 GW of national baseload power supply, which means ignoring the unreliable green energy sources, and building another 700 GW over the next four years. Other groups are thinking at far too small a level to make America great. We have to plan for the level of growth we will inspire as we unleash this quality of productive spirit.
This report also intends to help your local leaders understand the role of American federalism, and how any effective national mobilization of manufacturing and industry depends on one, a massive energy build-out, and two, the coordination of county and state leaders to set the foundations for effective federal assistance on regulations, licensing, and even financing. No matter how competent our new federal leaders might be, they will never have the clarity to maximize the positive impact for communities in our republic. That depends on you, the citizens, and a civic culture of true self-government and a commitment to physical progress.
Past American experience shows us that once energy is available, applications quickly develop. As it stands, we are far below the necessary energy supply to provide heating and cooling during extreme weather, let alone to return America to a manufacturing superpower, which requires more like a tripling of current baseload supply.
To accomplish this task we will need to build-out our supply chains as in wartime with a centralized strategic focus for what technology and materials are most essential and what the build-out time will be for each sector. We will need to build-up an entire new labor force just to build the plants, which once accomplished will give us a new generation of skilled tradesmen and engineers who will lead the next big projects around the country, projects like NAWAPA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbSZ_uSTcEY which would provide massive amounts of water to the western states.
Each plant should be coupled with hives of new industry, so that as we expand energy production we are also reshoring and rebuilding our manufacturing sectors. We need to create new megaplexes of manufacturing in areas like electronics, textiles, robotics, building materials, agricultural equipment, as well as new infrastructure, aeronautics, and transportation. With the creation of the new space age, everything from the factories, the machines, and the infrastructure to the new products produced will be state-of-the-art technologies, which will rapidly expand American exports to the benefit of nations around the world.
This report gives a sense of how we get started, how we can build hundreds of new plants in the first year alone, and rebuild a true American system of political-economy. It also addresses how we can fund this level of national mission, because this is not 700-plus different projects, but one national project to double power capacity, and national credit and banking will be critical to ensuring the long-term success of our republic.
It is time to make America powerful again, and that begins with thinking big. It is also time to unleash the power of American genius and inspire a new generation of discoverers!

PROPOSAL FOR A
BASELOAD ENERGY TASK-FORCE
Under a wartime-like mobilization establish a centralized federal
task-force, coordinated with the DOE and DOC, to ensure the
building of 700 additional baseload power plants (coal, natural gas,
nuclear, and hydro) nationwide by the end of 2028. This means we
will double national baseload energy supply during Trump II. By
doing so, we will outpace the rate of growth of China over the last
thirty years and reestablish American economic success globally.
It is existential that the U.S.A. once again becomes a manufacturing superpower. A renewed manufacturing base is key for national security, our trade and the international dollar system, our financial markets, and our shared prosperity. This initiative is not merely an option but a necessity for the success of coming generations of Americans, and it is also a deep cultural issue. An advanced manufacturing economy is one that rewards true scientific discovery, builds optimism regarding the moral and creative nature of mankind, and fortifies a deep and real sense of patriotism. Yet to accomplish this return to an American manufacturing superpower, we must practically double our national electrical power supply, in essence build an additional 1000 large power plants in the coming decade.
To address this necessity, President Trump has called for the construction of hundreds and hundreds of power plants to rebuild the nation as a manufacturing superpower, in essence doubling U.S. energy supply.This is no small task, especially given the political warfare against the nation, yet this task is the single most important initiative, combined with tariffs, new trade deals, and fiscal incentives, to rebuild American manufacturing, promote the common defense of the nation, and make Americans powerful again.
To that end, we present this proposal.
The problem runs deep. Per land area, industrial consumption of energy is far greater than residential consumption, and requires baseload supply not intermittent wasteful renewables. As we have outsourced manufacturing, we have also severely degraded our baseload energy supply. This plan provides a roadmap for an executive task force to wage strategic economic war on the stupidity of the last fifty years, and launch the foundations for a new American manufacturing renaissance. This is an executable plan to have 175 baseload energy plants (coal, natural gas, nuclear, or hydro) opened or under construction by the end of 2025, and to add an additional 175 plants each year for the following three years, with 700 new plants operating or under construction by the end of 2028.
U.S. current capacity is 1.16 TW of electricity, with 30% renewable. This means baseload capacity is approximately 700 GW. With 700 additional plants approximately 1.0 GW in size, we will add nearly 100% to our baseload energy capacity, providing the greatest environment for the development of advanced industry the world has ever seen. To be successful this plan will require a war-like planning effort with integrated political and private sector engagement at every level, organized by a centralized task force focused on one thing: build the plants!
It will also require the bold use of financing mechanisms, as well as the development of critical domestic supply chains. To build this many plants we will need to rebuild U.S. industrial supply, and that’s the point!
This is not 700 projects, but one project to build 700 plants, which in toto will provide a standardized market at scale sufficiently large enough to rebuild the entire U.S. industrial supply chain, similar to the transcontinental railroad and the related expansion of U.S. steel industry in the 1870s, or the “Arsenal of Democracy” war mobilization for WWII. This means that we will not only build the plants here, but that everything needed to build the plants will also be made here!
With the volume of plants required, and with sufficient financing, we will have the market to establish a domestic supply chain in critical heavy industries as well as over advanced life-long careers in skilled labor and industry. With a focused and unrelenting task-force approach, we can ensure the fundamental foundation for American power is restored in the next four years.
STEP ONE: THE LOW HANGING FRUIT
This is a war on economic stupidity. To start, we reopen any coal and nuclear plant that can provide safe and effective baseload power capacity for a minimum of ten years. This will increase capacity on an emergency basis as we gear up for long term success. Investments to ensure safety and reliability are a fraction of the capital costs of building a new plant. With effective mobilization we can add up to 50 GW of power to the grid in a matter of months, a potentially 5% increase nationally, all while we build out the supply chain requirements and begin the process to build new, longer lasting plants.
Over 300 coal plants (avg. size ~400 MW) have been shut down over the last fifteen years, with a total loss of 120 GW. Depending on conditions of these plants, reactivation can provide an available, if short-term supply of energy to build new and more advanced plants. The point is, we need baseload energy now to kickstart the industrialization process.
In addition to these closures, there are plans to shut down an additional 157 GW of coal plants by 2039! These green pipedreams are now facing major headwinds as energy demand skyrockets over AI and data center requirements, but merely servicing the needs for AI will not restore American industrial might.
By restarting previously deactivated coal plants, we will help ensure that all viable plants remain open until we have secured long-term sufficient power for the nation’s renewed manufacturing base.
The same is true of some of the nation’s deactivated nuclear plants. Twelve nuclear plants have been closed nationally since 2012, with over 9 GW of power lost combined. Eleven of these could be restored with various levels of investment.
Already Approved
According to the EIA, 20 natural gas plants are in the pipeline for construction in the next two years, with 7.7 GW of capacity. These plants can be expedited, and with rapid construction techniques practiced at national scale, we can expect to build these 20 new natural gas plants in less than a year, with many more licensed and in the pipe.
We currently have 17 nuclear units which have been licensed by the NRC, and 8 of those have already received construction permits. These 17 units, many of which are planned as additional reactors to already existing nuclear plant sites, can provide an additional 24 GW of capacity.
This new DOE report2 goes even further. The DOE reviewed the 54 currently operating nuclear plants, as well as the 11 retired, over 31 states, and determined that an additional 158 units of 600 MW size, or 54 units of 1 GW size, could be built providing an additional 60 to 95 GW of power, with lower licensing and construction times because the sites are already approved and operational.
Nuclear plants already licensed should be given all possible incentives to get shovels in the ground immediately, and while we expand supply chain capacity, additional nuclear plants can be licensed and prepped for construction.
With low-interest financing, a large national market, and improved construction efficiency, the long life span, capital intensity, and reliability of nuclear plants will be key to the nation’s long term strategic interests.
As these sites for coal, natural gas, and nuclear plants are mapped out and prioritized, the task-force will reach out to the utility companies, county and state officials, and other interested private parties, including local manufacturers and industry regarding their needs and concerns, and address these as quickly as possible to get the projects moving, whether challenges arise in licensing, construction obstacles, finance, supply
chain, skilled labor, etc. The Congressional delegations from these states will be looped in, and the American federal system will be brought into full play.
Regulatory insanity will need to be cut. The task-force will operate under a wartime-like emergency as much as politically possible.
Immediate Potential
We have 11 nuclear plants and hundreds of coal plants that could be reopened, potentially within a matter of months at minimal cost per GW. This can provide up to a 10% increase of our nuclear energy supply (9+ GW), and we can potentially salvage 50 GWs or more of coal capacity. These steps provide a significant boost for at least the coming decade.
2 https://fuelcycleoptions.inl.gov/SiteAssets/SitePages/Home/Evaluation%20of%20NPP%20and%20CPP%20Sites%20Aug%2016%202024.pdf
We have 20 natural gas plants (avg. 500 MW) which can be built within the first year, but we can expect this to increase significantly based on national incentives and outreach, and with expedited construction techniques we can expect to see new natural gas plants built in under a year, with a forty year lifespan.
We can also have shovels in the ground for an additional 17 pre-licensed nuclear units, and an additional possible 158 nuclear power units with expedited approval process, creating a critical boom in the nuclear market for supply chain and labor development.
Total added capacity in the first year can amount to ~60 GW with up to 130 plants opened, and tens of large nuclear units under construction.
STEP TWO: WARTIME-LIKE INDUSTRIALIZATION
“My men can eat their belts, but my tanks got to have gas.” – General George S. Patton Jr.
We have to drive our nation out of the malaise of deindustrialization. A coordinated effort with new trade policies, environmental deregulations, national security priorities, fiscal incentives, private sector supply chain development, and financing mechanisms will need to be brought to bear, hammer and tong, to ensure the building of hundreds of new power plants during Trump II.
A wartime-like mobilization means that we are prepared to take all viable actions necessary to sufficiently expand the nation’s power capacity. The marketplace will only do so much, and will start and stop with the easiest of low hanging fruit. Limitations on financing, labor, the supply chain, regulations, and the hostile political opposition will look to instill lower expectations and encourage the minimum.
Even with significant government action to incentivize construction, the private sector development of supply chain requirements as a national mission will be integral, as in wartime, to achieve success.
This means critical political outreach will define the successful expansion of the mission at hand.
Step One has taken everything off the shelf and put it to work. These new or restored plants will provide the input energy to build-out the new supply chain production process, and this will enable us to ultimately expand to the construction of hundreds of new plants in parallel.
New Hives of Industry
We will need to quickly identify where new additional power plants can have the greatest economic boost for productive economic activity. In essence, Step Two will depend on coordinating the initiative of state leaders in the public and private sector who can provide full-scale collaboration to bring new plants online quickly, and with the maximum industrial bang for the buck. Every state or local initiative will be backed-up by the taskforce with expediting of approval, overcoming political obstacles and regulatory restrictions, and even financing.
To compete globally, we will need to build the most state-of-the-art manufacturing centers the world has ever seen. Like in mechanized warfare, every drop of gasoline is critical. Each new plant can and should be integrated into the building of new clusters of industry to power the nation’s future economy. Importantly, by integrating new plant development with the interests of industrial customers we ensure the long term success of construction based on local commitments, as well as secure the long-term financing costs of the plant. In addition to state and local initiatives, the task force will identify areas where new initiatives can best provide platforms for new industrial centers and hives of industry.
The Task Force will begin working with state officials, including governors, state legislators, county officials, as well as industrial corporations and Congressional and military leaders to identify locations for approximately 600 additional plants.
We Have Major Chokepoints
We currently CANNOT build 25 plants let alone 700 plants at the same time. The supply of equipment, parts, and labor will be grossly insufficient for construction. For example, two very clear major choke points currently exist: turbines and transformers3, and these will require major imports as we build out production.
We will be rebuilding the industrial economy at scale, nothing less, and each new expansion in one particular artery will require the entire industrial vascular system to grow to meet the nation’s growing needs, whether in logistics and transportation, steel and alloys, electronics and manufactured components, or engineers, pipefitters, and machinists. The chokepoints for materials, parts, and labor will need to be evaluated and expanded in real time, and will be a decisive role of the task-force to coordinate and ensure full success.
To do this, the task force will coordinate with all local, state, national, and international parties, as well as federal agencies to make sure hundreds of plants come online and the nation starts to hum.

FINANCING
This entire program is best seen as one National Project: a commitment to reestablish the nation’s power platform and ensure the U.S. becomes a manufacturing superpower. Financing for a Baseload Energy Finance Corporation based on tarffs can have an economic impact in the trillions of dollars. Expanding this financing arm to include not just baseload plants but also large capital investments in the necessary supply chain will accomplish an industrial renewal unlike anything the world has ver seen,outpacing even China’s rapid economic rise of the last forty years.
To empower national coordination and political accountability, a financing facility similar to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation capitalized with $100 billion, will provide sufficient finance for this monumental mission and ensure investment in every state and region of the country. The Biden regime has stupidly provided $40 billion to build rural internet capacity, $7 billion to build EV charging stations, $200+ billion to Ukraine to win the war against Russia, and none of these will ever be accomplished. Political will is not made of money, but providing the necessary long-term financing for critical projects is key to empower the political will to get the job done!
The project is national, and every state will both contribute to the construction of the plants and directly benefit from their construction and power supply. With a distinct Baseload Energy Finance Corporation (BEFC), the entire project will have total financing at a fraction of the cost, the facility will ultimately turn a profit as we saw with the RFC and TVA, and it will encourage massive private sector engagement and investment.
Total financing required for the first 100 plants, give or take, will equal $150 billion. Extending this for 700 plants, with construction costs approaching demonstrated minimums, would make the total construction cost of the whole project approximately $900 billion.
Given current conservative lending and banking practices, all 700 plants can be built with a $100 billion up-front capital provision to establish a BEFC. This is a provision far smaller than the Ukraine war funding or the subsidies for the ongoing green energy agenda, and can provide the necessary credit to build the entire project over the coming decade.
To make the necessary capital investments in the development of the domestic heavy-industrial supply chain we should expand this to $100 billion per year for the first four years funded by tariffs. With a 20% baseline tariff, and approximately $4 trillion in imports, this baseline tariff will generate approximately $800 billion annually, and given the intent of tariffs it is economically sound to invest tariff income towards domestic industry and production.
Title 17 of the 2005 Energy Act can provide loan guarantees for power plants and supply chain requirements via the Federal Financing Bank at the Treasury, but the overwhelming green agenda which has been attached to Title 17 could easily overwhelm the strategic development of our baseload power, including the reopening of dormant coal plants and building new gas plants. Title 17 could work, but we should look to an ideal financing structure that gives greatest possible impetus to the project.
A federal corporation could function like the RFC during the 1930s, providing direct loans where necessary, while primarily providing loan-guarantees to local and state banks which will otherwise be the primary lender to the local utility company or entity responsible for the construction of the new plant. It is important to integrate the local institutions into the overall success of each plant.
We should also encourage the creation of public utility companies and empower small towns and cities to invest in their own industrial renewal.
The RFC Model
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) was a quasi-public corporation established in 1932 to deal with the crisis of the Great Depression. The RFC was owned by the federal government, which appointed the corporation’s executive officers and board of directors, but was staffed by professionals recruited outside of the civil service system and its borrowings and expenditures were independent of the federal government budget. RFC expenditures did not increase budget deficits. The RFC was empowered to make loans and finance projects without Congressional approval.
The initial funding for the RFC came from the sale of $500 million worth of stocks and bonds to the United States Treasury. To obtain more capital, it sold $1.5 billion in bonds to the Treasury, which then sold them to the general public. Over the period from 1932 through 1941, the RFC loaned or otherwise disbursed about $9.5 billion. By the time the RFC was dissolved in 1957, it was in the black and had repaid all of its loans from the federal government, as well as other creditors.
During the depression years, the RFC built an unparalleled economic juggernaut (financing rural electrification, water management, dams, bridges, etc.), much of which was accomplished through collaboration with state and local authorities. The RFC was a public credit institution, and it worked. It built up the productive power of the economy and helped to create a skilled workforce without costing the nation a penny.
Finance the Entire Project and Unleash Private Investment
By expanding the credit necessary for this specific national mission, we will rapidly expand our nation’s industrial base, and over the coming forty years more than recoup the initial loans.
With a financing commitment to build the entire project, versus only a partial capitalization, we will massively increase private sector engagement. The capability to finance all 700 plants will stimulate interested parties in all areas of the nation to gear up for the new industrialization. This is similar to paying o the nation’s Revolutionary War debt. If it is clear that the entirety of the project will be financed and fully funded, then the entire project will encourage far more private investment and early initiative.
The multiplier effect of this $100 billion in capital is far greater than the total construction equity of $900 billion in plant value. The entire industrial supply chain, from mine to machine, will be rebuilt based on the significant long-term demand for construction, industrial development, and expanded economic activity based on the massive increase in power capacity. The net value of this $100 billion provision is in the ballpark of tens of trillions of dollars in economic value over the next ten years.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
COST BREAKDOWN
The cost to build the new nuclear units Vogtle 3 and 4 in Georgia, which are two GE AP-1000 third-plus generation nuclear reactors, was $38.6 billion over 15 years for total construction, more than double the cost and time of what was planned. This is in part due to one-o construction, and part due to massive regulation and inflation.
It is possible, as demonstrated in South Korea and China, to build the 1-GW AP-1000 plants for as low as $2.5 billion in under 5 years. This will require building large numbers of plants, developing industrial centers to ensure domestic supply, and creating new rapid construction techniques based on skilled labor. It will also require secure long-term credit financing for hundreds of new plants.
A 500 MW natural gas plant can cost up to $500 million and take two years to build, and both can decrease at volume of scale.
If we assume that nuclear and natural gas will provide the large majority of new plants for baseload energy construction, with nuclear at ~15% of all current and new baseload plants, and natural gas at 85% of all additional new plants, with each plant equal to the 1 GW capacity, we can estimate total cost for the first 100 plants.
Assuming the first round of nuclear plants will require ~$5,000/kw before we bring costs down even more, the total cost of 15 new 1 GW-capacity nuclear plants will be ~$75 billion, give or take. Total cost of 85 new 1 GW-equivalent natural gas plants will cost $42.5 billion. This total equals ~$120 billion, and with additional factors, is estimated to be $150 billion for the first 100 plants, and approximately $900 billion for 700 plants.
By starting with renovating the older plants we will significantly increase baseload energy supply at a margin of this cost, and that will give the whole project early needed momentum.
COAL
Regarding concerns about coal, the United States has 24% of the world’s coal supply, compared to China which only has 13%, yet China is licensing two new coal plants every week. Japan’s Isogo Unit 2 coal plant4 has reduced toxic emission levels to be equivalent to a natural gas plant, therefore coal remains a strategic resource. All coal plants whether new, currently operating, or able to be reopened are a net benefit to the nation’s energy security.
NATURAL GAS
The U.S. currently has only 5% of world supply, compared to Russia which has 24%, Iran which has 17%, and Qatar which has 12.5%. Over the last ten years, our confirmed national reserves have doubled from 350 trillion cubic feet (tcf) to 700 tcf today5. Natural gas is also an important feedstock for fertilizers, plastics, and synthetic materials. Relying mostly on natural gas to power the 21st Century is not strategic, but remains for the moment a critical power resource, especially given the low cost and time to build plants. This makes it imperative to continue developing coal technology, and rapidly expanding our proportion of nuclear plants, while we develop fusion technology.
NUCLEAR
Third-plus Generation Technology: General Electric’s 1.17 GW nuclear plant, the AP-10006, is a massive upgrade in third generation technology with modular components for easier and safer construction. It has passive safety systems, at least a 60-year life span, up to 50% fewer safety-related valves, 35% fewer pumps, requires 80% less safety-related piping, 85% less control cable, and 45% less seismic building volume. The AP-1000 design uses under a fifth of the concrete and rebar reinforcement of older designs, and also has an 18-month fuel cycle for improved availability and reduced overall fuel cost. China is building these like crazy, why aren’t we? There are also fourth generation reactors under development in China like molten-salt and pebble bed reactors, which have been under discussion for decades in the U.S. but have gone nowhere.
Small Modular Reactors: These are factory made and capable of mass production! We have multiple domestic companies engaged in design and production, including fourth generation molten salt reactors, which are nearly 100% safe. These plants provide advanced manufacturing and assembly employment, reduce the time of custom design and construction, and create a highly exportable product. The plants range from 10 MW to 100 MW, and can be clustered, meaning they can be built for large cities, but also used as single plants for private industrial use or as controlled power supply for critical strategic facilities, including hospitals, military bases, and lunar bases.

6 https://inis.iaea.org/collection/NCLCollectionStore/_Public/42/026/42026956.pdf
Nuclear Waste: In 1951 the U.S. built the first fast breeder reactor. Since 1983, we have abandoned this technology. Fast breeders have a closed fuel cycle, processing their own waste. This technology, combined with a full fuel cycle recycling program established by the U.S. military, national labs, and private industry will be key to long term energy and waste security. Perhaps even more politically feasible at this time, would be the development of fusion technology and the development of the fusion torch recycling system.
Technological advancement is the only way out of the current energy dilemma, and is the only way to ensure long term economic growth, political stability, and cultural optimism.
HYDRO
National hydropower capacity is 80 GW, about 6.7% of total capacity. There are at least five large projects7 under planning with an additional capacity of 13 GW to be added by no later 2033, and this can be expedited. The main potential for adding hydropower capacity could come with large scale water transfer projects, where we intend to deliver needed water into the Great American Desert, like NAWAPA.
There is also the potential of expanding river management to areas where intense flooding can occur, providing dual-benefits to the economic stability of various rural areas.
FUSION
President Trump requested a study from the National Academy of Science regarding the potential to develop a commercial fusion reactor. The NAS provided a report indicating a clear path to success, with construction starting by 2035 and the plant operable by 2040!8 Fusion is here, but we have to harness the potential. We will need a major industrial base to build a fusion-based economy to ensure strategic success throughout the 21st century!
We have multiple companies with various approaches and private financing which are all approaching major breakthroughs in fusion technology, in addition to the national labs which have made recent breakthroughs as well. China is also moving aggressively in this area, as well as in space. America must take the lead!
Fusion is the future, and guarantees new economic growth potentials that are practically infinite in value. Though the initial capital costs will be high, the cost of energy will be nearly zero long term. Fusion fuel will largely depend on mining sea-water for heavy hydrogen, this means reserves are nearly infinite, cheap, and ever replenished! Considering what we can accomplish with an infinite energy supply, the potential is truly limitless.

This means we will double national baseload energy supply during Trump II. By doing so, we will outpace the rate of growth of China over the last thirty years and reestablish American economic success globally.”
