Why Government Interference Is Fueling the Energy Crisis

In this episode of The Miller Report: Real Clear Journalism, we discuss energy affordability rising to the top of the national conversation. David DesRosiers explains why voters, policymakers, and industry leaders are rethinking America’s energy priorities. In this interview, we discuss the growing “affordability mindset,” the politics of high energy costs, and why he believes government interference and artificial scarcity have driven prices higher for consumers nationwide.

The conversation explores the need to “build baby build,” the importance of reliable and affordable energy alongside clean energy goals, and why an “all of the above” strategy — especially one that includes natural gas — should be a bipartisan priority. DesRosiers also highlights the importance of the ARC Energy Security Act and why bringing together science, free markets, and politics is critical to America’s energy future. This conversation took place at the 2026 RealClear Energy Future Forum.
