ENERGY

A country that runs on oil is a country that runs on a countdown clock. We wanted to stop that clock.

We are building a power plant, not a science experiment. That distinction changes everything about how you make decisions.

Fusion is not 30 years away. It is an engineering problem, not a physics problem. We know the physics works.

The future of energy is not one big power plant. It is a million rooftops, each one a tiny power plant, all connected.

The energy transition is not a 10-year trend. It is a 50-year transformation. We invest on that timescale.

Natural gas is the transition fuel. You cannot go from coal to solar overnight. Something has to bridge the gap. That is what New Fortress Energy does.

The Dangote Refinery will change Africa's energy economics forever.

AI data centers consume megawatts. Photonic interconnects could cut that by 10x.

America has more oil than Saudi Arabia. We just had to figure out how to get it out.

The shale revolution didn't happen because of big oil companies. It happened because of wildcatters like me who were willing to take the risk.

Energy security is not an option — it is the foundation on which every other economic plan is built.

Energy is not just a commodity. It is civilization. Every barrel extracted builds a hospital or a school somewhere.

Success in complex markets comes from commitment, not from distance. If you are not willing to be there, someone else will be.

Green hydrogen is going to change the world. And Australia is sitting on the best renewable energy resources on the planet to produce it.

We were completely wrong about one thing. We built a terminal to import gas, not export it. But getting it wrong was the best thing that ever happened to us.

The geopolitics of energy is really the geopolitics of the next hundred years. Whoever controls the supply chains controls the alliances.

The United States became the world's largest LNG exporter. That happened because a few people refused to give up when the business case looked impossible.

America sits on top of the largest natural gas reserves in the world. We are going to develop them. The only question is who gets there first.

Natural gas is the bridge fuel. It is cleaner than coal, it is cheaper than oil, and we have more of it than we can use in a hundred years.

We made mistakes. Big ones. But the core strategy — the land, the gas, the shale — that was right. History will show it was right.

Whoever gets the land first, wins. Everything else in this business is secondary.

They told me to stop spending money on the Barnett Shale. I kept going anyway. You do not abandon a thesis because it has not paid off yet.

Success and sustainability are not opposites. We can grow the economy and protect the environment at the same time. We just have to be serious about trying.

The gas was always there. The geology does not lie. What we needed was better engineering.

Cheaper energy and cheaper food lift more people out of poverty than any government program ever has.

The Bitcoin cost debate is really the Bitcoin value debate. If you find Bitcoin useful, then the energy used to secure it is not waste.

Bitcoin is a synthetic commodity that monetizes energy that would otherwise be wasted, such as stranded hydro and flared gas.
