ALFA Field Notes

Good morning. In case you missed yesterday’s live conversation with Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Breitbart’s Matthew Boyle, we wanted to share some top moments with you. But first, our big takeaway was this: the Secretary is full of energy, bottom-line minded, and in total command of the facts. Perhaps this shouldn’t come as a surprise when a former tech executive and governor takes the reins of a government agency, but even still, you can’t help but be inspired by his commitment to the job and keeping America at the top of its competitive edge.

Projects, Not White Papers 

Secretary Burgum describes the makeup and mission of the National Energy Dominance Council: a TIGER team focused on project approvals, not white papers.

Four Babies

We’ve all heard “Drill, Baby, Drill.” And ALFA has told you about “Map, Baby, Map.” Turns out there are a couple more babies in the mix (“Mine, Baby, Mine” and “Build, Baby, Build”). Secretary Burgum explains how each interacts with one another to accelerate America’s innovation and industrial edge. Also: a detailed history and future of geological mapping.

AI Empowering Purpose Driven Work

In perhaps our favorite moment, Secretary Burgum stepped away from project approval and resource development to describe the power that AI can have on our economy, workforce, and overall human purpose.

Thanks for joining us yesterday and we look forward to seeing you at the next one. More announcements coming soon.
