AELI @ The Energy Imperatives Summit
AELI was a proud sponsor of the 2025 Energy Imperatives Summit—a powerhouse gathering focused on U.S. energy leadership, innovation, and competitiveness. The event featured leading conservative voices on energy policy, including a keynote by US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, who is delivering on President Trump’s vision for US energy dominance.
At the conference, AELI President Chris Johnson hit the stage alongside moderator Daniel Bring (Managing Director, American Affairs), tackling big questions about energy markets and how to harness America’s natural advantages in energy and manufacturing, and beat back against failed ideas from the progressive left.
Conner Brace, AELI advisor and former aide to US Secretary of Energy Rick Perry and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA), joined the panel too, bringing sharp insights on how to hold China accountable for its pollution and put the American economy first.
Thanks to American Affairs, the American Conservation Coalition, and the Foundation for American Innovation for spearheading this timely event.
