Despite fueling unprecedented domestic manufacturing, global dominance, and technological advancement throughout the last century, the American energy industry has been playing defense in recent decades. Activist environmentalism and liberal government bureaucrats have vilified oil and gas (not to mention nuclear), aggressively lobbying to curtail the discovery, drilling, and development of America’s natural resources.
Further compounding the issue, major financial institutions such as BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard have enforced radical environmental, social, and governance (ESG) policies, inflicting significant damage on industries like oil, gas, and coal. During President Biden’s administration, federal agencies issued an unrelenting stream of mandates, rules, and regulations that undermined the production of affordable, clean, and reliable energy.
The return of Donald Trump to the White House, however, has heralded a dramatic shift in the government’s approach to domestic energy policy. Trump’s inauguration and his day-one executive orders marked not only a return to the energy-friendly policies of his first administration but also a robust effort to reestablish America as the heart of global energy production.
Trump declared in his inaugural address, “The golden age of America begins right now.” Such a vision demands energy production on an unprecedented scale. Amid priorities like border security, bureaucratic reform, and addressing government overreach, Trump outlined a bold strategy for powering America’s future.
“Today I will also declare a national energy emergency. We will drill, baby, drill,” Trump announced after taking the oath of office. He elaborated:
America will be a manufacturing nation once again, and we have something that no other manufacturing nation will ever have: the largest amount of oil and gas of any country on Earth. And we are going to use it. We will bring prices down, fill our strategic reserves up again, right to the top, and export American energy all over the world. We will be a rich nation again. And it is that liquid gold under our feet that will help to do it. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
