About Us

eagleandflagAmericanEnergySecurity.com provides news, views, research and analysis on energy, the economy, and the environment. We have no favorite energy sectors, resources, or technologies—we support all viable commercial and emerging options.

At the core, we are a pro-growth initiative featuring energy. We believe in aggressive market-driven development of all American energy resources by American workers to support sustained economic growth. The resulting creation of wealth, employment, and technological advancements, will build increased capacity to improve the environment.

Our goal is to be a leading source of unique, relevant, and timely information on America’s vast and diverse energy resources, technologies, businesses, markets, and on associated issues, events and developments. Informing Americans about the many opportunities to advance economic growth, prosperity, employment, national security, energy independence, and technological leadership through the responsible development of all American energy sources is what we’re all about.

The AmericanEnergySecurity.com website is sponsored, owned, and managed by A. J. Mayer International, LLC. (“AJMI”), a family-owned private company with an independent voice. We are beholden to no outside special interests. The managers of AmericanEnergySecurity.com are a father and sons team–James Mayer and his two sons Adam Mayer and Adair Mayerwho, acting on behalf of AJMI, bring a diversity of experience, perspective and passion to our mission.

We are excited to reach out to all Americans, including our youth, in an effort help advance a deep understanding of the complex and critical energy landscape.  Showing how energy relates to the economy will be an important part of our efforts. Highlighting responsible energy development and practices, including reasonable environmental protections, will be another.

Our Vision

America is blessed with vast and diverse energy resources—far greater than any other nation—yet we find ourselves heavily dependent on foreign oil. To compound our energy challenges, U.S. demand for electricity is rising faster than supply, with potentially large cost increases and shortages looming.

Some believe that the rapid expansion of our renewable energy sectors in combination with aggressive energy efficiency programs is all we need to rescue us from the energy crisis. We are strong advocates for energy efficiency and all renewable. However, we do not favor such a limited energy solution, and encourage the full utilization of all our abundant domestic energy resources and technologies. Fossil fuels, renewables, nuclear, efficiency, and sensible conservation should all play a role. Why should we pick energy winners and losers? Reducing energy competition by restricting supply options, and deemphasizing some of our lowest cost energy sources, will result in higher energy prices and reduced economic growth and prosperity for all, in our opinion.

Through the aggressive development of our vast and diverse energy potential, America can create millions of jobs, decrease our budget and trade deficits, provide affordable energy to American families and businesses, and restore sustainable economic vitality, opportunity, and prosperity to our nation and our people. We are blessed with significant competitive advantages in energy. Highlighting these advantages will be one focus of this website.
