The
Rebuild

Rebuild the grid. Rebuild the balance sheet. Rebuild Main Street.

A 25-year plan to rebuild the electric grid — making the United States energy independent, cutting families’ utility costs, rebuilding household savings, and paying down the national debt. Not left. Not right. Forward.

The idea

One project. Three American wins.

This year a war half a world away cost American families $132 billion at the pump. For less than one decade of those shocks, we can build grid power that no foreign strait, cartel, or crisis can ever touch — and the math pays us back.

Independence

2050
American energy independence

Every kilowatt made on American soil by American workers. Solar from the Sunbelt, wind from the Plains, heat from the rock under our feet — carried everywhere on a new interstate for electrons.

Paydown

$9.4T
Deficit reduction over 25 years

82% private capital. A small, disciplined federal share — fully offset. Even the cautious case improves the deficit by $177 billion a year. Fiscal responsibility you can measure.

Jobs

2M+
Sustained American jobs

Welders, electricians, drillers, linemen, builders. Work in every county — retrofits and power you can't offshore. More jobs per dollar than any energy program in history.

Your hand on the lever

Set the nation’s build speed.

America added a record ~53 gigawatts of power in 2024. Drag the throttle and watch what the pace of the build does to the year we’re free, the debt we retire, and the jobs we create. This is the whole debate in one lever.

What your household keeps

Your rebuild starts at your kitchen table.

The national numbers are trillions. Yours are right here. Tell us about your household, flip the levers you’d actually pull, and watch your budget change — including your monthly dividend check.

Your family’s assets at 65 — the way out of asset poverty

Half of American families couldn’t cover three months of expenses if a paycheck stopped. These savings, invested, are how a working family goes from getting by to owning something — a cushion, a down payment, an inheritance.

Estimates for a typical household at today’s prices (July 2026: $3.85/gal gasoline, 17.5¢/kWh electricity — both elevated by the Gulf disruption). Your utility-bill entry already reflects your current rates. “After the build” assumes electricity ~15% lower in real terms and shielded from fossil price shocks; the do-nothing path assumes a conservative +25% real escalation by 2040 (this spring alone saw +31% in twenty weeks). Dividend and fee reflect the Power Dividend Act central case; 7% is a long-run average return, not a guarantee. Full methodology in the open model.

Why is gas $3.85 today?

Because a strait half a world away had a bad spring. Gasoline is priced by a world market that spikes with every crisis — power made on American soil doesn’t. That volatility is the whole case for independence.

Your monthly energy bill, three futures

TodayAfter the buildYou keep
Driving$154$45+$109
Home heating, cooling & power$220$149+$71
Monthly dividend check+$85 to you+$85
Total$374$109+$265/mo

And the third future — doing nothing: the same fossil math that spiked prices 31% this spring keeps compounding. On today’s path your $374/mo trends toward $468/mo by 2040 — and stays hostage to every crisis in every strait. Standing still isn’t free. It’s $358/mo you never see again.

Follow your money — today

Your numbers, from the calculator above. Today, $374 a month leaves your house and doesn’t come back. After the build, the same river turns around: $180 stays in your savings, $85 arrives as your dividend check, and $4 pays the national debt down.

The choice

Imagine an extra
$265 a month.

Money that doesn’t burn up in a tank or vanish into a bill that spikes every time there’s trouble half a world away. Money to invest. To send your child to college. To retire in comfort — without being afraid of running out. By 65, that’s $151,817 your family owns.

Or do nothing — and keep paying the do-nothing tax, forever, to whoever controls the next strait.

The Rebuild is the common-sense path to turning that into reality.

Seven laws. One generation.

The Rebuild Plan

2027

The Power Dividend Act

A border-adjusted fee on imported and domestic carbon, with a monthly dividend check to every household. Families come out ahead; the deficit comes down; the market does the rest.

2027

End Energy Welfare Act

Phase out century-old tax loopholes for fuels that no longer need training wheels — gradually, over seven years, with certainty for industry.

2028

The Interstate Power Act

A national high-voltage backbone, permitted like Eisenhower's highways: one federal corridor process, built where the wind blows and the sun shines, delivering everywhere.

2028

Build American Energy Credits

Technology-neutral credits that automatically decline as costs fall and sunset themselves. Made-in-America content rules. No open-ended subsidies — a launch ramp, not a crutch.

2029

The Fair Share & Solvency Act

Close the stepped-up basis loophole, a minimum tax on billionaire gains, and lift the Social Security wage cap — strengthening the program for our kids without cutting a single earned benefit.

2030

The Homefront Efficiency Act

Passive-house building codes, heat pumps, and deep retrofits — the most jobs per dollar in the entire program, in every ZIP code in America.

2032

The Peace Dividend Review

As tankers stop needing escorts and straits stop mattering, a phased reallocation of the oil-security mission — savings verified by independent audit before a dollar moves.
