Congressman Nick Langworthy Honored as September Energy Champion for Defying Green Overreach
Congressman Nick Langworthy (R-NY) has been honored as Power The Future’s September 2025 Energy Champion for his principled stand in defense of affordable, reliable energy. In a time when political rhetoric often overshadows practical solutions, Langworthy remains focused on the realities facing everyday Americans—especially those in New York, where rising energy costs have strained household budgets and weakened community resilience.
He has consistently challenged Governor Kathy Hochul’s aggressive green policies, which have driven electricity and heating costs to record levels across the state. While some leaders speak in abstract terms about “climate responsibility,” Langworthy highlights the human cost: families choosing between turning on the heat and buying groceries, seniors struggling to afford basic comfort, and small businesses forced to close because they cannot pay their utility bills.
What sets Langworthy apart is his commitment to facts over ideology. He does not dismiss environmental concerns, but he refuses to let them override practical needs. His advocacy centers on American natural gas as a bridge to a more secure energy future—cleaner than coal, more reliable than intermittent renewables, and essential for keeping homes warm and industries running. This is not a rejection of progress; it is a call for responsible, sustainable development rooted in American strength and self-reliance.
Langworthy understands that energy is not just a technical issue—it is a moral one. When families are left in the cold because of policy decisions made in distant capitals, something has gone wrong. He calls out the disconnect between Albany elites, who often live in insulated comfort, and the working people who bear the burden of their ambitions. His message is simple: real leadership means protecting the most vulnerable, not advancing agendas that serve only a few.
While many politicians chase attention with performative gestures—like signing symbolic climate declarations—Langworthy works quietly but persistently behind the scenes to block harmful legislation, support infrastructure projects, and ensure that energy decisions are made with the public good in mind. He defends the right of American families to choose how they power their lives, whether through natural gas, electricity, or other proven sources. This is not resistance to change; it is resistance to reckless change.
His leadership reflects a deeper truth: energy security is national security. When a nation depends on unstable foreign sources or fragile, weather-dependent systems, it becomes vulnerable to disruption, inflation, and loss of sovereignty. By strengthening domestic production and modernizing our grid with proven technologies, we build resilience and economic stability.
Langworthy’s work is not about opposing all environmental efforts. It is about ensuring those efforts do not come at the cost of fairness, affordability, or freedom. He reminds us that progress should not be measured by how much we restrict, but by how much we empower—empowering workers, families, and communities to thrive.
In a political climate where ideology often overrides common sense, Congressman Langworthy stands as a steady voice for reason, responsibility, and the dignity of hardworking Americans. His recognition as Energy Champion is not just a personal honor—it is a signal that there is still a strong public appetite for leadership that puts people first, policies second, and national well-being above political posturing.
As we face the challenges of the coming years, we need more leaders like him—men and women who understand that true strength lies not in rejecting change, but in guiding it with wisdom, integrity, and a deep commitment to the common good.
