Who is BEN?

We’re glad you asked.

The future of energy is the future of America.

And we believe the future is bright. We are young people who want America to stay strong and free. So we’re working to educate and inspire our future leaders and influencers.

The BEN Creed

WE BELIEVE

Energy independence is essential for American independence.

Prosperity and quality of life for all Americans is the most important factor when making energy decisions.

Americans should be free to use the energy sources that work best and cost the least.

We can protect our environment by responsibly using all forms of energy.

We should use our technology and innovation to further clean up energy sources that are already the most affordable and reliable.

There is no reason to fear an energy crisis in America if we embrace all the energy that is available to us.

We should let the American energy industry thrive without political agendas and government interference.

Our future is bright if we make smart energy decisions.

BEN was founded

by people who care about American freedom and prosperity. In today’s world, these great benefits heavily depend on access to affordable, abundant and reliable energy for everyone. Without enough energy our society quite literally crumbles. And yet today many people needlessly live under the burden of high energy costs.

Young People Today

are misinformed about energy production and consumption. The truth is often obscured by politics and false narratives. As a result, our younger generation is feeling more despair and less hope for the future.

We want our young people to know that there’s good reason for optimism. There is no reason to fear for our energy future. In America we have the answer right here under feet.

And that’s why

we’re working to educate young people on the realities of energy production so they can separate fact from fiction and make smart choices. We promote this education freely through social media, online libraries, live events and partnerships with national student organizations.

BEN Ambassadors

We need more young people to represent BEN across the country.

Throughout the year we have many opportunities to appear at events, in the media and on the social platforms of our friends and collaborators.

If you’re a student in high school or college and you believe that energy literacy is important to the future of our society, then we can put you on the playing field.

We decided that young people are the best ones to advise us on how to reach young people. So we recruited this group of smart, motivated students to help us chart the course.
