Big Oil May Not Like It—But a $150 Trillion U.S. Asset Could Soon Tip the Scales, Says Former CIA Advisor Jim Rickards

Thanks to a Supreme Court Ruling and Trump’s New Energy Orders, America’s Most Valuable Resource May Finally Be Activated

/EIN News/ -- WASHINGTON, May 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gas prices may be lower than they were a year ago, but for millions of Americans, the cost of fueling up is still a burden.

Former CIA advisor Jim Rickards believes that could soon change — not because of foreign negotiations or corporate generosity, but because of something much closer to home.

“We could see gas at $2 a gallon, maybe even $1,” Rickards says. “And for once, it won’t be Big Oil calling the shots.”

Rickards says the real driver behind this shift is a long-ignored $150 trillion resource — one that’s been quietly controlled by the U.S. government, and only now is being brought back into the national spotlight.

THE LAW HAS SHIFTED — AND SO HAS THE BALANCE OF POWER

It all stems from the Supreme Court’s 2024 decision to strike down the Chevron Doctrine, which for decades had allowed federal agencies to set their own rules on land use and resource management.

“This decision changes everything,” Rickards explains. “Suddenly, courts and Congress—not bureaucrats—can unlock what’s been sitting under our feet for a century.”

With Trump back in office and signing new executive orders aimed at resource development and energy independence, Rickards believes this could be the moment when America’s dormant reserves finally come into play.

FROM CORPORATE CONTROL TO CITIZEN RELIEF

The reserves in question span copper, lithium, silver, rare earth elements, and other strategic materials. They’ve long been off-limits due to regulatory roadblocks.

“This isn’t just about minerals,” Rickards says. “It’s about taking control of our energy future — and putting money back in the pockets of ordinary Americans.”

A PRIVATE BRIEFING NOW AVAILABLE

Rickards believes this moment represents a rare realignment of economic power. And for those who want to understand what’s really happening — and what it could mean for prices, industries, and markets — he’s released a private briefing that explains everything.

“We’ve been told for decades there’s nothing we can do about prices,” he says. “That was never true. And now, the evidence is finally surfacing.”
