"All of the Above" energy strategy - Where does it come from?

Oil & Gas industry?

I don’t know who coined the term “All of the Above” to include oil and natural gas in the energy strategy, but I find a reference to “All of the Above” in this 2014 White House communications - https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/blog/2014/05/29/new-report-all-above-energy-strategy-Path-sustainable-economic-growth

That White House blog quotes President Obama, “We can’t have an energy strategy for the last century that traps us in the past. We need an energy strategy for the future – an all-of-the-above strategy for the 21st century that develops every source of American-made energy.” – President Barack Obama, March 15, 2012

This website https://ballotpedia.org/All-of-the-above_energy_policy shows that the term “all of the above” may have been coined by Representative Benjamin A. Gilman from New York in 2000.

This January 2014 Earthjustice blog post refers to a letter to President Obama from Earthjustice’s then CEO stating ““all of the above” is no strategy at all. It doesn’t help us make the critical choices we now face, and it doesn’t guide the pollution reductions that the president agrees we need in order to control climate change and reduce its life disrupting costs — disastrous storms, heat waves, forest fires, rising sea levels, floods and crippling droughts.”

This June 2021 Environmental Working Group EWG blog states, ““All of the above” apparently originated with Big Oil lobbyists at the American Petroleum Institute more than 20 years ago, when the nascent renewable energy industry began to challenge coal and oil.”

In February 2023, South Dakota Senator John Thune writes, “An all-of-the-above energy policy embraces the full spectrum of available resources: clean sources like wind, solar, hydropower, biofuels, and nuclear, as well as oil, natural gas, and clean coal.”

In March 2023, in testimony before the US House of Representatives, Oliver McPherson-Smith testified that “Embracing an “All of the Above” energy policy—which supports greater domestic production of fossil fuels, renewable and nuclear energy, and critical mineral mining—would help to lower consumer costs and protect the nation from foreign energy coercion.”

In May 2023, Dan Newhouse, Congressman from Central Washington wrote a blog stating that “The idea of “all-of-the-above” energy is simple: we utilize all available sources of energy, both renewable and nonrenewable, to ensure our nation has a stable, secure, and reliable energy supply. This means not only investing in renewable energy technologies like wind and solar power but also developing our oil, natural gas, and coal resources responsibly.”

The latest March 2024 Politico article suggests that the current Biden administration's “all of the above” energy policy is causing headaches.

I still don’t know where does this “All of the Above” energy strategy come from, even though it looks like it came from the oil and gas industry. My problem is, in this all of the above strategy, there is no mention of demand-side management or demand response.
