The God of Heavy Metal himself:
DIO 
Not exactly power metal, but inspired a lot of it.
Also not power, but close: Symphony X and Dream Theater
I also like Kamelot and Manowar, but Iced Earth for me, apart from some great songs, is quite boring.

OK, because I see that most of the people that posted know only the mainstream bands I'll suggest some must have US power metal albums:
Riot - Thundersteel
Jag Panzer - Ample Destruction
Savatage - Hall Of The Mountain King
Queensryche - EP
Fates Warning - No Exit
Heir Apparent - Graceful Inheritance
Lethal - Programmed
Vicious Rumors - Soldiers Of The Night
Helstar - A Distant Thunder
Fifth Angel - S/T
Armored Saint - Symbol Of Salvation
Crimson Glory - Transendence
Screamer - Target Earth
Hittman - S/T
Oliver Magnum - S/T
Sanctuary - Refuge Denied
As about new bands Kamelot (Eternity & Dominion era) Iced Earth (first 2 albums) Twisted Tower Dire, Cage, Steel Prophet, Defyance have made some great efforts of US power!

Oh yeah, for some reason I forgot Queensrÿche. For me Operation: Mindcrime is probably the greatest metal/rock album ever made.

Honestly, I woke up a bit sleepy-eyed, and was sure that this topic was about nuclear/wind energy as in industry and electricity... or about USA's involvement in political issues.

OUTWORLD. So great but not well known band. Their guitarist, Rusty Cooley is one of the fastest guitarplayers in the world. check out this band.
