Power the Future

Washington, D.C. - Today, the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee announced that the New Georgia Project, a scandal-plagued organization founded by Stacey Abrams, is dissolving following scrutiny from Congress and Power The Future. Environmental groups with ties to Abrams were awarded $2 billion during the Biden Administration with questions swirling about the legality of their operations. The dissolution ends years of operation for the group after Power The Future Founder and Executive Director testified before Congress earlier this year.

"This was a green grift pure and simple," said Mr. Turner. "For too long, Stacey Abrams and others like her used organizations like this to game the system to enrich their political political power under the guise of the green movement. We are grateful to Chairman Comer and Chairman Smith for holding them to account and getting meaningful results."

Washington, D.C. - Power The Future welcomes President Trump's nomination of former Congressman Steve Pearce to head the Bureau of Land Management (BLM.) Pearce's deep roots in New Mexico—one of America's most critical energy regions—make him uniquely qualified to oversee the federal lands that power our economy. His nomination marks a strong step toward restoring sensible energy policy after years of radical mismanagement under President Biden's BLM director, who was tied to tree-spiking eco-sabotage in the 1980s.

Washington, D.C. - Power The Future today praised President Donald Trump's decision not to send any high-level officials to the United Nations' COP30 conference in Brazil. Since the beginning, climate conferences have served as global junkets for bureaucrats to fly halfway around the world to lecture Americans on their carbon footprint. Last year's COP29 trip sent about 400 Biden-era federal employees oversees at a conservative cost of $6-7 million while producing nothing for working families.

"President Trump is absolutely right to end the taxpayer-funded hypocrisy that defines these bloated climate retreats," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "It will be fascinating to see how many leftists crying over their government shutdown somehow find their way into this elitist party. Thanks to President Trump, instead of wasting millions on bureaucrats sipping cocktails in Brazil, our tax dollars can stay home and help build American Energy Dominance." 

Albuquerque – As the federal government shutdown continues to impact New Mexico's families, especially the more than one in five SNAP recipients, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is once again packing her bags for another international climate junket. The Governor will be headed to Brazil this year, after attending previous climate conferences in Egypt, Scotland, and Dubai just to name a few.

"Governor Lujan Grisham's hypocrisy continues to be staggering, but not at all surprising," said Larry Behrens, Communications Director for Power The Future. "She pretends to care about families impacted by the shutdown, but instead of staying home to stand with them, she's boarding another free flight to lecture us. Her phoniness is clear: she takes credit for using oil and gas dollars to boost SNAP, then jets off to scheme about ways to kill the industry."

PTF Condemns Bill Gates' Climate Flip-Flop: "The Arsonist Is Now Running From the Fire"

Washington, D.C. - After years of warning that climate change threatened humanity, Bill Gates now insists it "will not lead to humanity's demise." His latest stance uncovered by the New York Times marks a dramatic reversal from the same billionaire who championed the costly green policies that helped drive up energy prices and burden working families. Gates' sudden change of tone isn't about new science — it's about avoiding accountability for the consequences of the agenda he helped fund.

"Bill Gates is trying to flee the blaze he helped ignite," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. "There's no new science, no new revelation — only a billionaire trying to rewrite his role in the destruction he financed. Gates knows his green crusade has crushed working families with unaffordable energy costs, but now that the political winds have shifted, he wants to act like the voice of reason. The American people won't forget who helped light the fire in the first place."

Washington, D.C. - The national average for a gallon of gasoline in the U.S. is now below $3 for the first time in years. At the same time, American oil production has surged to more than 13.6 million barrels per day setting a new record.

"Once again, we're seeing the Trump Effect at work and the results are encouraging and prove what happens when leaders actually believe in American energy along with the workers who make it possible," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "This is a victory for every working family that depends on affordable energy to get to work, put food on the table or heat their homes this winter—and a reminder that when American power thrives, our entire nation wins."

Washington, D.C. - Power The Future (PTF) today announced its opposition to the proposed $85 billion merger between Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern railroads. In a letter to the Surface Transportation Board, PTF warned that the consolidation would hurt competition, raise costs for American energy producers, and undermine the goal of American Energy Dominance. 

"More competition means lower prices—period. Every American understands when a few big players control the market, consumers are stuck paying the price," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "At a time when families are working to recover from years of record energy costs, we can't afford a merger that could drive up prices and weaken the supply chain. Coal, oil, and natural gas all utilize rail transportation to power our nation and limiting options for producers isn't the answer."

Washington, D.C. - According to media reports, the Trump Administration is considering continuing the rollback of Biden-era green energy programs by announcing plans to cut off an additional $12 billion in taxpayer support. The cuts reportedly include funding for electric vehicle manufacturing and other green initiatives that relied heavily on taxpayer dollars.
