PTF Applauds Congressman Roy's Push to Eliminate Green New Scam
Washington, D.C. - Power The Future commends Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) for his continued efforts to stand against spending more than $750 billion in “Green New Scam” giveaways. As Rep. Roy correctly points out, President Trump campaigned on ending the Biden-era green handouts and the American people gave leaders a mandate to do so. Currently, most of the taxpayer-funded green handouts don’t expire for years, but reducing their availability can lead to immediate taxpayer savings:
Washington, D.C. - Power The Future is calling for an immediate investigation into the national security risks posed by Chinese-manufactured solar inverters and batteries following alarming revelations of hidden communication devices within these systems. According to reports, these components have been found to contain undocumented cellular radios capable of bypassing firewalls and potentially allowing remote manipulation of the power grid.
"This isn't just a technical glitch—it's possibly a direct threat to our nation's energy security," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. "The green movement's relentless push forced dependence on Chinese-made solar technology, effectively handing over the keys of our power grid to a foreign adversary while the Biden administration spent billions of our dollars one these products. We must act decisively to safeguard our grid from foreign interference and ensure that America's energy future is secure and self-reliant because energy independence is non-negotiable."
Washington, D.C. - Power The Future today released a foundational white paper, Rocket Fuel for America’s AI Moonshot, detailing how America’s energy policy will determine the outcome of the 21st-century race to artificial general intelligence (AGI.) Comparing the AI race to the Space Race, the report warns that misguided green energy mandates risk ceding critical ground in the emerging AI arms race. The paper outlines immediate steps—such as accelerating permitting for natural gas infrastructure and recommissioning shuttered coal plants—that are essential for providing the baseload power AGI will demand.
“Artificial intelligence will be the defining global competition of the next generation and abundant energy is the fuel it requires,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. “We cannot afford to fight this battle with unreliable energy while our adversaries bulldoze through red tape and power their AI industries with coal and gas. America has the energy resources and the know-how—we need the will to unleash both.”
Among the paper’s key findings:
PTF Analysis Shows Sanders' Travel Emitted More CO₂ Than an Average American Produces in Five Years
Washington, D.C. - While U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders crisscrossed the country this spring to denounce the excesses of the wealthy and rail against climate change, a shocking report sheds new light on one of the most carbon-intensive luxuries available: private jets. Across the 16-city "Fighting Oligarchy" tour, Sanders' private jet travel emitted more than 60.7 metric tonnes of CO₂ which is the equivalent of driving a gas-powered SUV 150,000 miles. That’s more carbon than the average American produces in five years and 44 times more CO₂ per leg than flying commercial.
"Bernie Sanders has no problem demanding that Americans make sacrifices in the name of climate change, but when it comes to his own comfort, he would rather torch jet fuel at 30,000 feet than wait in line like the rest of us." said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "His hypocrisy isn’t just outrageously brazen—it’s exhaustingly predictable."
Washington, D.C. - A group of Democratic Attorneys General, led by New York’s Letitia James, have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for pausing federal approvals for wind energy projects. Their legal action comes despite the fact that taxpayers could be on the hook for hundreds of millions of dollars in wind-related infrastructure in New York alone. Yet for all the investment, electricity prices in the state continue to rise, including a recently proposed an 11.4% rate hike, proving that the promise of cheaper energy from wind is nowhere in sight.
Albuquerque – Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is continuing her lavish spending with questionable accountability through her "contingency fund." According to an investigative report, utilizing documents uncovered by Power The Future, Governor Lujan Grisham spent over $96,000 on items such as fine dining, alcohol, and to pay Santa Fe’s reusable shopping bag fee. This spending occurred after her contingency fund was placed in the state budget using the title of “other” in order to hide it.
Washington, D.C. - The recent decision by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to increase oil production by over 400,000 barrels per day is a blatant attempt to manipulate the market against American energy workers. The actions of the foreign oil regime underscore exactly why the United States should never depend on other nations for something so critical as energy.
Full-Page Ad Celebrates Biggest Energy Accomplishments
Washington, D.C. - Today, Power The Future launched a full-page ad in the Washington Times highlighting President Trump’s unprecedented energy accomplishments during his first 100 days back in office. Recognizing that energy is the foundation for our economy and that the previous administration weakened America’s energy industry, President Trump declared an emergency on his first day in office. These efforts not only reversed previous failed decisions, but also charted a new path for American power.
