Power the Future

Washington, D.C. - A North Dakota jury has ruled the eco-left group Greenpeace must pay over $660 million in damages for defamation and other claims from their protests surrounding the Dakota Access pipeline. In response, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future issued the following statement:

“For decades, green groups shielded themselves behind their non-profit status and climate change hysteria to push an agenda which has punished American energy workers and made our nation poorer and weaker. The American people are sick and tired of radical groups - be they climate, race, gender, or any other cause- wreaking havoc on our way of life. They are fighting back, and this jury verdict is beginning the process of restoring truth and justice to our public square”. 

Washington, D.C. - In a letter sent to the Department of Justice (DOJ) today, Power The Future (PTF) is calling for an investigation into whether major energy policy decisions under the Biden Administration were issued without the former president’s knowledge or approval. PTF formally requests the DOJ examine which executive actions, particularly the liquefied natural gas (LNG) export pause, were authorized by former President Biden or were merely enacted by unelected officials using an “autopen.”

Washington, D.C. - Power The Future today released a new report examining two energy bills that are being considered by the Ohio legislature, S.B. 2 and H.B. 15, that will, as currently drafted, make it harder to reliably and affordably meet growing energy demand in the state, support economic growth, and advance President Trump’s American energy agenda. As the report notes:

“While the legislation’s sponsors claim their intent is to modernize Ohio’s energy regulatory framework and adhere to free-market principles, enactment would introduce significant risks that could destabilize the electrical system underpinning the state’s economic success. Worse, it would serve to benefit solar and wind projects with no actual business plan of how to deliver electricity to consumers, heavily subsidized by Biden-era tax credits and incentives, at the expense of Ohio natural gas-fired generation.”

Washington, D.C. - Drivers hitting the road for Spring Break may be feeling lucky this St. Patrick’s Day as the national average for a gallon of gas is at it’s lowest in 4 years. According to AAA, the national average for gasoline is $3.078 per gallon which is more than 38 cents cheaper than 2024. The 11 percent drop in the cost of regular gasoline isn’t the only good news as the cost of diesel fuel is also down over 11 percent during the same time meaning the cost to transport goods is also falling.

“Energy powers everything in America including our vacations, and thankfully the cost of gas this Spring Break is at the lowest in years because President Trump puts our power first,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “As millions hit the road this Spring Break, they’re paying the lowest prices in four years without a bailout from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. As Americans see lower prices at the pump, it might not be long before we see ‘I did that’ stickers featuring President Trump.”

Albuquerque – Today, former Biden Interior Secretary Deb Haaland is celebrating record fundraising for her gubernatorial campaign which now boasts more than $2 million in its coffers. This record windfall arrives after the Biden administration spent a record $370 billion on so-called green investments, billions of which have been found to be controversial and are now being pulled back. While Haaland’s campaign has issued a press release on her cash haul, there is no information to be found on the Secretary of State website’s to verify exactly who is donating to her campaign.

Washington, D.C. - During his speech to Congress tonight, President Trump highlighted the continued importance of establishing American energy dominance. Despite being in office for less than two months, President Trump has boldly implemented many of the recommendations in Power The Future’s Energy Policy Roadmap for 2025.

”Let’s be clear: What President Trump has accomplished for American energy in less than two months would take any other leader a year,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “The embarrassing efforts by some to ignore or disrupt America’s energy agenda is just more proof the eco-left has learned nothing since November. Working families want affordable, reliable, American-made energy and those standing in the way of President Trump’s efforts need to re-think their priorities.”

Washington, D.C. - Both chambers of Congress passed separate measures to repeal Joe Biden’s Natural Gas Tax late Wednesday. The resolutions disapproved of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule put in place to increase to cost of natural gas production as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act. The measure to repeal the tax passed the House with a bipartisan vote of 220 to 206, while a companion effort passed in the Senate 52-47.

”The repeal of Biden’s Natural Gas Tax is a major victory for American families, businesses, and energy dominance,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “Congress is sending a clear message that they reject the eco-left’s war on American energy and stand with our working families. Thankfully, America’s energy future will not be dictated by ideologically-driven energy cost increases that hurt families and drive up everyday prices. Americans voted for lower bills and higher production and we applaud Congress for delivering.”

Albuquerque – Despite the fact many New Mexico families are still struggling with high energy prices, the state’s entire Congressional delegation voted to keep Joe Biden’s Natural Gas Tax in place today. Thankfully, their efforts were in vain as both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives voted to repeal the tax. In the House, Representatives Vasquez, Stansbury, and Leger Fernandez all voted against the repeal and hours later Senators Heinrich and Lujan joined them.
