Power the Future

Washington, D.C. —  As energy leaders in the Trump Administration reportedly talk today with oil and gas CEOs to discuss strategies for lowering gas prices and advancing American energy production, Power The Future is calling for more scrutiny into the foreign funding connections to environmental groups. According to their own numbers, green groups have filed more than 600 lawsuits against the Administration in a clear attempt to derail the American Energy Dominance agenda. These legal actions, frequently backed by networks involving substantial overseas billionaire support such as Swiss philanthropist Hansjörg Wyss, systematically target critical energy initiatives.

Albuquerque – Today, the Lujan Grisham administration announced they will be raising a new environmental fee for the first time in decades. The state Environment Department relied on the unelected Environmental Improvement Board to hand down the new fee. See the new fee document below.

In response, Larry Behrens, Communications Director for Power The Future, issued the following statement:

Washington, D.C. —  Today, Power The Future applauded President Trump's new Ratepayer Protection Pledge (RPP) which is an agreement with leading American AI and technology companies to ensure the massive energy demand from new data centers does not drive up electricity bills for families. Under the pledge, companies building or expanding data centers will secure the power required for their operations and pay the full cost of generation and grid infrastructure needed to support them. This partnership will help ensure expenses are not passed on to residential ratepayers while strengthening the grid and supporting long-term affordability. 

Washington, D.C. — California Governor Gavin Newsom today tried to blame President Donald Trump for gas prices in his state, attributing the increases to strikes on Iran. Yet, Newsom's comments come less than a year after he increased the state gas tax where families now pay a nation-leading 70 cents per gallon in taxes alone.

"Governor Newsom pointing fingers at President Trump for California's gas woes is rich, considering he's the guy whose green crusade has turned the Golden State into a refinery graveyard," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. "While he's busy closing facilities and forcing families to foot the bill for bizarre Bahamas oil detours, prices are skyrocketing on his watch. It's time for Newsom to drop the partisan spin and own his failed policies that are squeezing every last cent from hardworking Californians."

Washington, D.C. — Following American airstrikes targeting the regime in Iran, Power The Future Founder and Executive Director Daniel Turner issued the following statement:

"Iran's regime relies on illegal oil revenues to fund its military ambitions and terrorist operations around the world, which underscores the importance of American energy dominance achieved under the policies of the Trump Administration. American families are better shielded from potential disruptions to global oil markets because of our record domestic oil and natural gas production. Our energy workers continue to provide the buffer against the actions of evil regimes like Iran's, and against the worst impacts of geopolitical instability."

Key Energy Facts on Iran:

Washington, D.C. — As President Donald Trump prepares to address the nation tonight, the State of the Union for American energy is strong. In the past year, the United States reached record oil production levels, lowered gas prices, and rolled back strangling regulations. 

"We are better off economically, stronger in our national security, and less dependent on our adversaries — and all it took was a new president," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future."Just over one year ago, American energy was shackled by radical regulations, hostile bureaucrats, and an administration determined to appease climate activists instead of working families. In contrast, President Trump has unleashed record production, restored regulatory sanity, and reasserted American energy leadership on the world stage. Energy dominance isn't just a slogan: it's policy, production, and prosperity."

Announcement Takes Place Exactly Two Weeks After PTF's Letter Raising Questions About the Program

Washington, D.C. — Power The Future applauds the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for revamping Joe Biden's failed electric school bus program. In an announcement today, the EPA said it wants to hear from the public on the best way forward for the program to ensure it delivers safe, affordable, and reliable transportation to the nation's schoolchildren. During an audit, inspectors found the Biden EPA "did not monitor bus deployment status and recipient use of over $836 million of 2022 Clean School Bus" program.  EPA's decision arrives exactly two weeks after Power The Future sent a letter requesting a deeper look at the electric bus program.

Washington, D.C. — According to a report in the New York Post, Gavin Newsom's California is shipping oil from the Bahamas using a regulatory loophole after years of aggressive green mandates helped shutter in-state refinery capacity. The report notes that more than 40 percent of the gasoline imported into California last November was routed through the Caribbean. This forces shipments to travel thousands of miles before being sold to consumers in a state that already suffers from the highest gasoline prices in the nation.
