Washington, D.C. - In an internal memo obtained by Fox News, the White House National Security Council is prohibiting senior members of the Biden Administration from traveling to energy conferences that promote coal, oil or natural gas. According to reports, the White House demands were in place since November 2021 with updates to the policy provided as recently as last month. During this time, senior administration officials have utilized traditional fuels to travel on hundreds of trips.

Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future released the following statement in response to the White House demands:

“We need no further evidence that the Biden Administration has declared war on American Energy then this egregious memo which treats the fossil fuel industry like an enemy.  While this administration pursues accords with Iran and begs Venezuela for oil, the industry which powers our entire economy is treated like a pariah.”

“Despite hundreds of billions in subsidies and government mandates, the green industry cannot even power a photo op for Secretary Granholm without fossil fuels coming to the rescue.  In a few short weeks, hundreds of Biden Administration officials will fly to Dubai for yet another climate summit and they will have no problem justifying the enormous carbon footprint. I call upon them to at least be intellectually consistent and honest: if DOE officials are prohibited from attending events with fossil fuels, then they should be prohibited from using fossil fuels to attend their climate conferences.”

“All of us are paying more for everything while at the same time Biden and his senior officials have no problem jetting all over the world to elitist green junkets. The fact the Biden Administration tried to hide this memo from working families proves they know their Green New Deal agenda is nothing but a colossal failure.”
