Washington, D.C. — Today, Power The Future (PTF) released its list of five energy priorities for the remaining weeks of the 119th Congress. The list urges lawmakers to act to end climate lawsuits, protect permitted pipelines from political cancellation and repeal the natural gas tax for good.

"This Congress has a few weeks left and it needs every one of them, because if lawmakers go home without finishing the job, they're leaving America's energy policy to the Green New Deal zealots," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "The next Congress will work overtime to turn taxpayer dollars into a never-ending cash flow of failure toward green projects. Lawmakers need to finish the job to protect American energy dominance."

Power The Future's priorities include:

  • Pass the Stop Climate Shakedowns Act (H.R. 8330 / S. 4340). Congress, not activist lawyers and blue-state judges, should set America's energy policy. The bill ends climate lawsuits and state "climate superfund" laws that could cost families up to $2,111 a year.

  • Protect permitted energy projects, including the Alaska pipeline. Once a privately funded energy project earns its federal permits, no future president should be able to cancel it for political points. Biden killed the roughly $8 billion Keystone XL with one signature, and the $44.5–54.5 billion Alaska LNG project must not be next.

  • Pass legislation to require judges who attend trainings paid for by advocacy groups to disclose who ran them and who funded them. Today that is only an internal judiciary policy, not law. The Climate Judiciary Project trained judges who hear climate cases, and the public deserves to know who was behind it.

  • Repeal the natural gas tax for good (S. 143 / H.R. 313). Congress killed Biden's natural gas tax rule, but the law behind it is still on the books for a future EPA to revive. Repealing it now means families never pay it.

  • Claw back unspent green grants. Taxpayers paid for Biden-era green programs that went largely unmonitored, including more than $836 million in Clean School Bus funds. Congress should take back what hasn't been spent before a new majority sends it out the door.
