PTF Calls For Congressional Investigation into Controversial Executive Orders
Washington, D.C. - A bombshell report raises new and serious concerns about the transparency and accountability of then-President Joe Biden’s sweeping climate policies during his time in office. The report, utilizing research from the watchdog group Power The Future, uncovers a slew of major executive actions reshaping America’s energy landscape, but were never publicly addressed by President Biden, meaning they could have been implemented without Biden’s involvement or even knowledge.
“These foundational shifts in American energy policy were never addressed by the man whose stroke of the pen made them possible,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. “Americans deserve to know which unelected staffers or radical unnamed activists implemented sweeping change through an autopen. The Biden energy agenda destroyed livelihoods of energy workers and fueled the record-high inflation that broke the budgets of millions of Americans. The question is simple, and deserves an immediate answer: what did Joe Biden know, and when did he know it?”
Power The Future identified eight concerning executive orders and presidential actions that were not addressed by Biden publicly:
• Offshore Drilling Ban: Pulled over 625 million acres of the Outer Continental Shelf out of future oil and gas leasing.
• EO 14057: Committed the entire federal government to net-zero emissions by 2050 and required 100% carbon-free electricity by 2030—one of the most expansive decarbonization orders in history.
• Defense Production Act Invocation: Used Cold War-era emergency powers to push solar panels and heat pumps.
• Arctic Drilling Ban: Prohibited oil and gas leasing in sensitive areas of the Arctic. Notably timed just after approval of the Willow Project.
• AI Data Centers Memo: Gave the Departments of Defense and Energy the green light to lease public land for AI data centers—provided they’re powered by “clean energy.”
• EO 14143: In the last days of the administration, this decree made AmeriCorps alumni eligible for preferential federal hiring, potentially reshaping the makeup of the federal workforce without public debate and allowing the eco-left to insert themselves into permanent federal jobs.
• EO 14027: Created a “Climate Change Support Office” buried in bureaucracy, giving climate staffers yet another taxpayer-funded silo of influence.
• EO 14030: Ordered all federal agencies to assess “climate-related financial risk,” laying the groundwork for ESG-style investing mandates across the government.
Power The Future is calling for congressional oversight and a full investigation into the authorship and intent behind these executive actions.
