Washington, D.C. - Ahead of their annual climate retreat, the United Nations is expected to issue a plan calling on western nations, including the United States, to dramatically reduce meat consumption. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization will publish their food systems road map during their meeting this week in Dubai. US Climate Czar John Kerry, along with other members of the Biden Administration, are expected to make the trip to the conference.
“It’s unclear which will come first: the UN taking away your hamburger or Joe Biden confiscating your gas stove so you can’t cook it,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “This is the epitome of the extreme climate agenda: John Kerry may want us to serve tofu next Thanksgiving, but America’s ranchers and families can choose for themselves without the help of the UN.”

Albuquerque – Despite days of strong opposition at public hearings, members of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's hand-picked Environmental Improvement Board voted to advance her electric vehicle mandates late Thursday. The California-style requirement forces 4 out every 10 new cars sent by out-of-state manufacturers to New Mexico be an EV starting as early as 2026, with escalation triggers to follow.
“This is nothing more than a blatant end around from Governor Lujan Grisham’s unelected puppets to circumvent the will of the people to implement a failing green agenda,” said Larry Behrens, Communications Director for Power The Future. “If New Mexicans want an electric vehicle today, they are free to buy one, Yet, because of their high price tag and unreliability, they make up less than 1 percent of cars in the state. New Mexicans are rejecting the Governor’s EVs, so she has no choice but to force them on us."

Massive New Jersey Wind Failure Should Serve As Warning

Washington, D.C. - In an announcement late Tuesday, Orsted, a global offshore wind developer, announced it is abandoning one of the largest wind projects in the country mere months after Garden State taxpayers were stuck with a $1 billion tab to keep the failing program afloat. Just last June, New Jersey lawmakers narrowly approved a measure allowing the wind manufacturer to keep tax credits it would have otherwise had to return to ratepayers.
“When green dreams run into hard reality, the results are never pretty,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “Wind power receives billions in taxpayer support, yet we see project after project failing. In this case, it’s the people of New Jersey left holding the bag. Governor Murphy can rage all he wants about getting back money from the company for coffers in Trenton, but the truth is the green agenda pushed by him and other militant leftists that made today happen. That’s cold comfort to Garden State families staring down a long cold winter with soaring energy costs.”

Washington, D.C. - According to a recent exclusive report, President Biden’s Climate Czar held secret meetings with an electric vehicle manufacturer that receives millions in taxpayer incentives. The meetings came to light after a review of White House visitor logs and show that John Podesta met with company leaders and lobbyists, all of which declined to comment on the discussions at the meeting. The reports arrive at the same time six governors are calling on President Biden to bail out offshore wind projects. In August 2022, President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act, which included $369 billion for “clean energy,” yet recently one inspector general warned the Biden Administration is not properly managing the funds.
