PTF Slams Newsom’s China Visit While California Families Continue to Pay

Washington, D.C. - California Governor Gavin Newsom is in China today meeting with President Xi Jinping to discuss climate.

Biden Again Silent on Iran Oil Sanctions, Ramping Up American Energy to Help Our Allies

Washington, D.C. - While addressing the world from the Oval Office tonight, President Biden again failed to mention the billons of dollars the United States is allowing to flow to Iran. In his prepared remarks, the President noted Iran’s deadly role in supporting both Russia and Hamas, yet remained silent on taking real steps to cut Tehran’s money pipeline. Since taking office, the Biden Administration’s neglectful enforcement of oil sanctions has allowed Iran to collect billions on record exports.

In response to the President’s remarks, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future issued the following statement:

Biden Deals for Oil From Venezuela After Cutting Domestic Production Opportunities

Washington, D.C. - According to reports, the Biden Administration is working on a deal with the dictator of Venezuela to ease oil sanctions in exchange for assurances on elections. The news comes less than three weeks after Biden’s Interior Department announced they would hold the fewest offshore oil and gas lease sales in the history of the United States.

“The pathetic pattern of Joe Biden’s energy policy continues: attack American energy production while begging foreign powers to produce more oil,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. “Whether it’s turning a blind eye to Iran’s oil sanctions or making a deal with socialist dictators, Joe Biden has never meet a foreign barrel of oil he doesn’t like. By now, it should be abundantly clear that Joe Biden will always prefer Tehran over Texas and Caracas over Carlsbad.”

PTF Cheers Election of Jeff Landry as Governor of Louisiana

Washington, D.C. - Voters in Louisiana have elected pro-energy candidate Jeff Landry to be their next governor. Governor-elect Landry received enough support so that a run-off race will not be needed. In response, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future issued the following statement:

“Louisiana is a critical state if we are going to regain American energy independence and the voters there have sent a clear message in rejecting Joe Biden’s green agenda. We’re proud to congratulate Governor-elect Landry, who campaigned on strengthening Louisiana’s economy by supporting affordable and reliable energy. Hopefully, this victory for energy in Louisiana is the first of many because the 2024 election will be the most important in a generation and energy is on the ballot.”

BREAKING: President Biden Fails to Mention Iran, Oil Sanctions

Washington, D.C. - During remarks on the ongoing war in Israel, President Biden failed to mention Iran or a commitment to enforce their oil sanctions. Last year, Iran profited as they exported massive amounts of oil while the Biden Administration adopted a policy of lax enforcement.

“Energy security is national security and, if Joe Biden is serious about helping Israel, he’ll do all he can to cut off Iran’s money. The fact that Iran is making billions from their illegal oil operations while President Biden works to slow American energy production is an action that goes against his words. The solution is clear: Enforce Iran’s oil sanctions and unleash American energy to support our allies and our families.”
