Albuquerque – On the same day that Yvette Herrell stands alongside House Speaker Kevin McCarthy at her announcement rally, Power The Future Communications Director Larry Behrens released the following statement slamming Congressman Gabe Vasquez for his vote against H.R. 1, the “Lower Energy Costs Act:”
“New Mexico’s 2nd Congressional District is home to one of the most productive energy areas in the world and deserves better than a member of Congress who works overtime to destroy the industry that provides so much. As if his support for the Green New Deal wasn’t bad enough, Congressman Vasquez had the opportunity to vote for lower energy costs and instead stood with liberal leaders in Washington, proving he can delete his tweets but he can’t delete his actions that hurt our families.”

Albuquerque – Exactly one week after receiving bipartisan support in passing the House of Representatives, the "Lower Energy Costs Act" sits in the Senate. At the same time, New Mexico Senators Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Lujan, who represent the 2nd largest energy producing state, remain silent. In response, Power The Future Communications Director Larry Behrens issued this statement:
"The bipartisan Lower Energy Costs Act is critical for a state like New Mexico that is at the forefront of energy production. Our leaders need to stand for the people of our state, not for the rich eco-donors who fund their campaigns. New Mexico's families are struggling under high energy prices every single day, yet Senators Heinrich and Lujan feel there's plenty of time to waste."

Washington, D.C. - Oil prices are surging to the largest single-day jumpsince April 2022 on news of surprise production cuts from OPEC countries. Saudi Arabia and other foreign oil producers announced they will cut production by roughly one million barrels a day, while American oil production remains well below highs achieved in 2019. In response, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future issued the following statement:
“Only a few short years ago foreign governments were unable to use energy as a weapon against the United States. Then Joe Biden came along and made OPEC great again. Just last week, the House of Representatives passed a bill to put America back on the road to energy independence and it’s clear OPEC was paying attention. The Senate should pass H.R. 1 immediately and President Biden finally needs to put politics aside and unleash the power of American energy. Otherwise we are headed back to $4 dollar a gallon gasoline as the norm, among many other unpleasant factors."

Turner: Every Member Who Voted "No" Voted Against America
Washington, D.C. - Today, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future, issued the following statement praising House Republicans for passing H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act:
"As recently as the era of Barack Obama, members of both political parties used to agree that abundant and affordable American energy was the foundation of economic and national security. After a long two years of the green climate cult of the Biden Administration, it is a breath of fresh air to finally see a pro-energy plan come out of Washington, D.C. Every member who voted against HR-1 voted to support China's dominance of green energy markets. Every member who voted no voted to support Vladimir Putin's dominance of energy in Europe. Every member who voted no voted against America. Their constituents who are plagued by high energy prices should hold them accountable at the ballot box next year."

Turner: The President's Disdain For American Energy Knows No Limits
Washington, D.C. - In response to President Joe Biden's threat to veto H.R. 1 (Lower Energy Costs Act), Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future, issued the following statement:
"For all the Beltway chatter about his purported triangulation heading into his re-election, Joe Biden is starting the second half of his term in an identical fashion to the first: utter and complete capitulation to the extreme environmental left that funded his campaign and runs his administration. The new House Republican majority deserves great credit for the Lower Energy Costs Act, which represent a roadmap to the energy independence Biden so foolishly squandered. Reliable, affordable and domestic energy has powered America's greatness for generations, and it's incumbent on all elected representatives, Republican and Democrat, to advocate for the industry and its workers."

Washington, D.C. - In response to President Biden's climate envoy, John Kerry, telling Yahoo News that the U.S. must work with China to combat climate change, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future, issued the following statement:
"It's been almost two decades since American voters rejected John Kerry's out-of-elitism, yet thanks to the rise of the climate cult, he's still having a major influence on our public policy. For anyone concerned about the Communist Chinese Party's influence over our children on TikTok or their unholy alliance with Russia in their shared quest to topple the United States as the world's superpower, John Kerry wants you to know that climate change is the bigger existential threat.

Not Just TikTok: Biden Administration Outsources American Energy to ChinaWashington, D.C. -As the chief executive of TikTok testifies before a blockbuster House Energy and Commerce Committee hearing, President Biden’s energy policies continue to line the coffers of the Chinese Communist Party. According to reporting by Carrie Sheffield in the New York Post,the Biden Administration shut off 514,000acres from mining in Nevada just this week. In addition to the destruction of jobs and revenue, Biden’s decision shuts off the potential production of lithium, a critical mineral for the green renewable future.
"While Biden forces our taxpayers to shell out $369 billion on his green fantasy on the one hand, he’s shutting off American lands from mining the critical minerals required for those very devices on the other,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “Stopping American mining is akin to cutting a check to the Chinese Communist Party. This is Joe Biden’s ‘America Last’ energy policy at its absolute worst. If you like the idea of an ascendant China running roughshod over the world with their spy balloons and missiles, you’ll love Biden’s green future.”
