Power the Future

Washington, D.C. — After years of dismissing concerns from energy workers, families, and affordability advocates, the editorial board of The Washington Post acknowledged today what Power The Future has warned for years: aggressive green energy mandates are unaffordable. In a recent editorial examining New York Governor Kathy Hochul's retreat from climate policies—including delaying a gas ban, approving new pipeline infrastructure, and refocusing on affordability—the Post effectively concedes that ideology-driven energy policy carries real economic consequences. "Hochul's U-turn is an admission that the anti-energy agenda pushed by far-left environmental groups was always unaffordable," the Post said.

For seven years, Power The Future warned the green agenda being pushed in New York and nationwide would hurt families long before it became politically convenient.

Washington, D.C.— As the proposal to merge Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern was formally filed to the Surface Transportation Board (STB), Power The Future (PTF) today urged the rejection of a rail monopoly that would stretch from coast to coast. 

"With Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern now officially submitting their merger proposal to the STB, the stakes for America's energy sector could not be higher," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. "A combined Union Pacific and Norfolk Southern would control nearly half of U.S. freight traffic—giving one railroad huge power over the movement of coal, oil, natural gas liquids, and other vital energy products. History shows us that mergers like this have led to increased rates, reduced service quality, and major disruptions. As the Board reviews this filing, we urge regulators to reject a deal that would weaken supply chains, raise costs, and undermine President Trump's push for American energy dominance."

Washington, D.C. — In response to President Trump's remarks on the economy tonight, Power The Future Founder and Executive Director Daniel Turner issued the following statement:

"What a difference a year makes. Under President Trump's leadership, American energy dominance is once again delivering real relief to families at the gas pump—proof that smart, pro-energy policies lower costs and strengthen our economy. It's hard to take seriously the sudden concern for affordability from supporters of the Biden green agenda who were deafeningly silent when gas prices hit record highs and electricity costs rose nearly 30 percent on their watch. They called inflation 'transitory' and laughed it off while families paid thousands more for energy, groceries, and basic necessities. Americans remember the tax dollars wasted on green failures that made life more expensive. Today's falling energy prices are a reminder that affordable energy isn't an accident—it's the result of leadership that puts families first."

Washington, D.C. — Power The Future (PTF) announced today its support for the Trump administration to act against the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). In the letter, PTF advocates for immediate action to stop the European Union from imposing sweeping climate mandates on American companies. 

"Vice President Vance and Secretary Rubio were right to criticize the EU for punishing companies that don't censor speech — and this is the same dangerous strategy. Europe is now trying to control America's energy policy from across the Atlantic, and that cannot be allowed," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. "Our letter makes it clear: these radical climate mandates would destroy jobs, weaken supply chains, and punish the very American workers who helped Europe through its energy crisis. America's energy future belongs to American workers — not European bureaucrats."

Washington, D.C. - According to AAA, the national average for gasoline is now sitting at $2.998, the lowest price in over four years. Today's gasoline price news comes on the the heels of the latest report showing the United States set another record for oil production at over 13.8 million barrels per day in September of this year. 

"Gas prices dropping below $3 a gallon isn't an accident, it's the direct result of real leadership in Washington and reversing the anti-energy policies of the last four years," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "Today's price drop is just further proof that the record energy prices of the past were the result of failed leaders who put our workers and families last. Thankfully, President Trump promised American energy dominance and now our families are seeing the results at the pump."

Washington, D.C. - Earlier this year, America was promised a turbulent 2025 hurricane season, with major outlets amplifying dire forecasts of up to 19 storms and warnings that the nation was at heightened risk due to alleged staffing issues. Reports framed the year as another climate-driven threat barreling toward the U.S. But now that the season has closed, the panic proved baseless: not one named storm made landfall on the continental United States this year —something not seen since 2015.

Washington, D.C. - Today, Power The Future released an open letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem urging the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to review whether foreign climate agitator Greta Thunberg should be allowed entry into the United States following a string of disruptive and vandalistic incidents abroad. Most recently, Thunberg was banned from Venice for participating in an act of vandalism against the city's historical and treasured Grand Canal.

Washington, D.C. - New Jersey Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill wasted no time betraying her campaign promise to lower energy costs. Just days after declaring a "state of emergency" on utility costs, Sherrill has tapped Jennifer Granholm—the architect of Biden's energy crisis and champion of sky-high gas prices—to help lead her transition. Appointing one of the leaders responsible for the worst energy inflation in modern history is a flashing red warning sign for every ratepayer in New Jersey.
