Power the Future

Washington, D.C. — Power The Future applauded reports that the Trump Administration's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will rescind the Obama-era endangerment finding, a sweeping rule that served as the legal foundation for more than $1 trillion in costly climate regulations. 

"President Trump was elected to put families first, and by ending this disastrous rule that drives up prices and punishes American consumers, he's making good on this promise – this is truly a generational game changer," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "For more than a decade, the extreme eco-left relied on the endangerment finding as the artillery in their ceaseless war on American energy; today marks a major win for the good guys. In the coming years, America is going to need more power to fuel growth, rebuild manufacturing, and win the battle for artificial intelligence. The Trump Administration's bold decision clears the way for the power plants and energy production our country needs to compete and win in the 21st century."

Washington, D.C. — Today, Power The Future is formally requesting the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Inspector General (OIG) launch an immediate audit into federal spending on electric transit and school bus programs after multiple taxpayer-funded buses failed during routine winter conditions. As reported today exclusively by Fox News, during Winter Storm Fern five electric transit buses in Vermont were taken out of service because they could not reliably operate or charge in cold temperatures. The buses reportedly cost nearly $8 million, with more than 95 percent of the purchase coming from federal funding. Similar breakdowns and deployment failures have surfaced nationwide in electric school buses.

"Spending taxpayer dollars on buses in Vermont that can't be used in the cold is like buying a fire truck that can't get wet: expensive, useless, and reeking of either fraud or incompetence," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "Minnesota's daycare fraud proves what happens when Washington hands out checks with no accountability, and failing electric buses look like the same playbook. If these vehicles can't handle a normal American winter, then this program isn't just wasteful - it's a failure."

Washington, D.C. — Today, President Trump announced a major initiativeto begin stockpiling critical minerals in the U.S., marking a decisive step toward strengthening America's supply chain and economic security. The move, called "Project Vault" is designed to make the U.S. more self-reliant for critical minerals and lessen the country's dependence on China for the elements that are needed in the defense, manufacturing, and automotive industries.

"It's clear that President Trump believes that 'Made in the U.S.A.' is worth fighting for, so we welcome this important step," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "From Alaska to coal country, American workers will always produce these critical minerals better than China and they'll do it while protecting our economy and national security."

Washington, D.C. — A new report is raising serious concerns about the influence of the climate movement within the court system. According to media reports, a guide intended to provide neutral information for judges instead includes biased material designed to influence the courts in favor of the eco-left. In response, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future, issued the following statement:

"Justice is supposed to be blind, but it's clear the climate movement is trying to shove it left. Our courts should interpret the law, not be manipulated  behind the scenes to arrive at the preferred outcomes of the eco-left. Once again, the public deserves to know which judges relied on this questionable guidance and which cases they impacted."

As Al Gore declares "Renewables are taking over," wind and solar fall short during brutal winter storm

Washington, D.C. — As families continue to dig out from Winter Storm Fern, Americans are getting a clearer view of how energy sources operate under brutal winter conditions, and the contrast is stark. According to data from the Energy Information Administration, natural gas, coal, and nuclear power provided roughly 80 percent of the power in the country this weekend. Wind provided roughly 8 percent and solar around 3 percent, with neither of those sources substantially showing up at night or early mornings during the coldest temperatures. 

Power The Future has detailed the data in a new report "Frozen By Fern,"which was reported on first by the Daily Wire. 

Washington, D.C. — Today, Power The Future (PTF) launched a new website –47for47.com– highlighting the top 47 actions of President Donald Trump took to deliver American Energy Dominance. The new website documents the shift away from radical climate mandates toward energy reality, stronger national security, and more affordable and reliable energy.

"Our four-year national nightmare ended one year ago, and as we mark this important anniversary, we're proud to document how President Trump's energy agenda has delivered real results for American workers, families, and national security," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. "From reversing harmful mandates and cutting bureaucratic red tape to increasing domestic energy production and strengthening grid reliability, these 47 accomplishments tell the story of an energy comeback powered by American energy workers, and he's only just getting started."

Washington, D.C. — Today, Power The Future (PTF) is calling for an immediate review of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) unprecedented grant and loan activity in the final weeks of the Biden administration. PTF is asking Congress to examine potential fraud including actions approved by former Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm that raise serious conflict-of-interest concerns. 

As outlined in PTF's letter to Congress, Granholm authorized approximately $710 million in DOE funding to entities in New Jersey before later accepting a senior position overseeing energy policy for New Jersey's governor-elect. The letter also notes these funds were approved despite warnings from the DOE Inspector General that internal controls were insufficient, heightening concerns about waste, abuse, and misuse of taxpayer dollars.

Washington, D.C. — The Trump Administration has announced it will withdraw the United States from multiple climate agreements that undermine American sovereignty. The agreements placed disproportionate burdens on U.S. energy producers while allowing major polluters like China to move forward.  In response, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future issued the following statement: 

"These agreements were never about the environment, but about surrendering American energy independence and empowering foreign bureaucrats at the expense of our energy workers. Under these agreements, the US was expected to pay more but produce less energy while China was given a free pass to pollute and profit. The price at the pump is proof that we didn't need these agreements, all we needed was a new President."
