{{/_source.additionalInfo}}The postings in this column will be primarily from Power the Future, which is a non-profit organization fighting for American energy workers.-?
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.
Washington, D.C. - Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) is melting down over taxpayers not footing the bill for his exclusive junket to Brazil for the annual United Nations climate gathering, COP30. Despite his trip taking place on the heels of a government shutdown he supported, Senator Whitehouse's journey to South America was documented by moments of praising communist China and enjoying "delicious empanadas." According to his office, the Senator's trip was "with the Sustainable Energy and Environment Coalition (SEEC) Institute," with no disclosure over who funded his travel.
"It's absurd enough that Senator Whitehouse boarded a plane for his elitist climate junket immediately after the government shutdown he supported, but what makes it even worse is the fact he won't disclose who paid for his trip," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "If that wasn't tone deaf enough, Whitehouse decided praising China instead of supporting American workers was the key takeaway from his journey. President Trump deserves all the credit for not wasting a single taxpayer dollar on this failed trip. If Senator Whitehouse needs a tropical vacation none of us should have to pick up the tab."
Washington, D.C. - According to a new report from the American Farm Bureau Federation, the average cost for Thanksgiving dinner this year is down 5 percent from last year. The drop in Thanksgiving dinner prices correlates with the recent drop in America's energy prices from the last four years. From 2021 through 2024, the average cost for gasoline in November was $3.47 per gallon, compared to $2.68 during each November under President Trump.
"More affordable life starts with more abundant energy, and thanks to the policies of the Trump Administration, Americans are starting to see meaningful results on both fronts," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "Lower energy costs ripple through the economy and are showing up not only on the roads, but also on the table this Thanksgiving. This year we have many reasons to be grateful, and President Trump ending the Green New Deal detour is high atop that list."
Washington, D.C. - Today, the U.S. House Ways and Means Committee announced that the New Georgia Project, a scandal-plagued organization founded by Stacey Abrams, is dissolving following scrutiny from Congress and Power The Future. Environmental groups with ties to Abrams were awarded $2 billion during the Biden Administration with questions swirling about the legality of their operations. The dissolution ends years of operation for the group after Power The Future Founder and Executive Director testified before Congress earlier this year.
"This was a green grift pure and simple," said Mr. Turner. "For too long, Stacey Abrams and others like her used organizations like this to game the system to enrich their political political power under the guise of the green movement. We are grateful to Chairman Comer and Chairman Smith for holding them to account and getting meaningful results."
