Latest Lawsuit Comes On Heels of Repeated Stonewalling
Washington, D.C. - After more than eight months of litigation with the U.S. Department of State, Power The Future is suing the Department of Justice (DOJ) over its systemic cover-up of the secretive Office of the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate (SPEC.) For years, Power The Future has filed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests seeking basic information about the taxpayer-funded office formally run by John Kerry. At every turn, the Biden-Harris Administration has thwarted the law and used stalling tactics to keep this information hidden.
Washington, D.C. - During tonight’s first and only Vice Presidential Debate, Governor Tim Walz tried to defend the energy failures of Vice President Kamala Harris. In response to tonight’s debate, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future issued the following statement:
“Tonight JD Vance spoke the perfect truth: American energy is the cleanest energy in the world period. Not surprisingly, Kamala Harris is outsourcing energy to Chinese-made solar panels and Iranian oil exports with disastrous consequences. However, Tim Walz did finally briefly reference the Green New Deal, which are the last three words Kamala Harris wants voters to hear.”
Washington, D.C. - Last year was a record-breaking year for car thefts in the United States according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, but apparently electric vehicles aren’t on the most wanted list. According to the latest report, there were over 1 million vehicles stolen in 2023, setting another record after 2022, with 4 of 6 the least preferred vehicles being EVs.
BREAKING: Kamala Harris Goes Silent on Green New Deal
Washington, D.C. - In a bombshell report out this morning, the campaign of Vice President Kamala Harris is refusing to answer if she still supports the controversial Green New Deal. While running for President in 2019, Kamala Harris stated she would eliminate the Senate’s filibuster rules in order to pass the Green New Deal. Now, she is refusing to answer if she still supports that position.
Washington, D.C. - With the United Nations Climate Week set to kick off this weekend, it’s unclear whether Vice President Kamala Harris will be attending. Since becoming the Democratic Nominee for President, Harris has reversed herself on key energy positions such as fracking, electric vehicle mandates, and single-use plastics. These new positions would normally put her at odds with supporters during Climate Week. Historically, Harris has attended international climate conferences, including December 2023’s UN’s COP28 where she pledged $3 billion in taxpayer dollars to support the climate agenda.
Washington, D.C. - In response to tonight’s Presidential Debate, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power the Future issued the following statement:
“Kamala Harris was allowed to stay vague on her policy flip-flops, offering zero reasons for her alleged change of heart on fracking and electric vehicles. That’s why we should all be suspicious of what Kamala Harris says, but never doubt what she’s done. Kamala Harris illegally stopped natural gas exports hurting states like Pennsylvania, and oversaw the fewest acres leased for oil production since World War II. She can hide from answering questions on the debate stage, but can’t hide from the truth.”
Washington, D.C. - In what is at least the third major reversal on energy, the Harris Campaign now says Vice President Kamala Harris no longer favors a ban on plastic straws. When running for President in 2019, Harris clearly stated “I think we should, yes,” when asked if she would ban straws. Now, similar to the pattern adopted by her other major policy reversals, the new stance is not mentioned by the Vice President herself, but instead by a campaign staffer in a statement.
“Will the real Kamala Harris please stand up? These are major policy reversals that will impact millions of families so we deserve to know the reasons behind why Kamala Harris can’t seem to go more than a week without a major flip-flop,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “Cowardly hiding behind campaign staff statements tells us all we need to know: if elected, Kamala Harris will do nothing but hide from major decisions.”
Washington, D.C. - Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is celebrating their spending an additional $7.3 billion on the green agenda with the stated purpose of helping rural America. Calling it the “largest investment in rural electrification since the New Deal,” the announcement is similar to previous administration commitments for electric vehicle charging stations and electric school buses. Both programs are now raising serious questions about financial mismanagement.
