Power the Future

Washington, D.C. - As President Trump delivers on his promise imposing tariffs to make America more secure, working families can count on coal, oil, and natural gas workers to keep prices reasonable. During his first term, President Trump effectively used tariffs as part of American economic power while keeping energy costs low and increasing household income. In contrast, the Biden Administration orchestrated an all-out attack on American energy causing costs to increase nearly 20 percent while household income rose only 1.3 percent.

Albuquerque – According to a spokesperson, former Interior Secretary Deb Haaland is expected to announce her candidacy for Governor of New Mexico. In response, Power The Future Communications Director Larry Behrens issued the following statement:

“Deb Haaland’s record in Washington is an abysmal failure, and that failure would undoubtedly follow her to Santa Fe. Her agenda clearly shows little regard for oil and natural gas workers, who are the backbone of New Mexico’s economy. No one should give Deb Haaland the keys to New Mexico’s economy because all she knows how to do is stall the engine.”

Some of the most notable failures of Haaland’s tenure at the Interior Department include:

Washington, D.C. - President Trump has ordered a pause in all federal funding tied to the Green New Deal. The directive orders a temporary pause in “all activities related to obligation or disbursement of all Federal financial assistance” for many areas including the Green New Deal. In response, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future issued the following statement:

“We wholeheartedly support President Trump as he hits the brakes on the green gravy train. Billions upon billions of questionable dollars were shoveled out the door as Joe Biden faded out of office and the American people were left holding the bill. President Trump’s message is clear: the free ride is over for the green agenda and it’s past time we let the free market choose what’s best.”

Albuquerque – New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham kicked off the 2025 Legislative Session in traditional fashion by refusing to show gratitude for the state’s oil and natural gas workers. This is the seventh speech the Governor has offered before the legislative session and despite spending the billions provided by oil and gas workers, the Governor has not once expressed any gratitude.

Washington, D.C. - In less than 24 hours in the White House, President Donald Trump has made good on many of his campaign promises by signing a series of executive orders toward American energy dominance. Several of the actions coincide with recommendations outlined in Power The Future’s 2025 Energy Policy Roadmap, which are designed to reverse the damage done during the previous administration while lowering costs and making our nation more secure.

"If you’re a fan of American energy, the last 24 hours are like Christmas all over again," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "However, this fight is just beginning because it will take time to undo the failures of the last administration, as well as pass new laws that can’t be undone by future administrations. Make no mistake: It is American energy liberation day and we’re just getting started."

Actions taken by President Trump in the last 24 hours that are part of PTF Energy Roadmap include:

Albuquerque – Today, As President Trump took the Oath of Office, he promised a new day for for American energy which will mean more prosperity and opportunity for New Mexico. President Trump’s commitment to expand domestic energy production promises to deliver more revenue for the Land of Enchantment and lower bills for working families.

Washington, D.C. - Later today, in one of his first acts upon returning to office President Trump is set to declare an Energy Emergency through executive order. The move is expected to be part of an “energy-omnibus” order that would repeal energy production restrictions, remove the Biden electric vehicle mandate, and stop the reckless spending on failed green projects.

Washington, D.C. - Both Governor Doug Burgum and Lee Zeldin faced separate Senate committees as part of their confirmation process today. President-Elect Trump has picked Governor Burgum to become Secretary of Interior and Mr. Zeldin is appointed to be Director of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA.) Power The Future Founder and Executive Director Daniel Turner attended the hearing for Governor Burgum and issued the following statements for both appointments:
