Power the Future

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:

 Washington, D.C. - During his confirmation hearing before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee today, Energy Secretary-Designate Chris Wright outlined his priorities to deliver American energy dominance. Lowering costs, stopping billions in controversial green loans, and unleashing domestic energy sources were all discussed by Mr. Wright. Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future was at today's hearing offered the following statement:

Albuquerque – In just over a week, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham will deliver her 7th State of the State address and this year Power The Future is asking her to make one small change. During her time in office, New Mexico’s state budget is up nearly 75 percent and will likely grow again this year. It’s clear the Governor has enjoyed spending billions upon billions in new revenue delivered by New Mexico’s oil and natural gas workers. And not one time in her State of the State remarks has she ever expressed gratitude to New Mexico’s energy workers. 

In a full page ad yesterday, Power The Future printed an open letter to the Governor asking her to simply say “Thank You” to the state’s oil and natural gas workers.
