Washington, D.C. - According to media reports, First Lady Jill Biden is in the middle of making several trips back-and-forth across the Atlantic in just a few short days. In at least one leg of the journey, the First Lady boarded a military aircraft in Paris to return to Delaware in order to attend court proceedings. In total, the First Lady flew between the United States and France at least three times from Wednesday through Friday. 

"As Joe Biden threatens to declare a climate emergency complete with COVID-style lockdowns and punitive measures, he's using hundreds of thousands of gallons of jet fuel at the taxpayer expense to fly his wife back-and-forth across the Atlantic," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "The Biden climate scheme is pretty simple: working families are supposed to shut up and pay up while he and all the other hypocrites live it up."

Washington, D.C. - Today, Power The Future Founder and Executive Director Daniel Turner issued the following statement in response to Vermont becoming the first state to demand payments from oil companies for a share of what they define as climate damage.

"For those fretting about alleged quid pro quos, pay close attention to recent events in Vermont where the climate movement has shown they are interested in extorting cash above all else. Unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats will rush to define any element of the weather as damaging because they know they can shakedown private industry for more cash. It's clear the only green the climate movement will ever care about is money."

Albuquerque – Major concerns are surfacing about Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's proposed $600 million solar manufacturing deal. According to a bombshell front-page story from the Albuquerque Journal, the company at the center of Lujan Grisham's efforts faces a number of issues including:

• An investigation into violating federal securities laws.

• Delayed release of financial reports.

• A massive drop in stock price.

• The largest shareholder is now a Chinese-based company.

Washington, D.C. - As Americans continue to grapple with rising costs, Power The Future applauds the effort of Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) to repeal the tax on natural gas imposed by President Biden. The increased cost for natural gas was another aspect buried into the President's Inflation Reduction Act.

Washington, D.C. - Today, President Joe Biden took to social media to celebrate the price of gas going down despite high prices over the Memorial Day weekend. The President also took credit for draining the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve in an effort to lower prices. The effort served as a reminder that no other President has drained the nation's oilreserves more than Joe Biden. 

Washington, D.C. - They are being celebrated from San Diego to Portland to Albuquerque, but every one of the "all electric" or "zero emissions" fire trucks come complete with a diesel engine. That is according to one reportwhich found each new truck purchased with the help of a federal program comes with a diesel engine to ensure it can pump water, or even drive, when the electric battery runs out. Additionally, the cost of the trucks is anywhere from 40 to 50 percent more than an all-diesel counterpart. 

"This would be laughable if so much money wasn't being wasted on such a big lie," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "Every politician celebrating these trucks as 'all electric' are either lying to the public, or too clueless to know what they're talking about. Over-spending tax dollars on a product and then misleading voters is nothing less than pure fraud."

Washington, D.C. - In a late Friday announcement, the Biden Administration committed to buying 3.3 million barrels of oil to begin refilling America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR.) This effort will fill about 1 percent of the reserve President Biden has drained during his time in office, and it will be purchased at a price of nearly $80 a barrel. That price tag is much higher than the proposed cost of $31 a barrel when former President Trump proposed refilling the SPR in March 2020 in order to take advantage of low prices. That effort was stopped by Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) who called the purchase a "bailout for big oil."

Albuquerque – Last week, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham proudly announced the purchase of a new $1.8 million electric fire truck. However, according to a new report, the Governor's fire truck is equipped with a diesel engine for times when the electric batteries run out. The fossil-fuel engine was overlooked in the Governor's press release celebrating the "zero emission" vehicle.

"This truck is the epitome of all so called ‘green' products because there is no way it would exist or be functional without fossil fuels," said Larry Behrens, Communications Director for Power The Future. "Electric engines are simply not up to powering a simple road trip, much less taking on a role as critical as public safety. The diesel engine is proof positive that renewables would not exist on their own accord."
