Washington, D.C. - Dubbing it an "electrical vehicle mandate in disguise," Power The Future slammed the new tailpipe emissions rules released today by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that call for up to 56 percent of all passenger vehicles sold to be fully electric within the next six years. The mandate comes amid a string of bad news for EVs, including slumping sales, production cuts, less investment, and layoffs.
"The Biden Administration is using executive orders to push this EV mandate because he knows Congress won't pass it and because the American people don't support it," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "If EVs are as popular as Joe Biden claims, he wouldn't have to force them through executive fiat or prop them up with taxpayer subsidies. With layoffs of workers, billions in losses, and CEO's losing their jobs, it's clear the electric vehicle bloodbath has already begun."
Washington, D.C. - Today, Power The Future called on Congress to defund President Joe Biden's "American Climate Corps," which was outlined in last week's White House budget proposal to the tune of $8 billion dollars to hire 50,000 government workers. While the move is supported by U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and other backers of the Green New Deal, the $8 billion price tag is nearly double the $4.7 billion Biden requested as a contingency fund to aid the border.
"Let's be clear: Joe Biden wants 50,000 new climate activists pushing his extreme agenda on the taxpayers' dime. Congress needs to defund this effort immediately," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "It's not a coincidence the President wants thousands of these activists on the payroll before Election Day because they will be another arm of his campaign effort. When Congress drafts their respective budgets, they must ensure this effort doesn't get a single dollar."
Washington, D.C. - President Biden offered no new solutions to his energy failures during tonight's State of the Union Speech. Instead, the American people were treated to more platitudes with a blind eye towards the Biden Administration's past broken promises. During tonight's remarks, the President failed to mention the so-called Inflation Reduction Act after the latest economic report shows inflation is still on the rise with energy costs being a key driver.
"This last twelve months have provided even more failures to Joe Biden's energy agenda and his refusal to acknowledge that fact tonight proves he's intentionally lying to the American people," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "A pathetic promise to saddle taxpayers with 20,000 members of his ‘Climate Corps' are not going to lower prices on America's working families. It's telling that Biden's Inflation Reduction Act is such a failure that it didn't even get mentioned tonight. Joe Biden surrendered American energy independence and no amount of platitudes or media spin can hide that fact."
Washington, D.C. - One week after Power The Future urged congressional leaders to launch an investigation into President Joe Biden's appointment of John Podesta as Climate Czar, House Energy and Commerce Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), ranking member for the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, sent a letter to the White House late yesterday raising concerns the appointment of John Podesta is circumventing the law, according to an exclusive story in the Washington Examiner.
Washington, D.C. - Today marks the last day in office for Climate Czar John Kerry. Appointed by President Biden at the beginning of his term, Kerry was the first person to serve as leader in the office created without Congressional authorization. During his tenure, Kerry has traveled the world pushing President Biden's climate agenda while refusing to disclose the budget, staff, or the groups influencing the secret office. While Kerry worked for President Biden, the United States endured the highest gasoline prices in history and inflation not seen since the early 1980s.
"John Kerry may be smiling as he rides his private jet into the sunset, but the American people are still paying the real costs of his failure," said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. "For over three years, Kerry scoffed at every single attempt to bring accountability to his secret office while traveling the world to make climate deals the American people don't want. There's no doubt Kerry is excited for the next chapter of his life which will likely include big green paychecks and more elitist conferences."
Albuquerque – In the latest effort to import failed California policies, today Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed into law new fuel standards that will increase the price of gasoline. By signing the so-called "Clean Transportation Fuel Standards" bill into law, Governor Lujan Grisham is forcing New Mexico to join only three other states in enacting this expensive standard.
"It's clear that Governor Lujan Grisham took a look at California's highest gas prices in the nation and decided that's what she wants for New Mexico's families," said Larry Behrens, Communications Director for Power The Future. "As a national leader in oil production, New Mexico's leaders should do all they can to support our energy industry. Instead, Santa Fe politicians want to copy failed policies that punish families by driving up prices."
According to AAA as of today, the three states that have similar fuel standards pay on average $4.28 for a gallon of gasoline which is nearly a dollar more than the national average. In California, families are forced to pay $4.84 per gallon, which is a whopping $1.74 more than the current average in New Mexico.
Power The Future is a 501c4 non-profit dedicated to fighting for American energy workers.
Washington, D.C. - Standing up to President Biden's army of bureaucrats and fighting for energy price relief for America's families are key elements of the newly released House Consolidated Appropriations Act. In response to the measure, Power The Future Founder and Executive Director Daniel Turner released the following statement:
"Enough is enough, Joe Biden is pushing through his extreme climate agenda by using every corner of the administration while using our tax dollars to do it. By cutting back funding on Biden's army of bureaucrats, this appropriation bill will send the message that driving up prices on our families is no longer acceptable. We commend Chair Granger for reclaiming congressional authority from a rogue administrative state that uses unappropriated funds to advance an agenda that neither Congress nor the American people support."
Washington, D.C. - Power The Future is urging the House Energy and Commerce Committee to investigate Climate Czar John Podesta's role in the recent decision to halt American liquified natural gas (LNG) exports. According to a recent report from the Washington Free Beacon, Podesta played a major role in President Biden's LNG decision, while his brother works as a lobbyist for foreign producers. According to the report, Tony Podesta works for at least one foreign LNG company that was funded by a Russian oligarch.
