Power the Future

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."

Washington, D.C. - Today, Power The Future Founder and Executive Director Daniel Turner issued the following statement in response to President Biden's announcement imposing tariffs on China:

"This desperate flip-flop should be seen as an admission from President Biden that his EV push is a failure. The Biden Administration has stood in the way of mining for EV metals in the United States while American EV manufacturers continue to face layoffs, all consequences of forcing something into the market that our families don't want. This move is nothing but President Biden working to protect his green friends."

Washington, D.C. - Today, Daniel Turner, Executive Director and Founder of Power The Future, issued the following statement in response to the new series of Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules:
