A new “climate damages” study in Maryland is being sold as objective research. In reality, it looks a lot more like the opening move in a coordinated political campaign targeting American energy producers. The Washington Free Beacon reports, “The left-wing environmental nonprofit Rockefeller Family Fund (RFF) is bankrolling a study commissioned by Maryland governor Wes Moore (D.) to “assess the undue burden Marylanders are paying for extreme weather events,” records show. The group says the study is the first step in passing a law that would require oil companies to pay the state billions of dollars in climate damages. “When Moore announced he would…

Few leaders have stood up for American energy workers and consumers as consistently as Wyoming Congresswoman Harriet Hageman. That’s why Power The Future names her our Energy Champion of the Month. Amid debates over domestic energy production, Rep. Hageman has advocated for continued and reliable energy policies. She emphasizes the importance of reliable, affordable energy for America’s stability. In a recent op-ed, Rep. Hageman discussed the hypocrisy of the anti-energy movement. And the fact that those who claim to oppose fossil fuels still rely on them every day, even as they push policies designed to punish the very companies that keep…

This week, the United Arab Emirates announced it will leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) effective May 1. For decades, OPEC has tried to control global oil markets, but that influence is beginning to fade as American energy production reaches record levels. Under President Trump’s American Energy Dominance agenda, the United States has reaffirmed its position as the world’s top energy powerhouse. “American Energy Dominance is doing what decades of actions from the so-called ‘experts’ never could: breaking OPEC’s grip on global markets,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “This is a…

Last week, the United States hit a new milestone: a record 12.9 million barrels per day in crude oil and petroleum product exports. Since the conflict in Iran began and the disruption of the Strait of Hormuz, U.S. exports have surged by 2.5 million barrels per day, underscoring a simple reality: when global supply is threatened, the world turns to America. This isn’t an accident. It’s the direct result of American energy strength. As Middle Eastern supply tightens and global markets scramble, U.S. producers are doing what they do best: stepping up. Product exports alone reached a record 8.1 million barrels per…

If the left hates fossil fuels so much, why don’t they stop using them? As Wyoming Congresswoman Harriet Hageman emphasizes in a compelling new op-ed, the answer is clear—they can’t. Oil, natural gas, and coal remain the foundation of the American economy and modern life. Yet instead of facing that fact, activists and their political allies are doubling down on a strategy meant to punish the very industry that keeps the lights on. Rep. Hageman is leading the charge to stop it. Across the country, eco-left lawmakers are pushing “climate superfund” laws and lawsuits against energy producers for engaging in fully…

In a new Earth Day op-ed on Fox News, Power The Future founder Daniel Turner provides a straightforward assessment of where the climate movement really stands. Spoiler: they are on the sidelines and running out of gas. “Former White House chief of staff (and potential 2028 presidential hopeful) Rahm Emanuel is associated with the phrase: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” His point was parlaying voters’ short-term anxiety into long-term political gain. Yet with a gallon of gasoline averaging more than $4 in early April, the normal deafening chorus from the environmental movement has fallen to a dull murmur – even in…

After years of delays, lawsuits, and political roadblocks, the groundbreaking of the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) pipeline marks a long-overdue shift back toward energy reality in the Northeast. Supported by the Trump administration, the project aims to supply much-needed natural gas to New York City and nearby areas. Since 2013, natural gas demand in the northeast has grown by nearly 50%, but pipeline capacity has increased by only 26% and storage capacity by just 2%. This gap has real effects: higher energy bills, strained reliability, and increased vulnerability during extreme winter weather. The New York Post reports, “The NESE Project is designed…

As the Trump Administration meets with oil and gas CEOs to discuss lowering gas prices, there’s a growing question that can’t be ignored: Who is working just as aggressively to stop it? Green groups have filed over 600 lawsuits targeting energy policies and projects. These efforts are not isolated; they form a coordinated strategy to challenge nearly every aspect of an energy agenda focused on increasing supply and lowering costs. Organizations like the Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, and Earthjustice openly tout their litigation records. NRDC alone has reported suing the administration more than 160 times, including efforts that helped…

The White House today made a great stride toward fixing one of Washington’s most persistent bottlenecks: slow, outdated permitting that holds back American energy and infrastructure. With the launch of the Permitting Innovators program, the Council on Environmental Quality is following President Trump’s lead by doing something unheard of to the prior administration: involving those who build, employ, and provide opportunity to engage in a productive process for the benefit of all Americans. This effort recognizes a simple reality: the technology already exists or is within reach to make permitting faster, smarter, and more efficient. The problem has been a lack…
