House to Investigate Biden Climate Orders After PTF Executive Director Testifies to Congress

June 5, 2025

This week, Power The Future’s Founder and Executive Director Daniel Turner testified before Congress in a pivotal hearing titled “Public Funds, Private Agendas: NGOs Gone Wild.” Hosted by the Subcommittee on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE), the hearing pulled back the curtain on a dangerous system where billions of taxpayer dollars are funneled into the pockets of politically connected climate activists. Daniel’s testimony detailed how radical environmental groups, with help from unaccountable federal bureaucrats, are turning the green agenda into a billion-dollar cash grab, all under the guise of climate action. During the hearing, House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) directly…


The Architect of Biden’s Green Gravy Train Is Now Suing to Keep It Alive

June 3, 2025

At Power The Future, we’ve long warned that the real power behind the Biden-era energy agenda wasn’t the man at the podium, it was the unelected ideologues crafting policy in the shadows. Now we’re watching those same bureaucrats-turned-activists resurface in private practice to cash in and defend the broken system they built. Case in point: Daniel Jacobson, President Biden’s former general counsel at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), who spent his time in government making it harder to cancel bad grants. Now, he’s out of government and suing the Trump administration in multiple cases to keep those exact…


Back to the Frontier: 13 Million Acres Reclaimed for American Energy

June 3, 2025

The Biden administration tried to quietly shut down energy development across 13 million acres of Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve. Now, the Trump administration is undoing that damage. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum announced this week that the Department of the Interior will roll back Biden’s 2024 rule, which imposed extreme restrictions on oil and gas activity in areas that Congress explicitly designated for energy production. The rule created broad “Special Areas” where leasing was essentially banned unless operators could prove a negative, “no adverse effects,” on surface resources. In a statement reported in Fox News, Burgum made clear what was at stake: “The…


Who Shuttered Alaska’s Arctic Future? Biden’s Name Is on the Ban, But He Never Said a Word

May 30, 2025

In March 2023, the Biden administration quietly issued a sweeping ban on future oil and gas leasing in areas of Alaska, without fanfare and without a single word from the President himself. This move carries devastating implications for Alaska’s energy economy and long-term development prospects. This wasn’t a minor procedural action. It was a policy bombshell, sentencing Alaskans to a depressed economy, unable to utilize the resources beneath their feet. It effectively canceled Alaska’s next generation of energy development, locked up lands critical to the state’s future economic growth, and sent a chilling signal to every investor in responsible resource production. “Americans deserve to know which unelected…


Interior Taps Two Prominent Alaskans for Key Roles

May 30, 2025

The Trump administration and Interior Secretary Burgum have hired two proven Alaskan leaders, Drue Pearce and Kara Moriarty, for positions in support of the President’s Executive Order to unleash Alaska’s extraordinary resource potential.  Adding these positions reinforces the importance of Alaska resource development to the President’s commitment to United States energy dominance Pearce, a former Alaska Senate President and Senior Advisor to US Interior Sectary Gale Norton, among the many roles she has played in her decades of work forwarding pro-Alaska policy, will be serving as Counselor to the Assistant Secretary of Lands and Minerals. Moriarty brings a wealth of…


DOE Cancels Biden Era Multi-Billion Dollar Green Energy Loan

May 30, 2025

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has officially canceled a $3 billion partial loan guarantee to Sunnova Energy, a solar company that had been at the center of President Biden’s clean energy agenda. The decision reflects a growing emphasis on investing in reliable, market-ready energy solutions rather than using taxpayer dollars to prop up unreliable green energy sources. The Daily Caller reports, “In 2023, the Biden DOE announced a $3 billion partial loan guarantee to Sunnova Energy, a Houston-based company that provides solar panels and EV chargers, in furtherance of its broader green energy agenda. The Trump DOE canceled the loan guarantee…


Report: Biden May Not Have Even Known About Detrimental Climate Policies of his Own Administration

May 28, 2025

While the Biden administration was quick to tout and implement its aggressive climate agenda, a closer look raises a more troubling question: did President Joe Biden ever even know about some of the sweeping actions taken in his name? We reviewed eight major executive actions that fundamentally reshaped American energy policy, from banning offshore drilling to invoking emergency powers to boost solar manufacturing, and found no evidence that President Biden ever personally spoke about any of them. Not in a press conference. Not in a speech. Not even a video statement. These aren’t minor procedural documents, memos, or messaging documents….


Holiday Blackouts Leave New Orleans in the Dark

May 27, 2025

Over the holiday weekend, nearly 100,000 customers in and around New Orleans lost power in a sudden blackout triggered by the region’s grid operator, the Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO).  The Daily Caller reports, “The Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO), a major electrical grid operator, directed the energy company Entergy to reduce power with only three minutes’ notice to prevent a blackout, affecting nearly 100,000 customers, according to Nola.com. Power was fully restored after several hours, though concerns about the power grid’s reliability remain as President Donald Trump’s administration, energy policy experts and multiple North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) reports have signaled that MISO is at an…


EV Fallout: Taxpayer-Funded Hype Meets Economic Reality

May 23, 2025

When Ford Motor Company bet big on electric vehicles in 2021—announcing two massive battery plants in Kentucky and raking in a nearly $10 billion loan from the Department of Energy, politicians and pundits cheered. This, they told us, was the future. But now, as one of those taxpayer-backed plants sits completely unused, it is clear that future was built on fantasy, not demand. According to The Wall Street Journal, Ford is now leasing part of its flagship battery facility to Nissan, another automaker reeling from billions in losses. Ford itself burned through $5 billion on its EV division last year and expects to…


Consumer Choice, Not Climate Control

May 23, 2025

The Department of Energy’s recent move to rescind dozens of appliance regulations marks a pivot in the federal government’s approach to energy and consumer policy and a powerful reaffirmation of American freedom. Gone are the one-size-fits-all mandates that tried to dictate what stove you cook on, how your dishwasher runs, or how forcefully your shower sprays. In their place: common sense, affordability, and respect for individual choice. This action, led by Energy Secretary Chris Wright under President Trump’s administration, dismantles a sweeping set of rules imposed during the Biden era—rules that were more about pushing an ideological climate agenda than…
