PTF Praises Trump Administration for Pulling Plug on U.N. Conference

November 4, 2025

Every year, high-level bureaucrats fly around the world on private jets to be wined and dined at the United Nations COP conference. This year, COP30 is happening in Belem, Brazil, where they cleared part of the Amazon rainforest for the event. All this just so they can lecture us on how terrible our carbon footprint is. This year, President Trump has wisely decided not to send any high-level officials to COP30.  “President Trump is absolutely right to end the taxpayer-funded hypocrisy that defines these bloated climate retreats,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “It will be fascinating…


Alaska Is Open for Energy Again

October 30, 2025

Common sense is finally returning to Washington, and it’s reaching all the way to Alaska’s North Slope. The Department of the Interior announced last week that it’s reopening the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for oil and gas leasing. After years of Washington red tape and energy lockdowns, this is welcome news for Alaskan workers, Native communities, and every American who wants affordable, reliable energy. The Daily Caller reports, “The DOI announced Thursday that it is reopening the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for oil and gas leasing and is seeking lease sale location opportunities on the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska…


Rahm Emanuel Blames Trump for Expensive Electricity, While Ignoring the Real Culprit: Him

October 30, 2025

Rahm Emanuel has a message for you: your electric bill went up, and somehow it’s Donald Trump’s fault. In his Wall Street Journal op-ed titled “Rising Electricity Price? Thank Trump,” the former Obama chief of staff does what Washington Democrats do best, rewrite history. He claims that cutting Biden’s green-energy subsidies through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act caused electricity prices to rise. But the facts, and basic economics, say the opposite. When he was Mayor of Chicago, Emanuel proposed in 2012 that the city negotiate a surcharge on customers’ electricity bills to pay for his renewable energy and efficiency…


Rivian Lays Off Workers as EV Sales Plummet 

October 29, 2025

Electric vehicle (EV) companies are struggling to turn a profit as the Trump Administration continues to withdraw government subsidies that EV producers relied on. Rivian is facing this reality and experiencing multiple layoffs across the company. The Wall Street Journal reports: “Rivian is carrying out another round of layoffs affecting around 4% of its workforce as the electric-truck maker tries to conserve cash in a world pulling back from electric vehicles.” This comes after the company reported a $1.1 billion loss in the second quarter. It follows an industry-wide trend, and one that Rivian has experienced multiple times.  “A month…


Bill Gates Tries to Rewrite His Climate Legacy

October 28, 2025

After years of warning that climate change would devastate humanity, Bill Gates is suddenly singing a different tune. In a recent interview reported by The New York Times, Gates now claims that climate change “will not lead to humanity’s demise.” This stunning reversal comes from the same billionaire who spent years pushing radical green policies. Policies that drove up energy prices hurt American workers and left families struggling to afford necessities. There’s no “new science” behind his change of heart, just a billionaire trying to dodge responsibility for the damage his agenda caused. “Bill Gates is trying to flee the blaze…


Sanctioning Russian Oil Must Be Coupled with U.S. Domestic Production 

October 24, 2025

This week, the Trump administration showcased their frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his war machine. The U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil producers, Rosneft and Lukoil, escalating pressure on the Kremlin to end its war in Ukraine. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the move targets the oil companies that “fund the Kremlin’s war machine” and called on Moscow to agree to an “immediate ceasefire.” The sanctions target dozens of subsidiaries connected to the two energy giants and mark a significant effort to further isolate the already wounded Russian war economy.  Fox Business reports, “The sanctions block dozens of subsidiaries…


Refilling America’s Energy Security

October 22, 2025

The Department of Energy (DOE) announced this week it will buy 1 million barrels of oil to replenish the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). This move represents a long-overdue correction after the Biden administration drained the SPR to its lowest level since 1983. When President Trump left office, America’s SPR held more than 638 million barrels, a strong safeguard designed to protect the nation in the event of war, natural disaster, or global supply disruption. But the Biden administration repeatedly emptied it for political purposes. The result? America’s most critical emergency energy stockpile dropped to just 402 million barrels by June 2025, according…



Climate Scientist Admits His Study Was Wrong

October 20, 2025

Every so often, someone inside the climate movement admits what the rest of us have long known: the apocalypse never came. This week, Ted Nordhaus, founder of the Breakthrough Institute and once a leading voice in climate alarmism, wrote a remarkable essay titled “I Thought Climate Change Would End the World. I Was Wrong.” In it, he concedes that the catastrophe he once predicted was built on bad models, false assumptions, and ideological momentum. “I no longer believe this hyperbole,” Nordhaus writes. “The amount of warming that is conceivable even in plausible worst-case scenarios is not remotely consistent with the sorts of…


Gas Drops Below $3 as U.S. Oil Production Hits Record High

October 20, 2025

Good news for every driver, worker, and family across America: the national average for a gallon of gasoline has officially dropped below $3 for the first time in years. At the same time, U.S. oil production has hit a new record of more than 13.6 million barrels per day. This is a testament to what American energy workers can accomplish when the government gets out of the way and lets them lead. “Once again, we’re seeing the Trump Effect at work and the results are encouraging and prove what happens when leaders actually believe in American energy, the workers who make it possible,” said…
