Lucid is an American company that makes luxury electric vehicles (EVs). The problem is that no one wants EVs. Lucid’s recent stock drop is another warning sign that the EV market still struggles despite years of subsidies, mandates, and political hype. Consumers have made it clear they want vehicles that are affordable, reliable, and fit their daily needs, not products pushed by government policy. Bloomberg reports, “Lucid Group Inc. shares sank Tuesday after a news report said the electric vehicle maker is working with restructuring adviser AlixPartners and weighing options that include filing for bankruptcy protection or going private.” The market…

Governor Kathy Hochul says New York’s first-in-the-nation moratorium on large-scale data centers is about protecting consumers and the environment. In reality, it’s a policy that tells one of the world’s fastest-growing industries to invest elsewhere. Data centers are the backbone of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and the modern economy. They attract billions in private investment, generate thousands of construction and permanent jobs, and strengthen the infrastructure America needs to compete with China in the AI race. Instead of establishing clear rules for responsible development, New York is slamming on the brakes. The New York Post reports, “But Hochul’s unilateral, election-year move accomplished…

President Trump’s energy dominance agenda is already changing the math for America’s electric grid. Politico reported that the U.S. Energy Information Administration has “nearly tripled its prediction for new gas plant capacity” over the next few years. At the start of 2025, EIA expected 23 gigawatts of new natural gas capacity from 2026 to 2030. Its new forecast for that same period is 66 gigawatts. After years of Washington trying to force the grid onto intermittent resources, the country is now facing reality: America needs more power, and it needs power that works on demand. Artificial intelligence, data centers, manufacturing, and ordinary…

President Trump’s deregulatory agenda just made a great stride. As E&E News reported, “President Donald Trump has laid out his wide-ranging regulatory plan to sweep away regulations and bolster American industry and fossil fuel energy.” The new Unified Agenda, released by the Office of Management and Budget, makes clear that deregulation is  central to the mission. OMB General Counsel Mark Paoletta said the plan will “promote liberty, unleash American energy dominance, preserve products consumers love, and eradicate the ideology of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI).” That language matters because it recognizes what Power The Future has been saying for years: America’s…

As Americans get ready to travel to celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday, drivers in five states are facing something far less celebratory: increased gasoline taxes. Starting July 1, California, Washington, Maryland, Virginia, and Mississippi are raising their state gas taxes, adding another expense for families. Instead of making it easier for Americans to celebrate Independence Day, these states are making it more costly to fill up the tank. “America’s 250th birthday should be a celebration of freedom, not another excuse for politicians to raid the family road-trip budget in a way that would make King George III proud,” said Daniel…

American energy has a building problem. We have the resources. We have the technology. What we don’t have is a permitting system that allows us to move fast enough to meet the moment. That’s exactly what Sen. Alan Armstrong’s (R-OK) American Energy and Mineral Infrastructure Act of 2026 aims to fix, and it’s an idea long overdue. Fox News reports, “Armstrong has produced a package of bills geared toward permitting reform that combines ideas from the House and Senate, dubbed the American Energy and Mineral Infrastructure Act of 2026. The package would ultimately alleviate time and money spent on the permitting…

For years, China has held a near-stranglehold on the global supply of critical minerals, controlling much of the cobalt and copper production that powers everything from smartphones and electric vehicles to advanced military equipment. Now, the Trump Administration is taking real steps to change that. A new U.S.-backed investment by Virtus Minerals in the Democratic Republic of the Congo represents a significant win in the effort to secure reliable critical mineral supply chains outside of Chinese control. The project will develop two major cobalt and copper mines capable of producing 75,000 tons of copper and 20,000 tons of cobalt each…

Summer is here again, and Europe is responding the only way it seems to know how: by restricting ordinary people. As France swelters through temperatures above 104 degrees, more than 1,300 schools have closed, homes remain largely unequipped with air-conditioning, and officials have now cracked down on drinking alcohol in public. The pattern is familiar. European leaders spend years discouraging the abundant, affordable energy and modern infrastructure that allow people to live comfortably through extreme weather. Then, when the predictable summer heat arrives, they impose new rules on citizens instead. According to the Associated Press: “In a country without widespread air-conditioning,…

American drivers are starting to see pump prices lower. According to AAA, the national average price for regular gasoline has dropped below $4 a gallon, continuing a steady decline that has seen prices decrease more than 51 cents in the past month alone. For families managing household budgets, summer travel plans, and rising daily expenses, lower fuel prices are welcome news. ”American Energy Dominance works, and today’s falling gas prices are proof our families pay less when our country produces more,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “This time four years ago, the failed green…

Recent tensions around the Strait of Hormuz tested America’s energy resilience, and the results are clear. As tensions with Iran grew, some experts warned that oil prices could hit $200 a barrel. That didn’t happen. Instead, oil prices opened today around $80 per barrel, while gasoline prices continue dropping. According to AAA, the national average for gasoline has fallen from $4.52 per gallon a month ago to $4.06 today. Those figures emphasize the significance of American Energy Dominance. “The numbers don’t lie — they deliver a decisive verdict,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. “Once…
