Electric vehicles are often sold as the future of transportation, but a growing number of recalls are raising serious questions about whether drivers can count on them. The Daily Caller reports, “Forget the slow burn of traffic — electric vehicles are catching fire amid a surge in recalls over models that can burst into flames even while parked. Sarah Lammersen’s plug-in hybrid Jeep Wrangler caught fire while her daughter drove it, days after a recall of a partially electric car model, according to The Washington Post. Jeep alone recalled more than 200,000 plug-in hybrid vehicles in November 2025, over a risk that their batteries could catch…

PTF wants to show the faces of those at the bottom of our list and the worst for energy workers. These individuals have demanded increased environmental standards for American Energy but hide behind labels ‘green’ and ‘clean’, despite the environmental damages these ‘green projects’ themselves create.   The following Senators have also landed themselves at the very bottom of PTF’s scorecard for pushing green failure.  The countless environmental effects of their efforts, including wildlife impacts and altered habitats, prove it’s not about protecting the environment; it’s about the public knowing they are “green,” and “green” leads to blind support.  As elections grow…

Congress may be in recess, but now is the time to recognize legislators who have continued to fight for energy dominance and watch those who don’t.  Everyone deserves to know where our lawmakers stand. Power The Future’s Legislator Scorecard differentiates current energy advocates from ‘climate crusaders’.  Our scorecard tracks the most influential energy votes in Congress and lets constituents see the faces behind them.    The following five members of the House have done an exceptional job fighting for the affordable energy of all Americans.  Power the Future has calculated energy scores that have placed these legislators at the front of the pack. In…

Europe’s power grid received another reminder this week of a fundamental problem with solar energy: when the sun disappears, so does the power. Reuters reports, “Europe’s power network operators have lined up back-up generation and grid-balancing measures to offset an expected dip in solar power during ​Wednesday’s eclipse, they said ahead of the event.” As a solar eclipse moved across Europe, solar generation was expected to drop by up to 9.7 gigawatts. Spain and Portugal alone were expected to lose roughly 5 gigawatts, while France prepared for as much as 1.8 gigawatts of solar generation to temporarily disappear. To keep the lights…

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals delivered another win for American energy by rejecting youth climate activists’ attempt to revive a lawsuit challenging President Trump’s pro-energy agenda. The court refused to rehear Lighthiser v. Trump, leaving intact a ruling that the 22 plaintiffs lacked standing to challenge executive orders intended to expand domestic energy production, support American coal, and remove unnecessary permitting barriers. The Daily Caller reports, “The 22 plaintiffs, from Montana, Oregon, Hawaii, California and Florida, filed Lighthiser v. Trump in Montana District Court in May 2025. In October 2025, the Montana court dismissed the youths’ lawsuit for lack of jurisdiction, despite finding…

For years, climate activists demanded that Americans subsidize and surrender their energy system to unreliable solar power while foreign countries flooded the market with artificially cheap components and wiped out American producers. President Trump is putting a stop to it. The President’s new action will restrict imports of foreign polysilicon and solar products, impose new tariffs, and reward companies that move production back to the United States. The White House noted that America’s share of global polysilicon production collapsed from 50 percent in 2005 to less than 2 percent in 2024. As the White House explains: “For decades, foreign governments have dumped…

Climate activists are no longer satisfied with regulating power plants, banning appliances, or restricting the cars Americans drive. Now, some companies want to manipulate the atmosphere itself by spraying sunlight-reflecting particles above the clouds. As POLITICO reports, the growing push has united skeptics on both the right and left who worry that the risks could outweigh any promised benefits. Yet they still call those on the right conspiracy theorists. Climate radicals are driven by narrow objectives: lower temperatures at any cost and make people pay for it. Little attention is paid to what these experiments could mean for public health, agriculture,…

With Abdul El-Sayed securing the Democratic nomination for Michigan’s open U.S. Senate seat, voters should carefully consider what his energy plan could mean for families across the state. For years, El-Sayed has embraced some of the most extreme energy policies in American politics.   “Abdul El-Sayed may have won the Democratic nomination, but Michigan families would lose under the insane Green New Deal he has proudly championed,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future. “Our research found the Green New Deal would cost a typical Michigan household nearly $75,000 in the first year alone, but El-Sayed doesn’t…

A new report from the U.S. Geological Survey confirms what energy advocates have long known: America holds a vast coal supply. According to the report, the coal resources beneath federally managed public lands could power the nation for at least 600 years. With 356 billion short tons of available coal resources and an additional 4.2 billion short tons of reserves linked to active mines, the United States has more than enough fuel to meet increasing electricity needs for generations. This comes as the country faces an urgent need for reliable, affordable electricity. Dependable energy sources are more important than ever, and coal…

This week, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) revealed that Bill Gates held a Department of Energy “Q” security clearance from 2014 to 2021, raising a simple question: Why? A Q clearance is among the federal government’s highest levels of security access. It is typically reserved for individuals who require access to information involving nuclear weapons, critical energy infrastructure, and other highly classified national security programs. It is not something that should be handed out simply because someone is wealthy, influential, or well-connected. The public deserves an explanation for why a billionaire climate activist needed access to some of America’s most sensitive national security…
