This Memorial Day weekend, Americans are hitting the road in record numbers, fueled by the lowest gas prices in years. AAA projects that 45.1 million people will travel at least 50 miles from home between Thursday and Monday, marking the busiest Memorial Day travel period in over two decades.  A significant factor behind this surge is the decline in gasoline prices. The national average is projected to be $3.08 per gallon, compared to last year’s average of $3.59. This trend highlights the importance of energy policies that promote domestic production and energy independence, enabling Americans to travel without the burden of high fuel…

The same bureaucrat who doled out billions in taxpayer-funded loans to shaky green energy startups is now trying to help them leave the United States altogether. Jigar Shah, the former head of the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office under Joe Biden, is now reportedly working with green companies to “re-domicile” in Europe, according to Bloomberg. These are the very same companies his office financed, often in the final months of the Biden administration, and they’re now collapsing financially and eyeing European subsidies as a lifeline, according to a Washington Free Beacon report by Alna Goodman. You read that right: taxpayer-backed green…

Power The Future is proud to name Representative August Pfluger (TX-11) as our Energy Champion of the Month for April 2025. As Chairman of the Republican Study Committee and a tireless advocate for America’s energy workers, Rep. Pfluger has been at the forefront of restoring sanity and strength to U.S. energy policy. In April, he led the charge to repeal the Biden Administration’s natural gas tax, one of the most damaging provisions of the so-called Inflation Reduction Act. Thanks to his leadership, Congress acted swiftly to eliminate this harmful tax before it could take full effect, a major victory for…

While Senator Bernie Sanders toured the country this spring to “fight oligarchy,” he did so aboard a private jet, burning enough fuel to undo the carbon-capturing work of nearly 2,900 trees. In a Fox News exclusive report, Power The Future analyzed Sanders’ travel itinerary across 16 stops on his “Fighting Oligarchy” tour, comparing commercial and private aviation options for each leg. Despite nearly every route being serviced by commercial airlines, many with multiple daily nonstop departures for times to meet his next event, Sanders chose the most carbon-intensive form of travel available. The results are striking: It’s hard to overstate…

The country’s largest grid operator just issued a stark warning: extreme heat this summer could push the electric grid into dangerous territory potentially triggering power shortages for the first time. According to PJM Interconnection, the organization that manages the electricity grid for a large part of the eastern United States, covering 13 states and Washington, D.C., projects record-breaking demand could overwhelm available power supply. The forced transition to so-called “renewable” energy and the political war on baseload power provided by organic energy sources like coal and natural gas is to blame for this potential catastrophe. Bloomberg reported: “PJM continues to voice…

In a jaw-dropping interview that Jimmy Quinn with the National Review revealed, U.N. humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher praised Beijing’s role in the global climate agenda: Seeing how Beijing’s air quality has improved in recent decades has inspired Fletcher to “think about how we can make the humanitarian movement more green, how can we look to China for leadership about how we bring more renewable energy, solar panels, wind power, in the humanitarian supply chains.” It’s an astonishing admission: a top U.N. official openly calling on the world to look to China as a leader in the world’s green transition not because…

OPEC’s decision to increase oil production by over 400,000 barrels per day is more than just a supply adjustment, but a calculated move to undermine U.S. energy independence and manipulate global markets to weaken American producers. As Power The Future said in a statement, this is exactly why the U.S. cannot afford to rely on hostile or self-interested foreign powers for something as critical as energy. “This move by OPEC is proof they fear President Trump’s American energy dominance agenda,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “Having grown accustomed to capitulation and weakness, OPEC has…

A group of Democratic Attorneys Generals, have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for pausing federal approvals for wind energy projects. The lawsuit accuses the Trump administration of violating federal administrative law by not offering any detailed justification for suspending new wind projects. Reuters reports, “Seventeen states and the District of Columbia in a lawsuit, opens new tab filed in federal court in Boston argued that the decision by the Republican president’s administration to indefinitely pause all federal wind-energy approvals is unlawful and must be blocked.” New York’s Letitia James spearheads this lawsuit. The legal action comes even though taxpayers could be on…
