In a new Earth Day op-ed on Fox News, Power The Future founder Daniel Turner provides a straightforward assessment of where the climate movement really stands. Spoiler: they are on the sidelines and running out of gas. “Former White House chief of staff (and potential 2028 presidential hopeful) Rahm Emanuel is associated with the phrase: “You never want a serious crisis to go to waste.” His point was parlaying voters’ short-term anxiety into long-term political gain. Yet with a gallon of gasoline averaging more than $4 in early April, the normal deafening chorus from the environmental movement has fallen to a dull murmur – even in…

After years of delays, lawsuits, and political roadblocks, the groundbreaking of the Northeast Supply Enhancement (NESE) pipeline marks a long-overdue shift back toward energy reality in the Northeast. Supported by the Trump administration, the project aims to supply much-needed natural gas to New York City and nearby areas. Since 2013, natural gas demand in the northeast has grown by nearly 50%, but pipeline capacity has increased by only 26% and storage capacity by just 2%. This gap has real effects: higher energy bills, strained reliability, and increased vulnerability during extreme winter weather. The New York Post reports, “The NESE Project is designed…

As the Trump Administration meets with oil and gas CEOs to discuss lowering gas prices, there’s a growing question that can’t be ignored: Who is working just as aggressively to stop it? Green groups have filed over 600 lawsuits targeting energy policies and projects. These efforts are not isolated; they form a coordinated strategy to challenge nearly every aspect of an energy agenda focused on increasing supply and lowering costs. Organizations like the Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, and Earthjustice openly tout their litigation records. NRDC alone has reported suing the administration more than 160 times, including efforts that helped…

The White House today made a great stride toward fixing one of Washington’s most persistent bottlenecks: slow, outdated permitting that holds back American energy and infrastructure. With the launch of the Permitting Innovators program, the Council on Environmental Quality is following President Trump’s lead by doing something unheard of to the prior administration: involving those who build, employ, and provide opportunity to engage in a productive process for the benefit of all Americans. This effort recognizes a simple reality: the technology already exists or is within reach to make permitting faster, smarter, and more efficient. The problem has been a lack…

The ongoing war involving Iran and disruptions through the Strait of Hormuz are sending a clear signal to global markets: when supply is threatened, the world turns to the United States because of American Energy Dominance. Demand for U.S. oil is now surging toward record levels, with exports climbing toward 5 million barrels per day as buyers, especially in Asia, scramble for reliable alternatives. This is the direct result of American energy dominance. For years, critics argued that producing more energy at home was unnecessary or even harmful. But today’s reality tells a different story. Because the U.S. invested in domestic…

Electric vehicles are considered the future; that’s the message Americans have been hearing for years. However, a recent Wall Street Journal reader survey meant to guide new EV buyers tells a very different story. Instead of a confident roadmap for making the switch, it reads more like a cautionary tale. To be fair, some readers praised EVs for their smooth driving. But buried within the advice are the kinds of caveats that should give any prospective buyer pause. Take the first “tip”: figure out how much EV you actually need. That sounds reasonable until you realize what it really means….

Volkswagen’s decision to stop production of the ID.4 electric crossover at its Chattanooga, Tennessee, plant is the latest sign that the push toward electric vehicles is meeting real-world challenges. Once considered a key part of VW’s bold plan for an all-electric future, the ID.4 now joins a growing list of EV programs being scaled back as automakers adjust to meet actual consumer demand. Volkswagen is shifting production back to its gas-powered Atlas SUV. While the company stressed that no jobs will be lost and workers will be reassigned, the overall message is clear: even major automakers realize that EV adoption…

America’s energy debate is finally receiving a much-needed dose of reality. In a recent interview, Energy Secretary Chris Wright didn’t hold back, warning that poor energy policies, like those of the Biden administration, will have repercussions. “If you get energy wrong, you destroy your society,” Wright said. A stark reminder of just how crucial reliable energy is to economic stability and daily life. Fox News reports, “Another reason I think President Trump won, you know, the Biden administration literally wanted to drive our energy system into the ditch,” he added. “Just outrageous. We, fortunately, pivoted before too much deep damage. But…
