Another one bites the dust. Ford is reportedly considering killing off the electric F-150 Lightning, the truck once hyped as a “smartphone that can tow” and hailed by the Biden administration as proof that America’s “green transition” was inevitable. Now it’s just another casualty in the long list of taxpayer-funded energy fantasies that couldn’t survive contact with reality. After $13 billion in EV losses since 2023, Ford is finally facing the truth every energy worker already knew: electric vehicles don’t work without government subsidies. When Ford launched the Lightning, executives promised a pickup that could haul like an F-150, drive hundreds of…

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…

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…

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…

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…
