Why This Oil Price Spike Won’t Last

March 12, 2026

Gas prices jumped over the past week, and they’re already starting to come back down. That’s not a coincidence. It’s what happens when the underlying energy foundation is sound. Before that story gets buried, here are the facts. In 2022, prices stayed elevated for months leading up to and after Russia invaded Ukraine, not simply because of the war, but because the Biden administration had already broken America’s supply response mechanism. Blocked federal leases, canceled pipelines, threatened energy executives with criminal prosecution, and drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to its lowest level since 1983. When the shock hit, America had no…

March 12, 2026

The hype around electric vehicles that has filled headlines for years is facing economic reality. The latest example is Honda, which is canceling the launch and development of certain EV models after demand in North America failed to meet expectations. The company now expects its first annual loss in decades, projecting a net loss of between $2.8 billion and $4.6 billion for the fiscal year ending March 31. Honda isn’t the only one. The Wall Street Journal reports, “Jeep maker Stellantis said in February it would book charges of about $26 billion. Ford took a $19.5 billion hit in December, while General…

The project, led by America First Refining, marks a historic investment in America’s energy future and a significant step toward restoring our energy sector.

New York’s Climate Law Meets Reality: And Ratepayers Are Paying the Price

March 6, 2026

New Yorkers are facing some of the highest electricity prices in the country, and even state leaders are beginning to acknowledge that the state’s sweeping climate mandates may be part of the problem. A recent report highlights residents struggling with soaring utility bills, with many households paying more than $400 per month for electricity. The affordability crisis has now reached Albany, where lawmakers and Governor Kathy Hochul are debating whether the state’s landmark 2019 climate law needs to be revised. The law set ambitious targets: 70 percent renewable electricity by 2030 and a fully carbon-free grid by 2040. But state officials now…


Trump’s Ratepayer Protection Pledge Protects Families While Powering America’s AI Future

March 5, 2026

America is in the midst of a technological shift. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasing electricity demand. Data centers supporting these technologies consume vast amounts of energy, and without careful planning, this demand could strain the electric grid and lead to higher electricity prices for families. Fortunately, President Trump is taking action to ensure that doesn’t happen. This week, the administration announced a new Ratepayer Protection Pledge (RPP). Which is an agreement with major American technology companies designed to protect households from higher power bills while allowing the United States to remain the global technology leader. Under the pledge, companies building or expanding…


Energy Champion of the Month: Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen

March 4, 2026

While some politicians talk about defending American energy, Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen is actually doing it. At a time when eco-left activists and foreign-funded organizations are working overtime to shut down American energy production, Knudsen has become one of the strongest voices supporting energy workers and the communities that rely on them. Montana is an energy powerhouse, home to the nation’s largest recoverable coal reserves. But resources alone don’t guarantee success. It takes leaders willing to stand up for the right to develop them responsibly. Attorney General Knudsen has repeatedly proven he is ready to take that fight head-on….


The True Architect of California’s High Gas Prices: Gavin Newsom

March 4, 2026

California Governor Gavin Newsom is trying to blame President Trump for rising gas prices in the Golden State, pointing to U.S. strikes on Iran as the cause. But to understand the true reason gas prices are so high, Governor Newsom must examine his own policies. Less than a year ago, Newsom increased California’s already high gas tax. Drivers in the state pay about 70 cents per gallon in taxes alone, the highest gas tax in the country.  At the same time, Newsom’s aggressive environmental policies have pushed California’s energy infrastructure to its limits. Strict regulations and political pressure have led to refinery closures throughout…


What a Difference a President Makes: Energy Dominance Is Back

February 26, 2026

In his State of the Union address, President Trump laid out what Americans can see and feel after just one year of leadership. America’s energy dominance is back, and it didn’t require a miracle technology or a Green New Deal. It required leadership. During his address, President Trump put it plainly: “What a difference a president makes. A short time ago, we were a dead country. Now we are the hottest country anywhere in the world… American oil production is up by more than 600,000 barrels a day. American natural gas production is at an all-time high. Because I kept my…


Trump EPA Rolls Back Another Biden-Era Rule

February 25, 2026

Last week, at Kentucky’s Mills Creek Power Plant, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency finalized a major deregulatory action. EPA announced that it would repeal the Biden Administration’s 2024 amendments to the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS). The move restores the original 2012 standards while preventing costly new mandates. In announcing the rollback, EPA emphasized, “In today’s final action, EPA repealed the Biden Administration’s 2024 amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Coal- and Oil-Fired Electric Utility Steam Generating Units (EGUs) – a rule commonly known as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards for power plants, or simply MATS….


State of the Union: American Energy Dominance Wins

February 24, 2026

As President Trump prepares to address the nation tonight, one fact is already clear: the State of the Union for American energy is strong. Rather than apologizing for American energy, this administration embraced it. The results are measurable, the momentum is real, and tonight’s address comes at a moment when American energy is once again working for workers, families, and communities nationwide. “We are better off economically, stronger in our national security, and less dependent on our adversaries — and all it took was a new president,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “Just over one…
