New Mexico Governor Considers Escape From Biden’s Fracking Rules

Last week, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham was the first to raise the idea of a state seeking a waiver from Joe Biden’s fracking ban if he’s elected. Yes, this the same Governor who was on Joe Biden’s shortlist for VP. And yes, it’s the same Governor who was just appointed to a role on Biden’s transition team.  To put it plainly, one of Biden’s biggest supporters wants to escape his energy plan. Make no mistake, a waiver from Biden’s fracking ban definitely qualifies as an escape. Energy-rich states like Pennsylvania, Louisiana, and New Mexico all stand to lose…

Biden’s Climate Plan Would Kill Millions of Blue-Collar Energy Worker Jobs

Joe Biden has flip-flopped on his energy promises repeatedly. Back in March at a Democratic primary debate, Biden voiced his support to ban the fracking industry. His campaign later issued a retraction on his statement, and he now claims to not want to tear down the industry that his party and appointed climate task force advisors are so outspoken and adamant about dismantling.  Biden’s aggressive $2 trillion climate plan states there will be no new drilling permits on federal lands or waters, with a goal of fully switching over to renewables to achieve a 100% clean energy economy and net-zero…

Biden’s Proposed Fracking Ban on Federal Lands and Waters Would Cause 1 Million Jobs Losses In 2022

Joe Biden has flip-flopped on his energy stance time and time again. The most controversial component of his aggressive $2 trillion climate plan is the ban on new oil and gas leases on federal lands and waters. While Biden has claimed he is not for an outright ban on the industry as a whole, industry leaders are skeptical. Frank Macchiarola, senior vice president of policy, economics and regulatory affairs at the American Petroleum Institute, told FOX Business, “The United States has experienced essentially a generational shift in energy security, economic security, employment and CO2 emission reductions as a result of the shale revolution. A…

A Biden Presidency Would Have Extreme Consequences for the Oil and Gas Industry

Presidential nominee Joe Biden is no moderate when it comes to energy policy. Power the Future recently released a study on this covering his voting history, his rhetoric throughout nearly half a century in public office, and how the energy industry would be impacted under his watch. From 2001 to 2008, Biden voted for “pro-environment” policies 87 percent of the time. Compared to the other 33 Democratic senators in office during that time, only 8 received a higher ranking. Notably, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry both received lower ratings, of 80 percent and 76 percent, respectively. Biden has only become…

Joe Biden’s War on a Thriving Industry

In September, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said that he supports a total ban on fossil fuels. On his campaign website, it says that “The Biden Administration will take action against fossil fuel companies…” Biden doesn’t seem to realize that this would actually mean taking action against American workers, their families, and the economy. Last night, during the Democratic presidential debate, Biden reiterated his opposition to the natural gas and oil industry. The Washington Examiner reports: Joe Biden told a debate moderator during Thursday night’s Democratic debate that he’d be willing to sacrifice up to hundreds of thousands of jobs…

Report: Joe Biden’s Opposition To Fossil Fuels Could Cost Him Pennsylvania

Many on the left have argued that former Vice President Joe Biden is best positioned to take on Trump, and that he could flip Pennsylvania back into the liberal column in 2020. After all, they note, Biden’s campaign is headquartered in Pennsylvania. “Middle Class Joe” was born in Scranton, they point out. This view is more media spin than fiction, thanks to Biden’s recent conversion to eco-extremism. When asked during a recent CNN debate whether there would be “any place for fossil fuels…in a Biden administration,” Biden responded candidly. “No…we would make sure it’s eliminated,” he said. It’s an echo…

BIDEN FLIP-FLOP: The Former VP Says He Will Eliminate Coal And Fracking

It’s official, former Vice President Joe Biden has betrayed energy workers and voters in coal and fracking country. During last night’s Democratic Presidential debate, Biden pledged to eliminate coal and fracking if elected. Biden was asked if he would eliminate coal and fracking if elected president. His response? “We would make sure it’s eliminated and no more subsidies for either one of those.” This is a stunning betrayal. For years, Biden has presented himself as a friend of blue-collar workers, especially those in Pennsylvania, the state where he was born. His pledge to eliminate their jobs is a slap in the face…

Joe Biden Targets Alaska In His Embrace Of The Green New Deal

When Joe Biden first announced his run for President, he did so with talking points that seemed to suggest he was going to go against the grain of the typical 2020 Democratic hopefuls and run to the middle. Of course, with far-left politicians like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and organizations such as the Sunrise Movement gaining prominence, it was only a matter of time before Biden’s views on energy and the environment would come to mirror theirs. And that’s exactly what happened. After AOC and others belittled Biden for his “middle of the road” approach on the environment, Biden moved left, announcing today…

AOC Wins: Joe Biden Embraces The Green New Deal

Last month, we warned that Joe Biden was on the cusp of embracing the eco-agenda of the far-left. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had aimed her fire at Biden, blasting him for considering a “middle ground” environmental plan. Now, Joe Biden has officially caved to Ocasio-Cortez. After being slammed by his rivals for not speaking during a gathering of leftists in San Francisco over the weekend, Joe Biden decided to release his environmental plan this morning, and it’s a dream come true for Ocasio-Cortez and the eco-left. The Washington Post reports that Biden is “embracing the framework of the Green New Deal.” Biden’s plan, while short on details, is…

Greenpeace Issues Warning To Joe Biden: Join Us 

Former Vice President Joe Biden is expected to unveil an environmental plan any day now, and eco-groups are stepping up to warn Biden – join us or else. Last week, Power The Future discussed the eco-left’s efforts to force Biden to adopt the “Green New Deal” in a Fox News op-ed. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently slammed Biden for reportedly considering a “middle ground” environmental plan, saying that was a “dealbreaker” for her. We warned that the eco-left was trying to force Biden to move to the extreme left on energy issues, and it seemed to be working. Biden responded to Ocasio-Cortez by saying…
