Michael Bloomberg Gave In to the Eco-Left

Entering the Democratic presidential primary, Michael Bloomberg believed that climate change would be one of his greatest strengths on the campaign trail. Bloomberg entered the race touting the millions of dollars he spent to help close hundreds of coal-fired power plants, and put thousands of Americans out of work, in an effort to transition to natural gas. But, for the eco-left, even that is not enough. As the New York Times reports: But that transition, once considered a bragging right in the environmental world, has become a liability to his campaign at a moment when the only acceptable fossil fuel…

Michael Bloomberg and the New Mexico Politicians Who Love His Money

On Thursday, the political world woke up to learn Michael Bloomberg’s debate performance was less than stellar. The former New York City mayor was skewered by the other candidates and we wonder if the New Mexico politicians who have championed Bloomberg, and his money, are feeling a little awkward today. Attorney General Hector Balderas has two lawyers on staff who are bought and paid for, not by New Mexico’s taxpayers, but by Bloomberg. Balderas’ office has called the arrangement business as usual even as more and more question the ethics behind it. Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller continues to be a…

Another Enemy Of Coal Set To Enter 2020 Presidential Race

It was reported yesterday that former NY Mayor, Michael Bloomberg, was actively trying to qualify for the primary in Alabama, which has an early filing deadline.  The New York Times notes: Mr. Bloomberg has prepared to enter presidential races before, in 2016 and then earlier this year, only to pull back in the end. Yet in those flirtations with the presidency, Mr. Bloomberg has never taken the step of filing to put his name on a state ballot. … In a Democratic race, Mr. Bloomberg would face a battery of complicated questions about his political ideology and governing record. He has…

Michael Bloomberg Releases Vanity Ad For His “Beyond Carbon” Campaign

Earlier this year, New York billionaire Michael Bloomberg announced that he would pour half a billion dollars into what he called his “Beyond Carbon” campaign. Bloomberg’s goal is to move beyond his earlier pledge to eliminate coal and the tens of thousands of jobs the industry provides, and now pivot to natural gas and oil. Through his partnership with the Sierra Club, he would throw hundreds of thousands of workers out of a job. He would decimate American energy independence and force us to rely once again on foreign energy. But what is Bloomberg actually doing to achieve his dangerous…

Bloomberg-Funded Eco-Town Admits Defeat

Georgetown, Texas gained fame last year for committing to 100% renewable energy. They even got Michael Bloomberg in on the action, with Bloomberg philanthropies agreeing to fund the city with a $1 million grant. But as is the case with implementing extreme eco-policy, it never works. The project was a complete disaster, and now it’s officially over, with the city council voting unanimously to end the project. As Fox News explains, Georgetown, Texas’ plan was to “generate all of its electricity from wind and solar power.” It gained national attention because of the city’s location in oil-rich Texas, and because the town was Republican….

While States Move to Kick Out Michael Bloomberg’s Money, New Mexico Continues To Take the Cash

Michael Bloomberg’s controversial arrangement that is “not unusual” in New Mexico is drawing fire other parts of the country. Power The Future was able to uncover the documents showing the New York billionaire is paying the salaries of two lawyers in the New Mexico Attorney General’s office. Under the arrangement, Bloomberg pays New York University who then sends the attorneys to friendly offices all over the country to advance Bloomberg’s radical agenda. The practice was blasted by both the Albuquerque Journal and the Wall Street Journal. Now, State Senator Mary Kiffmeyer from Minnesota is asking tough questions of her own AG. In…

Public Offices for Sale in New Mexico

For all the whining about “out-of-state billionaires” that emanate from the eco-left you would think they would be outraged about this insider deal. However, when the out-of- state billionaire is Michael Bloomberg and the money is being used to buy lawyers at the state’s Attorney General office, it’s just business as usual in New Mexico. The Albuquerque Journal published a front-page story on Monday highlighting documents uncovered by Power The Future which exposed the Bloomberg arrangement in New Mexico. Attorneys promise to fight for Bloomberg’s agenda and are then placed in friendly Attorney General’s offices where they are given power…

President Trump Unveils New Policy To Help Coal Workers

Coal miners are a priority under President Donald Trump. That’s the message the Trump administration is delivering, and according to USA Today, the President is keeping his “signature campaign promise to boost the coal industry.” Today, the White House is expected to unveil a new policy called the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) Rule, which would give states more authority to promote “affordable, clean and reliable energy for all Americans.” In effect, the Trump administration wants to unshackle states from unnecessary regulations. This is a welcome change from the disastrous Obama administration and their war on coal. Under Obama and Biden, 83,000 coal miners lost their…

Albuquerque Gets In Line for Michael Bloomberg’s Cash

Apparently, the Big Apple isn’t big enough. The City of Albuquerque decided to cede its energy future to the controversial former mayor of New York City earlier this week. In an announcement that didn’t make it far beyond the choir of the green church, Albuquerque’s Mayor Tim Keller announced the city is fully on board with Bloomberg’s Beyond Carbon plan which means the Duke City plans to be 100% renewable in just five years. Oddly, the announcement appears no where on the official city press site. Usually, the key part to any announcement is the…announcing. Why is that not the…

West Virginia Governor Blasts Michael Bloomberg As A “Bubble Boy” For Trying To Destroy Coal Jobs While Living in Luxury

Coal workers won’t go down without a fight. That’s the message from West Virginia Governor Jim Justice after Michael Bloomberg pledged to donate $500 million over the next three years to destroy every single coal job in America. Justice, together with leaders from West Virginia’s energy industry, blasted Bloomberg in a press conference yesterday. “If (Bloomberg) is successful … we’re back in the dark ages,” Justice said. “We cannot afford this level of attack on us. This single-handedly destroys West Virginia, our great coal mining families, our great pipeline people, our great oil and gas people, everything,” the Governor continued. Governor Justice…
