REPORT: Environmentalist Tom Steyer Owns Stake In Oil Company

Billionaire and fledging presidential candidate Tom Steyer has billed himself as an environmentalist, advocating extreme policies that would undermine jobs, raise taxes and decimate America’s energy economy. But a new report is raising questions as to how committed Steyer is to his eco-credentials, and it threatens to tarnish his standing on the eco-left. Bloomberg is reporting that, according to recently disclosed financial documents, Steyer owns a stake in Direct Petroleum Exploration Inc, a “company involved in oil production.” This “could prove troublesome because the former hedge fund manager has put climate change at the center of his campaign and is among the 18…

The Fall Of The Great Tom Steyer

Billionaire Tom Steyer had high hopes for his ability to exercise his influence on politics when he launched his front group, NextGen America, in 2013. But despite hundreds of millions of dollars, the hypocrisy-ridden billionaire has failed at nearly every one of his goals. First, he tried to buy elections and referendums by installing allied candidates into office and funding ballot initiatives that would spread his eco-worldview. In 2016 and 2018, Steyer tried to force extreme carbon taxes on the people of Washington. One of the initiatives would have raised energy costs on households by increasing net energy costs to $990, damaged the economy by…

Looks Like Eco-Hypocrite Tom Steyer Is On Track To Miss Next Dem Debate

Despite plowing $100 million in cash into his presidential bid, California billionaire Tom Steyer appears to have fallen short of his goal to make the next Democrat debate. CNN reports that Steyer failed to hit two-percent in new polling, meaning that he likely won’t make the cut for the next debate. “Tom Steyer’s strategy did not appear to pay off,” CNN explains. “The billionaire hedge-fund founder plowed millions of dollars into television and social media ads to promote his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, but he failed to register a minimum of 2 percentage points in two polls released Wednesday morning.” It’s no surprise that…

Tom Steyer’s Eco-Extremist Message Not Resonating

Billionaire Tom Steyer jumped into the 2020 Presidential race last month, pledging to spend $100 million on his campaign. So far, it seems Steyer’s far-left environmental ideas aren’t catching on. Despite spending millions in cash, and “crushing” the field on Facebook ads – Steyer failed to make the last series of Presidential debates. And he’s barely registering in the polls. Florida Politics reports that Steyer is at one percent nationally. Why aren’t Steyer’s ideas catching? It’s likely because his eco-message is unpopular and flawed. Steyer has a history of supporting extreme eco-measures, such as carbon taxes in Washington state and a renewable energy mandate…

Tom Steyer Will Abandon Democracy To Force His Eco-Agenda

Eco-billionaire and now 2020 Presidential candidate Tom Steyer is pledging to abandon democracy and force through his eco-agenda without Congress if he becomes president, according to his own comments yesterday as he rolled out his new climate plan. Steyer has worked for years to influence elections – in 2016, he was the largest individual Democrat donor, pouring $91.1 million into various left-wing causes and candidates. In 2018, he spent over $22 million on failed eco-ballot initiatives in Arizona and Washington. From “Need to Impeach” to a carbon tax in Washington State to costly eco-mandates in Arizona, nearly every Tom Steyer campaign has failed. Now,…

Tom Steyer’s Connection To Alaska (Hint: It Isn’t Positive)

With Tuesday’s announcement that San Francisco-based hedge fund founder – and multi-billionaire – Tom Steyer has thrown his hat into the Presidential race, I started thinking about the damage this man would do to Alaska if he won. Let’s start with his hatred for fossil fuels – and the millions of dollars he’s put behind candidates who share his extremist beliefs.  That should have every Alaskan who is directly or indirectly benefiting from our state’s responsible resource development rejecting a Steyer presidential run. Along those same lines, Steyer’s hypocrisy regarding fossil fuels is laughable, because it was his investment in…

It’s True: Eco-Extremist Tom Steyer Announces Presidential Bid

“It’s true,” exclaimed eco-extremist and billionaire Tom Steyer on Twitter, “I’m running for President.” It’s the Presidential campaign announcement no one wanted. Power The Future has worked hard to show the hypocrisy of Tom Steyer and the dangerous eco-policies that he wants to force on America. The billionaire has committed his fortune to failed eco-ballot initiatives in states like Washington and Arizona. Through NextGen America, one of his political groups, Steyer worked to pass costly renewable energy mandates and carbon taxes which voters handily rejected. In May, Power The Future delved into NextGen America and exposed them as a Steyer front group…

Report: Eco-Extremist Tom Steyer Again Plotting Presidential Campaign

In January, billionaire and environmentalist extremist Tom Steyer declared that he would forgo a widely-expected 2020 bid for President, instead promising to funnel more cash to his political groups, NextGen America and Need to Impeach. Steyer poured cash into failed eco-ballot initiatives in states like Washington and Arizona. Through NextGen America, Steyer worked to pass costly renewable energy mandates and carbon taxes which voters handily rejected. In May, Power The Future delved into NextGen America and exposed them as a Steyer front group intended to push his extreme eco-worldview. You can read our examination of the group here. If you thought…

What Happens When A Power Plant Shuts Its Doors?

For eco-activist groups, shutting down power plants is the ultimate goal. But what happens when they succeed and a plant in a rural town shuts down? Disaster strikes. The Washington Post this week shed light on this tragic situation, profiling what happened during the past year in Adams County, Ohio, which saw two coal plants shut down last May. Before closing, the plants provided 700 high-paying jobs. The Washington Post explains that the plant closures were devastating. “But in places like Adams County, with a population of about 28,000 and already one of the poorest corners of Ohio, the death of a coal plant also can…
