Washington, D.C. - After President-elect Donald Trump announced his nomination of Chris Wright for Secretary of Energy, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future, issued the following statement:
“Alongside Doug Burgum and Lee Zeldin, Chris Wright completes a powerful trifecta of accomplished and experienced individuals poised to deliver American energy dominance. Having spent more than three decades as a leading innovator in the oil and gas industry, Mr. Wright understands that American resources can and should be developed responsibly and affordably here at home. Fulfilling the campaign promises to lower costs, ease inflation and make our country more secure starts by reversing the failed Biden-Harris energy policy, and with his early Cabinet choices, President-elect Trump is off to a strong start.”
Washington, D.C. - Today, Daniel Turner, Executive Director and Founder of Power The Future, praised the nomination of former U.S. Representative Lee Zeldin to serve as administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):
“As a conservative fighter from deep blue New York, Lee Zeldin knows how to win in the toughest political terrain. There is no greater priority for the incoming administration than rolling back the maze of regulations and red tape imposed by the Biden Administration on America’s energy producers.
Washington, D.C. - After Americans resoundingly voted for a new direction on energy policy, Power The Future today released a strategic five-point plan to reverse the failures of the Biden-Harris administration that fueled record gasoline prices and the highest inflation in decades.
These five actions include:
Rescinding every Biden anti-energy executive order - The Biden-Harris administration ruled through executive orders. Specifically, executive orders cancelling the Keystone XL pipeline and re-joining the failed Paris Climate accords. These, and many others, should be rescinded on the first day.

Washington, D.C. - After this week’s widespread rejection of the Biden-Harris Administration, Power The Future is calling on any taxpayer-funded employee traveling to the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC – better known as COP29 – to do so on their own dime.
This year’s conference is taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan – more than 6,000 miles from Washington D.C., requiring 2.67 metric tons of carbon for a round-trip flight.
Washington, D.C. - With energy on the ballot in the 2024 election, voters across the country resoundingly voted for American energy dominance. At the top of the ticket, President Donald Trump won the key energy state of Pennsylvania and the White House along with it. Meanwhile, voters in West Virginia and Ohio approved of new Senators who support an America First energy policy. In response, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future issued the following statement:
“Our long national nightmare with the Green New Deal is finally over because energy was on the ballot in 2024, and energy won. On day one, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris fired thousands of Keystone XL workers and thankfully starting in January it’s this administration that will be unemployed.
Washington, D.C. - In another blow to American workers, Ford announcedit will idle the Michigan plant responsible for manufacturing the electric F-150. According to reports, the plant is expected to cease operations later this month and impact 750-800 workers. During her time in office, Vice President Kamala Harris constantly pushed for electric vehicles, particularly by casting the tie-breaking vote for the controversial Inflation Reduction Act while claiming she “brought manufacturing back to America.”
Albuquerque – Energy was a big part of the conversation today as thousands of New Mexicans greeted former President Donald Trump during a campaign stop in Albuquerque. As the second largest producer of oil in the United States, and with energy revenue making up around 35 percent of the state budget, the issue is front and center for the Land of Enchantment. In response, Larry Behrens, Communications Director for Power The Future, issued the following statement:
