"President Obama has never failed to deliver a good speech, and tonight was no different.

WASHINGTON – American Energy Alliance President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement on the omnibus spending bill:

"This lopsided deal is an enormous giveaway to big business and special interests.

WASHINGTON -- American Energy Alliance President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement on the Paris climate deal:

"Just like each one before it, this climate agreement is unenforceable, underfunded, and non-binding. There is nothing historic about this deal.

ICYMI: Yesterday, AEA President Tom Pyle penned an op-ed on National Review Online explaining why states must utilize all three branches of government to prevent EPA from imposing President Obama's carbon regulation. Below is an excerpt from the piece:

The most effective way for a state to protect its citizens is for the governor to refrain from submitting a state implementation plan before there is legal resolution — the "do no harm" approach. This will help send a clear signal to...
