The Trump administration has frozen federal grants for everything from battery factories to electric school buses and issued executive orders that have halted federal approvals for wind and solar projects. The freeze has not come a minute too soon as “clean” energy companies funded by Obama and Biden administration grants are dying on the vine. The latest is Canadian electric bus company Lion Electric, which was given almost $160 million  to manufacture battery-powered buses for school...

In its Short-Term Energy Outlook, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) is projecting 26 gigawatts of solar capacity to be added to the power grid this year and another 22 gigawatts of solar additions in 2026. That expected growth is down from the record 37 gigawatts of solar power capacity that was added in 2024 and may dwindle further as some analysts believe  that solar power may face Trump administration policies that will stagnate project development or continue it at a slower...

WASHINGTON DC (2/14/25) – This week the American Energy Alliance joined with over 50 free-market groups and organizations to urge Congress to scrap the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) Green New Deal provisions.

Our letter warns that IRA subsidies will push the U.S. away from reliable energy (natural gas, oil, and coal) toward unreliable sources (wind, solar), threatening grid stability and driving up costs.

The coalition makes clear that these policies undermine energy...

WASHINGTON DC (2/12/25) – On the heels of President Trump’s announcement aimed at eliminating the $7,500 federal tax credit for electric vehicle purchases, news broke last night that automakers have hit Capitol Hill to lobby against the tax credit’s termination.

The American Energy Alliance supports H.R. 26 the Protecting American Energy Production Act.

The process of hydraulic fracturing is a key production process for oil and gas development. It should not be subject to arbitrary, unilateral restrictions from a presidential administration. Any restrictions must be determined through the full constitutional legislative process. This legislation ensures that Congress will have its say on any such restrictions.

A YES vote on H.R. 26 is a vote...

Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company DeepSeek is challenging conclusions about future electricity demand from AI data centers. DeepSeek has produced an AI model that appears to use a smaller amount of energy than U.S. models , which has made some analysts indicate that the surging predictions of electricity demand from AI should be reevaluated. Since AI is set to drive the majority of electricity demand growth in the next decade, lower demand predictions from AI could affect the...

President Trump’s executive order on offshore wind, “Temporary Withdrawal of All Areas on the Outer Continental Shelf from Offshore Wind Leasing and Review of the Federal Government’s Leasing and Permitting Practices for Wind Projects,” is just one part of offshore wind’s troubles. According to Carboncredits.com : “over the past two years, the average cost of offshore wind projects has risen by 30% to 40%, reaching $230 per megawatt hour.” While it was already one of the most...
