  • Scorecard

The American Energy Alliance supports H.R. 1023 the Cutting Green Corruption and Taxes Act, H.R. 7023 the Creating Confidence in Clean Water Permitting Act, H. Res. 987 opposing the Biden Administration energy policies, and H. Con. Res. 86 a resolution opposing a carbon tax.

H.R. 1023 would repeal the so-called greenhouse gas reduction fund. This slush fund is a vehicle for handouts and payoffs to special interest groups that have the right politics. It is not an appropriate use of...

WASHINGTON DC (03/21/2024) – The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee is holding a confirmation hearing today on three new nominees to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

While we know little about two of the nominees, David Rosner and...

AEA Statement on EPA's Gas-Powered Vehicle Ban

WASHINGTON DC (03/20/2024) – Today, the Biden administration finalized a gas-powered vehicle ban that aims to remake the transportation sector and fundamentally upend the American way of life. The regulation mandates electric vehicle adoption by requiring 67 percent of new light-duty and 46 percent of new medium-duty vehicle sales to be EVs by 2032. It will also increase America’s reliance on China for the critical minerals – such as lithium, cobalt, and manganese – required in...

AEA Statement on Energy Week
WASHINGTON DC (03/20/2024) – As House Republicans bring a series of bills to the floor aimed at increasing domestic energy production and reducing energy costs for Americans, the Biden Administration moves another step closer this week to forcing the auto industry to shift exclusively to electric vehicles, another in the more than 200 actions the Biden Administration and congressional Democrats have taken to make energy harder to produce and more expensive to purchase in the U.S. AEA...

The cost to consumers of two offshore wind projects expected to support New York’s self-imposed climate goals has more than doubled from their original estimates, which were high to begin with. Developers had threatened to cancel their offshore wind projects without higher prices, citing inflation, supply chain challenges and rising costs driven by the pandemic, Bidenomics and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The agreements, which still need to be finalized, are expected to keep  1,700...

Supposedly, the reason for switching to electric vehicles from gasoline-powered vehicles is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by using less gasoline and thus oil. However, a country that was way ahead of the United States in the transition to electric vehicles found that its oil demand did not decline from EV use despite electric vehicles making up 64 percent  of new car sales and despite thousands of dollars in annually recurring subsidies. In fact, Norway’s ownership and use of...

In 2014, California state legislators passed a law banning single-use plastic bags to reduce the amount of discarded plastic and to limit emissions resulting from their production. Californians, however, are now tossing more pounds of plastic bags than before the legislation was passed. A report by the consumer advocacy group CALPIRG  found the tonnage of discarded bags rose from 4.08 per 1,000 people in 2014 to 5.89 per 1,000 people in 2021—a record high. The actual tonnage of...
