AEA President Thomas Pyle, and founding member of the Save Our Cars Coalition, issued the following statement:

President Biden’s push for renewable energy in the generating sector and the billions that Biden and philanthropists like Michael Bloomberg are spending to rid the U.S. of coal plants and to drastically reduce natural gas plants will destabilize the U.S. electric power grid, damaging transformers and causing long-term outages, experts say.  Michael Bloomberg pledged $500 million  in September toward shifting electricity production in the United States to wind and solar energy and shutting...

Biden’s Department of Energy (DOE) has increased the time it takes to review a permit for exporting LNG from 7 weeks to a minimum of 11 months.

Today, Senators Cassidy and Graham introduced a carbon tax on imports from high-greenhouse gas emitting countries. We have some questions for the Senators:

1. Why do you support a carbon tax? Or do you only support a carbon tax on China, but not on U.S. producers?

3. Europe’s manufacturing sector is contracting . Why do you want to follow Europe’s energy policy which has led to higher energy prices in Europe and...
