WASHINGTON DC (09/14/2023) – Today, the House passed H.R. 1435, the Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act, by a vote of 222-190. H.R. 1435 prevents states like California – or any other state – from banning internal combustion vehicles. The CA waiver authority in the Clean Air Act was never intended to give regulators the ability to ban gas-powered cars and trucks. This measure simply reinforces that position.

The American Energy Alliance supports H.R. 1435 the Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act which would limit the ability of California regulators to restrict the type of vehicles that Americans can purchase.

Neither the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) which established fuel economy standards, nor the Clean Air Act (CAA) which regulates vehicle tailpipe emissions gives California, or any state, the authority to ban certain types of cars. In fact, both EPCA and the CAA...

WASHINGTON DC (09/12/2023) – The American Energy Alliance has proudly joined the Save Our Cars Coalition along with 31 other national or state-based organizations. The coalition will fight to preserve and expand consumer choice in the selection of cars and trucks and ensure that all Americans will continue to benefit from them, as they have for more than a hundred years.

The Energy Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) asked consumers to conserve electricity again on August 27 as the state was impacted by a persistent heat wave as well as low wind power and solar generation. Texas is the number one producer of wind energy in the country and the second largest producer of solar energy —both politically correct power sources, according to the Biden administration. More conservation appeals were made in the following days. The fragility of the Texas grid was...

WASHINGTON DC (09/07/2023) – Despite rising gasoline prices, the Department of Interior canceled the seven remaining oil and gas leases in Alaska’s Arctic Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), estimated to hold over 10 billion barrels of oil. The leases were awarded to the Alaska Industrial Development and Export Authority, the state-owned economic development agency, in 2021 under President Trump. Additionally, the Administration will no longer allow new lease sales in Alaska’s National Petroleum...

The first-ever offshore wind lease sale in the Gulf of Mexico attracted only one bid, yet the Biden administration called it a victory. The auction of offshore wind development rights in the Gulf of Mexico ended with a single $5.6 million winning bid, reflecting meager demand despite the productivity of oil and gas production in the region. Germany’s RWE won rights to 102,480 acres  off Louisiana, while the other two lease areas on offer off Texas received no bids, according to U.S....

The Biden White House is worried about gas prices now that a number of states have prices over $4 a gallon. Because high gas prices agitate voters, the White House is in discussion with Venezuela again to get Maduro to agree to run “free elections” in return for removing oil sanctions that would put more oil on the global market, thereby reducing oil and gasoline prices. His administration is also in talks with Iran, and that country has been ramping up exports . Biden could easily get...
