President Biden and his administration do not want to mine American-owned minerals on public lands . Rather, Biden wants to use American taxpayer funds. The Department of Defense asked Congress to let it fund facilities in these countries that process strategic minerals used to make electric vehicles and weapons. Existing law does not allow Defense Production Act funds from being used to dig new mines, but they can be used for processing equipment, feasibility studies and “upgrades” to...

Americans can expect to see electricity shortages this summer as traditional power plants are being retired more quickly than they can be replaced by renewable energy and their required battery storage, the electric grid’s independent system operators warn. Power grids are straining as conventional power plants fueled by coal and nuclear are being retired for intermittent forms of energy such as wind and solar power  that need back up from traditional plants or from battery storage.

• More on who is behind "price gouging"

When someone tells you who they are believe them the first time.

In over 400 days of the Biden administration, President Biden has not held any legally mandated oil and gas onshore lease sales on Federal lands, and the only single offshore lease sale was invalidated by a federal judge, claiming that the sale did not appropriately consider climate change. The Biden administration has yet to challenge that court decision. Further, the Interior Department just announced it will  not...

The American Energy Alliance urges all members to oppose H.R. 7688, the Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act. This legislation claims to address an imaginary problem by giving the President of the United States unilateral power to set prices and harass small businesses based on a vague idea of "unconscionably excessive" gas prices.

WASHINGTON D.C. (May 19, 2022) This week, Democrats in the House of Representatives will try to misdirect voters about the source of high energy prices. Rather than taking on the policies of the Biden administration, which are the actual cause of more expensive energy, the House will take up legislation about a phantom cause: “price gouging.” The bill, H.R. 7688, is named the “Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act,” and it would give the President vast powers to set price...

Is now the right time to increase energy prices with a new tax on energy?

Despite the fact that inflation is the highest it’s been in forty years and the U.S. economy contracted in the first quarter of 2022, Republican Senators Kevin Cramer, Lindsey Graham, and Bill Cassidy apparently think so.  They’re plotting with Democrat Senators Joe Manchin, Chris Coons, and Sheldon Whitehouse (who’s never met an energy tax he didn’t like) to push for a new “carbon border adjustment”.

On this episode of the Unregulated Podcast, Tom Pyle and Mike McKenna discuss the latest headlines out of Washington.
