It’s time for grown-ups to start handling energy policy in your administration.

The American Energy Alliance, the country’s premier pro-consumer, pro-taxpayer, and free-market energy organization, has a direct message for President Joe Biden as we await his comments on the blatant act of military aggression against Ukraine by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

AEA President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement:

Futures of Brent oil were up more than 4 percent at $97.70 per barrel  early this week and West Texas Intermediate oil also increased nearly 4 percent to $94.67 per barrel, after Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered troops into the Donetsk and Luhansk separatist regions of Ukraine, indicating Russia would recognize their independence. In response to Putin’s action, Germany suspended the approval process for the Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline from Russia and the United States and...

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon: “Mr. Biden, tear up your energy policy. Let Wyoming power our country.”

The White House and top Democratic lawmakers are considering a federal gasoline tax holiday , potentially pausing fees at the pump to help combat rising gasoline prices. The hypocrisy of that move is almost laughable given that it is President Biden’s energy policies that are causing the high gasoline prices. It is Biden on his first day in office canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline....

The White House unveiled a framework to provide $5 billion  to states to expand their electric vehicle charging networks toward President Biden’s promise to build 500,000 charging stations by the end of the decade to help achieve his goal of having half of all new vehicle sales by 2030 be electric. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has asked the states to provide plans to the federal government before receiving the money. The framework calls on states to prioritize building charging...

According to The New York Times, President Biden is imposing a tariff of between 14 percent and 15 percent for the next four years on imported crystalline silicon solar products, but his administration at the same time doubled  the amount of solar cells that can come into the country without facing tariffs to 5 gigawatts and exempted bifacial solar panels from the levies “to help ensure that solar deployment in the United States continues at the pace and scale needed to meet the...

If you thought that the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill passed by Congress last year would fix America’s roads and bridges, think again. Only $40 billion in the bill is allocated to roads and bridges with just $26.5 billion for fixing the nation’s bridges. The $40 billion is a pittance compared to the $156 billion  for mass transit and rail that the bill funds despite low ridership that was made even worse than normal due to the coronavirus pandemic. People are afraid to be confined in...

China’s low-carbon goals should not come at the expense of energy and food security or the “normal life” of ordinary people, according to its president, Xi Jinping, signaling a cautious approach to the Paris agreement and COP26 pledges to reduce emissions. China is the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gases. It sees pledges to reduce carbon dioxide emissions as a risk to jobs and economic growth, something they have prioritized. Xi was quoted as saying , “Reducing emissions is...

The American Energy Alliance urges all members to oppose H.R. 4521 the vehicle for the America COMPETES Act. While some parts of this legislation, especially those focused on China's human rights violations, may be laudable, the larger package hijacks these important issues in an attempt to jam through significant green spending that could not pass through the normal legislative process.

The billions of dollars for the so-called Green Climate Fund are especially egregious. US taxpayer...
