With Americans still feeling the pressure of inflation, high prices at the gas pump have become even more devastating.  Despite being the seventh largest producer of crude oil in the United States, California boasts the second-highest average cost per gallon of gas in the nation.  Additionally, in a petition from the American Petroleum Institute sent to the Supreme Court in 2023, which asked to overturn the overshore fracking moratorium, it was estimated that there are 10 billion barrels of...

On August 6, 2024, Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her vice presidential running mate. As a Congressman representing Minnesota’s First District, and more recently as Governor of the State of Minnesota, Walz has consistently pursued policies that threaten the ability of people to access affordable and reliable energy.

In 2009, Walz backed the Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade bill that would...

The Biden-Harris administration announced plans to phase out the use of single-use plastics from all federal operations by 2035, as part of its strategy to deal with plastic pollution. While this falls short of Vice-President Harris's pledge to ban all single use plastics , it indicates she is serious about moving in that direction.

Tim Walz, V.P. Kamala Harris’s choice as her vice presidential running mate and Governor of Minnesota, has one of the most extreme state-level records on “clean energy” in the United States, rivaling Governor Newsom in California. In 2023, Walz signed into law a target for Minnesota to get 100 percent of its power from zero-carbon sources  by 2040, having signed legislation prioritizing the creation of “greener” plants in areas that previously featured fossil-fuel plants.  Coal has...

But it would be a stretch to say Curtis enjoys complete support from the energy industry.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ choice Tuesday of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate is spiking enthusiasm among climate-focused progressives — and fossil fuel supporters backing former President Donald Trump.

Walz, a 60-year-old former school teacher and football coach with military experience, has a long energy record that is under renewed scrutiny from both the right and left.

But the same Walz energy policies that are animating the left have Trump allies...
