American Energy Alliance Endorses Donald J. Trump for President

September 5, 2024 by Leave a Comment

WASHINGTON DC (9/5/24) – The American Energy Alliance (AEA), the country’s premier pro-consumer, pro-taxpayer, and free-market energy organization, is proud to endorse Donald J. Trump for President of the United States.

Click Here to Read AEA’s Endorsement Letter to President Donald Trump 

AEA President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement:

“There are two major candidates in the race for the presidency, and both of them have a record. One, Donald J. Trump, spent his entire four years in the White House breaking down federal barriers to domestic energy production and working tirelessly to lower energy costs for families and businesses. The other, Kamala Harris, has spent her entire political career – first as California Attorney General, then U.S. Senator, and now as Vice President – demonizing American oil and gas producers and using the full weight of each of her offices to promote policies that have increased energy costs on businesses and working families.

President Trump’s commitment to unleashing domestic energy production during his time in office helped lower energy costs for all Americans, created jobs, and promoted energy security. His regulatory agenda ensured that our economic prosperity wouldn’t be hindered by red tape while allowing the U.S. to lead the world in energy production. He encouraged the development of domestic oil and natural gas resources, revised rules to speed up approvals for energy and infrastructure projects, prioritized American workers and industries, and supported initiatives that gave states more flexibility in setting their own environmental standards.

As a candidate, Mr. Trump promotes an energy abundance strategy to foster American growth and opportunity. He is the only candidate who recognizes the important role that the responsible development of our natural resources plays in a strong economy.

In contrast, Kamala Harris’ entire political career has been about promoting the values of the Nancy Pelosi-Gavin Newsom San Francisco political machine. She has consistently favored policies that put the government in control of our energy future. She has demonized oil and gas producers, prioritized the demands of her wealthy environmental donors, and restricted output, all of which have provided few environmental benefits. Working and middle-class Americans can’t afford to keep paying the price for the Biden-Harris agenda. 

My mother always told me to judge people by their actions, not their words. None of candidate Harris’ recent flip-flopping on issues like banning fracking and mandating electric vehicles can erase her long standing embrace of the Green New Deal, which is a raw deal for American families.

AEA was one of the first national organizations to endorse President Trump in 2016 and we are pleased to do so again. I fully endorse President Trump in his reelection bid, and look forward to four more years of energy policies that put the American people first.”

American Energy Alliance Unveils 2024 American Energy Scorecard

September 4, 2024 by Leave a Comment

*This release contains an incomplete list of Senators who achived the rank of Energy Champion due to a tabulation error in both the calculations regarding H.J.Res.27, a joint resolution rejecting an expanded definition of “Waters of the United States” under federal law, and the six-year scores for the Senators’ full terms. This error resulted in inaccurate scores for the members of the U.S. Senate. We regret the error and have fixed the tabulation. A revised release can be found here. The updated Scorecard can be found on the AEA website.

WASHINGTON DC (9/4/24) – The American Energy Alliance (AEA) is pleased to release its newly redesigned 2024 American Energy Scorecard for the Senate and the House of Representatives. This comprehensive tool evaluates legislators’ voting records and cosponsorship decisions on critical energy issues in order to inform voters and hold Members of Congress accountable to their constituents.

 AEA President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement: 

“As we approach the upcoming election, voters deserve to know whether or not their elected officials support policies that promote domestic energy production and lead to affordable and reliable electricity and gasoline prices. The newly redesigned American Energy Scorecard empowers citizens to judge their elected representatives by their actions, not their words.

The American Energy Alliance applauds the American Energy Champions in both the House and Senate. These leaders are dedicated to advancing domestic energy production and ensuring affordable and reliable energy remains accessible to the American people and the rest of the world.”

Core Principles of the American Energy Scorecard:

  • Promoting affordable, abundant, and reliable energy.
  • Expanding economic opportunity and prosperity, particularly for working families and those on fixed incomes.
  • Empowering Americans to make their own energy choices, free from bureaucratic constraints.
  • Encouraging private sector innovation and entrepreneurship.
  • Advancing market-oriented energy and environmental policies.
  • Reducing government interference in energy markets.
  • Eliminating subsidies, mandates, and special interest giveaways that drive up energy costs.

Each member was given advance notice of the votes that would be scored, ensuring transparency and fairness. The scored votes covered a diverse range of energy issues affecting the American people.

*Senate: (Please see revised release for the 2024 class of Senate Energy Champions)

This year’s scorecard assessed seven votes from the senators serving in the 118th Congress. Unfortunately, only two senators achieved a 90% score, the minimum score AEA’s scorecard uses to classify a senator as an Energy Champion. No senators achieved a score of 100%.

The American Energy Champions in the Senate are:

  • Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)
  • Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) 

While AEA applauds the two members who achieved 90%, we must also note those in key races whose voting record was especially harmful to their districts. Of the many low-scoring senators, Senators John Tester of Montana (33%) and Bob Casey (50%) of Pennsylvania were especially noticeable given the important role energy plays within their states’ economies.  

Additionally, the following Senators scored 0%:

  • Sen. Laphonza Butler (D-CA)
  • Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY)

House of Representatives:

For the House of Representatives, the 2024 AEA Scorecard encompasses 21 pivotal votes from the 118th Congress. Notably, 90 House members achieved a perfect score of 100%, demonstrating unwavering commitment to the energy principles outlined by AEA.

AEA has recognized the following members of the House of Representatives as American Energy Champions for their outstanding performance on energy policy:

  • Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL)
  • Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC)
  • Rep. Andrew Ogles (R-TN)
  • Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA)

Mathew Cartwright (D-PA) at 5%, and Rep. Yadira Caraveo (D-CO) with 33% were especially noticeable given the important role energy production plays within their district.

Harris Reverses Course on Energy

August 30, 2024 by Leave a Comment

WASHINGTON DC (08/30/2024) – Last night, Vice President Kamala Harris gave her first sit-down interview since the Democratic Party supplanted her at the top of the national ticket. In the interview, Harris seemed to reverse many of her previous stances and actions on energy issues, stating she no longer supports mandating electric vehicles and has “evolved” on the question of banning fracking.

AEA President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement:

“I’m encouraged to see Vice President Harris disavow her record on energy, but there’s no need to wait until the election is over to start putting her money where her mouth is. As both Vice President and President of the Senate, she has the unique opportunity to take immediate action to demonstrate her sudden commitment to a common sense approach to energy policy.

For starters, she should immediately end the Biden-Harris pause on LNG export permits and remove the dozens of restrictions her administration has placed on oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters. As Congress reconvenes next week, she should direct Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, her fellow Democrat, to advance stalled legislation that would overturn her electric vehicle mandates. Additionally, she should ask him to push forward legislative efforts to deny California a waiver to ban gas-powered cars and trucks.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg, but it’s the least she can do to make good on her newly discovered pragmatism on energy policy. We look forward to supporting her in those efforts in the remaining months of her Vice Presidency.”

Kamala Harris On Energy, In Her Own Words

August 21, 2024 by Leave a Comment

Vice President Kamala Harris has been staying quietly lately leading to speculation as to what her positions are on a number of important issues. The American Energy Alliance has compiled a collection clips highlighting her most outrageous and controversial policy proposals for America’s energy.

Washington Free Beacon: Anti-Oil Groups, Undeterred by Harris’s U-Turn on Fracking, Spend Big To Boost Her Campaign

August 20, 2024 by Leave a Comment

A coalition of high-profile climate activist nonprofits, which have pushed fracking bans at the state and federal levels, are unleashing a colossal advertising campaign in support of Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign.

[…]

“What it suggests is that [the Harris campaign] is in on the charade with the green group movement,” Tom Pyle, the president of the American Energy Alliance who led the Trump transition energy team in 2016, said in an interview. “If they truly want to ban fracking, why would they support a candidate who reversed her position from wanting to ban fracking to no longer wanting to ban fracking?”

“I’m sure that there were winks and nods behind the scenes because, again, there’s no distinction anymore between the green political movement and the Democratic machine,” he continued.

“Those organizations are worried that if they don’t step up to try to help Kamala Harris, then they’re going to watch President Trump work to dismantle all the horrible policies and regulations that the Biden-Harris administration has put in place.”
