Last week the “climate crisis” committee released their majority staff report purporting to solve climate change. The report is packed full of buzzwords, but the core message is clear: more expensive energy. While the environmental movement has long been clear about their goals of increasing energy costs in order to force citizens to use less, […]
The Senate is poised to consider broad energy legislation, the first of its kind since 2007. S.2012, the Energy Policy Modernization Act, seeks to address various facets of energy policy, from efficiency standards to power supply and the electric grid.

WASHINGTON – American Energy Alliance President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement on President Obama’s decision to veto Congressional resolutions aimed at blocking EPA’s carbon regulations: “President Obama’s decision to pocket veto these resolutions shows that he cares more about cementing his climate legacy than he does about the will and welfare of the American […]

The Capital Alpha report is fairly evenhanded and speaks […]
A recent Grist article was elated over the apparent lack of voter knowledge on the Solyndra issue, and celebrates poll results showing Americans support “clean energy” initiatives. But ironically, the writer who is complaining about dishonesty himself quotes a Solyndra critic out of context to utterly change the meaning of his statement. Furthermore, the […]
WASHINGTON D.C. — The American Energy Alliance (AEA) began airing today two radio spots in Ohio and Virginia to expose President Obama’s ‘war on coal’ and to encourage residents to “vote no” on the administration’s war against American energy and jobs. The ads will run more than 8600 times between Oct. 17 and Nov. 6. […]
