Department of Interior (DOI) Secretary Doug Burgum and Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Chris Wright have advised their staff to institute President Trump’s energy dominance program. DOE Secretary Wright prioritizes expanding energy production rather than pursuing Biden’s net-zero climate policies, stating, “net-zero policies raise energy costs for American families and businesses, threaten the reliability of our […]
The American Energy Alliance supports the nominations of Lee Zeldin for EPA Administrator, Doug Burgum for Secretary of the Interior, and Chris Wright for Secretary of Energy. All of these leaders share a vision for energy dominance and economic growth. Their dedication to prioritizing domestic energy production and addressing regulatory burdens will serve to spur […]
WASHINGTON DC (1/15/24) – Former Congressman Lee Zeldin will appear before the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works this week to consider his nomination for EPA Administrator. This role will be critical in helping President Trump reshape U.S. energy policy and ending President Biden’s EV mandates. We offer these seven suggested questions for Senators to […]
WASHINGTON DC (12/18/24) – Today, the Biden-Harris administration announced it will grant the State of California permission to move forward with its ban on gas-powered cars and light trucks. Earlier this year, our partner organization, the Institute for Energy Research, filed an amicus brief in a case challenging the legality of such a waiver. Tom Pyle, […]
The Biden-Harris administration is halting new coal leases in the Powder River Basin, ensuring that the U.S. will cease coal production there after 2041. The Powder River Basin, located in northeast Wyoming and parts of southeast Montana, is the largest coal mining area in the country. It produces subbituminous coal, prized for its low sulfur content, which is […]
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), its emissions tailpipe rule will reduce total greenhouse gas emissions over 2027 to 2055 by 7.2 billion metric tons. Applying EPA’s climate model, the rule would reduce global temperatures in 2100 by 0.0068 degrees Celsius — an effect far too small to be detectable, which is why EPA admits it “did not…specifically quantify […]
A new threat to U.S. refining may be looming. A proposed Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rule on hydrofluoric-acid-based alkylation could spur a round of refinery closures as the cost of replacing hydrofluoric acid based alkylation with alternatives is extremely high. EPA is considering adding amendments to its Risk Management Program (RMP) regulation that could effectively eliminate the […]
EPA’s proposed power plant rule hits coal plants particularly hard since they would need an extremely expensive technology that is not yet commercial to allow coal plants to generate electricity in the United States. But, the new proposed rule would also wreak havoc on natural gas plants. Biden’s 681-page Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed rule […]
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) new emissions standards for vehicles require manufacturers to increase overall fuel efficiency by over 25 percent by 2026, effectively mandating that electric vehicles make up two-thirds of new car sales. In order for customers to buy electric vehicles, manufacturers will have to make them less expensive than internal combustion vehicles, which will […]
President Biden’s new rules for power plants that will be released soon would benefit carbon capture and sequestration technology by enabling coal and natural gas plants to meet the new proposed standards developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, the EPA is lagging far behind on permits allowing for the construction of the new technology. The new […]
