Washington, D.C. - In the wake of bombshell reporting from the Boston Herald showing that presidential Climate Czar John Kerry is still refusing to disclose public information about his secret taxpayer-funded office, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director of Power The Future, called on Congress to defund the unaccountable slush fund:
“So much for democracy dying in darkness. Whether it’s a Secretary of Defense mysteriously hospitalized, the budget for his Climate Corps, or jet-setting John Kerry’s office, the Biden Administration sure loves keeping secrets,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “The bureaucrats in Kerry’s office are receiving six figure salaries while Joe Biden is spending massive amounts of unaccountable money on the green agenda. While Joe Biden drones on about supporting democracy, he allows secret offices with anonymous staff to spend untold amounts of money without any oversight. If Joe Biden and John Kerry won’t come clean about what they’re doing, Congress should defund their efforts immediately."

Albuquerque – Power The Future Communications Director Larry Behrens issued the following statement in response to Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham releasing her fiscal year 2025 budget recommendation:
"With a massive amount of new money delivered from the state's oil and natural gas workers, Governor Lujan Grisham has another opportunity to give some of that money to families through rebates. New Mexicans are paying 17 percent more for everything over the last three years and deserve to share in the state's oil and gas revenue windfall. Unfortunately, Governor Lujan Grisham's budget priority is to take the money and grow more bureaucracy in Santa Fe."

Washington, D.C. - In a recently uncovered newspaper ad from October 1978, then-Senator Joe Biden described inflation as, “ripping into the fabric of American society.” As part of his effort to separate from President Jimmy Carter’s economic failures during his own re-election bid as Delaware’s U.S. Senator, Biden notes how he worked to ensure energy rates were not raised on Delaware ratepayers. In contrast, electric rates in the United States increased 13 percent from 2021 to 2022, according to Biden’s own Administration.
