Scorecard

The American Energy Alliance urges all members to oppose H.R. 4521 the vehicle for the America COMPETES Act. While some parts of this legislation, especially those focused on China's human rights violations, may be laudable, the larger package hijacks these important issues in an attempt to jam through significant green spending that could not pass through the normal legislative process.

The billions of dollars for the so-called Green Climate Fund are especially egregious. US taxpayer...

The American Energy Alliance reminds all members of our previously issued key vote alert opposing H.R. 5376, the reconciliation spending package.

The reconciliation package is packed with subsidies for special interests and distortions to energy markets. Energy sources we are assured are already cheap are generously subsidized. Reliable energy sources, like those that heat American homes, are taxed. Domestic sources of energy are restricted or banned. The combined effect of the energy...

The American Energy Alliance urges all members to vote NO on H.R. 3684, the infrastructure bill as amended by the Senate.

This legislation is poor policy and a bad use of taxpayer resources. The subsidies for electric vehicles and charging are not the responsibility of the federal government. The tens of billions of dollars for unneeded and impractical passenger rail will only fuel more wasteful white elephants to accompany California's ongoing high-speed rail fiasco. The tens of...

The American Energy Alliance urges all Senators to oppose the nomination of Tracy Stone-Manning for director of the Bureau of Land Management.

Stone-Manning has a demonstrated history of environmental radicalism that is disqualifying for the role of BLM director. Her involvement in violent, criminal activism alone should be disqualifying. But beyond that incident Stone-Manning has established a clear track record of hostility towards the statutory multiple use of federal lands as...

The American Energy Alliance urges all Senators to support amendments 3104 and 3105 to S.Con.Res. 14.

The Biden administration's oil and gas leasing ban on federal lands has already been ruled illegal. Leasing must be reinstated immediately according to existing law and long-standing practice.

The EPA, state regulators and independent researchers have repeatedly over the years studied the environmental effect of hydraulic fracturing. The clear conclusion from all these studies is...

The American Energy Alliance urges all Senators to oppose cloture on proceeding to the vehicle for the proposed bipartisan infrastructure bill.

This announced deal is poor policy and a bad use of taxpayer resources. The subsidies for electric vehicles and charging are not the responsibility of the federal government. The tens of billions of dollars for unneeded and impractical passenger rail will only fuel more wasteful white elephants to accompany California's ongoing high-speed rail...

The American Energy Alliance urges all members to oppose H.R. 1187 The Corporate Governance Improvement and Investor Protection Act. Despite its title, this legislation is not about improving corporate governance or protecting investors, its purpose is to inject partisan political priorities into the regulation of financial disclosures.

The purpose of SEC-mandated financial disclosures is to share meaningful information with investors that can affect the value of their investment or the...

The American Energy Alliance urges all members to oppose H.R. 4447 the Clean Economy Jobs and Innovation Act.  

H.R. 4447 is an unwieldy collection of bills packed full of subsidies and burdensome regulations.  The legislation as a whole has one outcome: increasing the cost of energy for Americans.  Federal government micromanaging of people's energy choices is as foolhardy as it is costly.

Even in good times, this legislation would be harmful, but with the economy still climbing out...
