The American Energy Alliance urges all Senators to support H.J. Res. 27, the Congressional Review Act resolution disapproving of the revised definition of "waters of the United States" under the Clean Water Act.

The Clean Water Act clearly spells out an extensive state role for regulation of water sources. The federal statutory regulatory role is overseeing navigable waters of the United States. The repeated attempts by federal bureaucrats to stretch this definition to cover nearly all water...

Joe Biden and congressional Democrats have a plan for American energy: make it harder to produce and more expensive to purchase. Since Biden took office, his administration and Congressional Democrats have taken over 150 actions deliberately designed to make it harder to produce energy here in America.  A list of those actions appears below. A PDF of the list is available to download here.

The Biden administration is soliciting bids for up to 3 million barrels of sour oil—one tanker’s worth–to refill the emergency reserve stockpile depleted by President Biden’s pre-election releases. Deliveries into the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) are planned for August, with awards to be announced in June. The announcement marks the agency’s second attempt to begin replenishing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve after it released 260 million barrels  since November of 2021...

Studies have found that wind turbines impact local meteorological conditions by raising temperatures at the surface level while the wind turbines are in operation. Due to lucrative federal subsidies, wind farms are being built at a rapid pace contributing to a growing concern of the cumulative impacts these wind projects will produce. Advocates of wind argue that the surface temperature impact of turbines is local  and not global, as are emissions of greenhouse gases, and that wind turbines...

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 would require natural gas plants to blend hydrogen into fuel to survive. Natural gas plants would have to co-fire with  30 percent...

The green transition is pushing electric vehicles upon the American public as it is believed that they are less greenhouse gas intensive than gasoline vehicles. Electric vehicles, however, require lithium-ion batteries that have issues regarding greenhouse gas emissions during the mining and processing of the raw materials needed and the disposal of the batteries at the end of their life cycle. As more and more electric vehicles are sold, the problems inherent to mining and disposal...

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 likely mean raising the price of internal combustion (ICE) vehicles until they are more costly...
