A bipartisan group of senators is promoting a new national tax on energy while Americans are struggling with record-high energy prices.

WASHINGTON DC (06/06/2022) – This week, American Energy Alliance (AEA), the country’s premier pro-consumer, pro-taxpayer, and free-market energy organization, launched a five-figure digital advocacy initiative pushing back against efforts by a small group of U.S. Senators to enact a new national energy tax.

Despite the fact...

Both oil and gasoline prices increased after each and every time President Biden announced the release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Biden clearly does not understand the oil industry, as his actions have resulted in price increases rather than the decreases he predicted. He continually blames the increases on everyone else but his administration is following his own executive orders. By now, it would seem he would realize that he needs expertise from someone knowledgeable...

Automakers are raising prices on their electric vehicles due to rising commodity costs, specifically for key materials needed for EV batteries. According to the International Energy Agency, while battery costs have been declining for a decade, EV battery costs are expected to increase 14 percent this year to $150 per kilowatt hour. Another firm expects the demand for battery minerals over the next four years to increase the price of EV battery cells by more than 20 percent on top of ...

Did Vladimir Putin awaken the West from its dangerous and reckless sprint to renewable energy? Are they realizing that the world needs all forms of energy? Diversity of supply was once an important message for energy security, but diversity of supply no longer is mentioned. However, some overtures seem to be baby steps in the right direction:

• U.S. LNG exports are gaining American interest,
• Europe is talking about drilling in the North Sea,
• California may keep its Diablo Canyon nuclear...

The White House is looking at issuing an emergency declaration  that would empower President Joe Biden to release diesel from the federal Northeast Home Heating Oil Reserve to address diesel shortages on the east coast. The release, however, would provide limited, short-term relief since the reserve only contains 1 million barrels of fuel. Further, it is reminiscent of Biden’s much larger release from the strategic petroleum reserve where oil prices only declined for a very short period....

Joe Biden and the leadership of the Democratic party 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 100 actions deliberately designed to make it harder to produce energy here in America.

32 of these anti-energy proclamations were enacted after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which Biden regularly touts as an excuse for rising gas prices.

Petroleum product shortages may be ahead as motorists, truck drivers, farmers and airlines are grappling with increasing demand for gasoline, diesel and jet fuel. Despite refiners focusing on diesel in lieu of gasoline this spring, a global diesel shortage is looming. Refiners are planning to spend the summer increasing jet fuel and diesel production instead of gasoline because refining oil into diesel or jet fuel is currently more profitable than making gasoline despite those fuels...
