WASHINGTON DC (2/26/25) – Today, the House passed H.J. Res. 35 with a vote of 220-206-1. The resolution uses the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to express congressional disapproval of the methane emissions tax on U.S. oil and gas producers. The vote will be scored for AEA's American Energy Scorecard.

Tom Pyle, President of the American Energy Alliance, released the following statement:

"It cannot be overstated—reliable and affordable energy is absolutely essential to the...

The American Energy Alliance supports S.J. Res. 12, providing for congressional disapproval of the EPA methane fee. 

The EPA methane fee is nothing more than an unnecessary tax on energy. Energy producers already have a strong economic incentive to minimize methane leakage throughout their processes because natural gas is marketable product. Piling an EPA tax on top of that existing business rationale is unnecessary. It raises compliance costs without providing any additional incentive...

The American Energy Alliance supports H.J. Res. 35, providing for congressional disapproval of the EPA methane fee and H.J. Res. 20, providing for congressional disapproval of the Department of Energy rules on gas fired tankless water heaters. Both these rulemakings were part of the previous administration's efforts to increases energy costs and limit consumer choice in pursuit of its ideological goals.

The EPA methane fee is nothing more than an unnecessary tax on energy. Energy...

The Trump administration has frozen federal grants for everything from battery factories to electric school buses and issued executive orders that have halted federal approvals for wind and solar projects. The freeze has not come a minute too soon as “clean” energy companies funded by Obama and Biden administration grants are dying on the vine. The latest is Canadian electric bus company Lion Electric, which was given almost $160 million  to manufacture battery-powered buses for school...

In its Short-Term Energy Outlook, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) is projecting 26 gigawatts of solar capacity to be added to the power grid this year and another 22 gigawatts of solar additions in 2026. That expected growth is down from the record 37 gigawatts of solar power capacity that was added in 2024 and may dwindle further as some analysts believe  that solar power may face Trump administration policies that will stagnate project development or continue it at a slower...

WASHINGTON DC (2/14/25) – This week the American Energy Alliance joined with over 50 free-market groups and organizations to urge Congress to scrap the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) Green New Deal provisions.

Our letter warns that IRA subsidies will push the U.S. away from reliable energy (natural gas, oil, and coal) toward unreliable sources (wind, solar), threatening grid stability and driving up costs.

The coalition makes clear that these policies undermine energy...

WASHINGTON DC (2/12/25) – On the heels of President Trump’s announcement aimed at eliminating the $7,500 federal tax credit for electric vehicle purchases, news broke last night that automakers have hit Capitol Hill to lobby against the tax credit’s termination. 

 AEA President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement: 

"Automakers took a risk on electric vehicles that ultimately didn't pay off, relying on government regulations and mandates to create a market that never...

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 energy system, and undermine our energy and national security.”...
