The United States Department of Agriculture has launched the Great American Cotton Plan to support cotton farmers and protect Americans from “forever chemicals” in our daily lives. Over the past decade, America has moved to almost all synthetic fibers, often for clothing and linens made of plastics such as polyester, nylon, polypropylene, and polyethylene. While...
The Net-Zero Banking Alliance collapsed in October 2025. The Net-Zero Insurance Alliance fell apart even earlier. By the end of last year, every major U.S. bank had withdrawn from the climate cartel that had spent four years pressuring them to choke off financing to American energy producers. It should have been the end of the story. It...
The Environmental Protection Agency misled the public about the dangerous air in New York City following the 9/11 terror attacks in 2001, Commissioner Lee Zeldin said. He vowed to prevent a repeat of this disaster in the aftermath of the 2025 California wildfires. “I actually think that’s the worst moment of EPA history was misleading...
A May report from the Department of the Interior announced the largest onshore lease sale in history of more than 33,000 premium acres in the Permian Basin, generating over $4 billion. Republicans credit the new possibility of American energy dominance to the Trump administration reversing Biden-era energy policy with the One Big, Beautiful Bill. “This...
My inclination when learning about the proposed mega-utility company that would be created when NextEra Energy acquires Dominion Energy—and yes, that is what is proposed—was that this is the predictable growing distance from the consumer of companies that expand and merge and acquire in order to keep up with a federal regulating body that is...
Climate litigation is having a difficult month. As plaintiffs suing energy companies for global warming gear up for their upcoming Supreme Court hearing, the plans to extract billions under local tort laws suffered significant setbacks in recent weeks. Last week, the modeling scenarios used to predict the most dire consequences from global warming were deemed “implausible” by the U.N.’s...
Billionaire Tom Steyer used his money to attack a lone climate researcher. Roger Pielke Jr.’s research on climate and disaster policy wins awards and is cited by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. “My views are entirely mainstream,” says Pielke. “My work is cited by all three working groups of the IPCC. There’s...
The front line in the fight over AI runs through Utah. In Box Elder County, a remote valley near the Great Salt Lake, residents are fighting a proposed AI data center, which would be one of the largest ever. Some 4,000 people filed formal objections over its water use. Developers pulled their application but say...
The defining feature of the American judicial system is that every litigant walks into the courtroom with the belief that they will have a fair shot to present their case. That foundational principle is under assault. Several weeks ago, The Oversight Project published a report highlighting the threat to judicial independence posed by the left-wing...
An Environmental Protection Agency lawyer and union leader has signed a dissent letter opposing President Donald Trump’s policy at the agency and has posted on social media attacking EPA Director Lee Zeldin, but appears to still be employed there. This activity raises questions as to whether she might be a “deep state” actor, working to...
THE DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Energy Secretary Chris Wright deflected when asked by “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker about when gas prices would start to drop. The average price of a gallon of gas in the United States on Sunday was $4.52, according to AAA, up over $1.50 from $2.98 on Feb. 26, days before the start...
Democrats’ heated rhetoric may have contributed to the Palisades fire—but not by warming the global climate. When the Los Angeles-area fire burned 23,707 acres, destroyed 6,833 structures, and killed 12 people, those on the Left rushed to blame it on man-made climate change. Only later did we learn that the human causation was far more...
The Iran conflict has delivered an uncomfortable reminder that energy is not an environmental talking point but a matter of national survival. Nations without reliable, affordable energy do not just struggle economically. They become vulnerable. Yet even as missiles fly and shipping lanes tighten, the green energy chorus is back at the microphone insisting this...
Congress secured major wins for the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement, including striking pesticide liability shields and passing the 2026 Farm Bill. States’ and families’ rights are protected, and pesticide companies can continue to be held liable for poisoning Americans. The Farm Bill passed the House on Thursday by a vote of 224-200. Rep....
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin brought a fiery exchange against a progressive climate control hawk who forgot to do her homework, suggesting his defense was “BS.” Zeldin appeared before the House Interior and Environment Appropriations Subcommittee on Monday to testify and defend the EPA’s 2027 budget. He soon got into a heated argument with...
