2024 presidential campaign press release: on Energy & Oil


Doug Burgum: EPA rules infringed on state & Congressional authority

Burgum released a statement regarding the Supreme Court decision affirming the State's role as an equal partner to the federal government in regulating greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants.

"The Court's ruling is a tremendously significant decision for State's rights and consumers. This ruling puts a halt to federal overreach, including far reaching EPA proposed rules that infringed not just on State's but congressional authority," Burgum said. "Leading with innovation, not regulation, and all-of-the-above energy strategies that are responsive to market trends, promote new technologies to boost production and curb emissions is an environmentally sound and common-sense approach."

In 2020, the US Court of Appeals struck down the EPA's Affordable Clean Energy Rule, which recognized the shift in delegating to the States the primary authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plans. The decision today in North Dakota vs. EPA reversed that ruling.

Cornel West: Calls for an immediate halt to fossil fuel extraction

Cornel West called today for the nationalization of the oil, coal and natural gas industries and an immediate halt to fossil fuel extraction to combat the climate crisis. West said there is no time left, given the climate emergency, for "milquetoast reforms" such as Joe Biden's so-called Inflation Reduction Act.

Donald Trump: Electric Vehicle mandate intended to kill gas-powered cars

Statement on Crooked Joe Biden's Disastrous EV Mandate: "Joe Biden's action today is a weak and futile attempt to distract from the grievous harm his insane Electric Vehicle mandate is doing to the U.S. auto industry and how his radical policies are wiping out thousands of American auto jobs. The fact that these tariffs do not apply to gas-powered cars and trucks but only to Chinese EVs shows that this has nothing to do with protecting American Workers. It's all about Crooked Joe's agenda of killing gas-powered automobiles while forcing Americans into ultra-expensive Electric Vehicles they don't want and can't afford. If Joe Biden truly wanted to help U.S. auto workers, he would announce that he is rescinding his ridiculous EV mandate effective immediately. The entire Green New Scam is a Biden giveaway to Crooked Joe's Chinese masters. Americans who want to end Biden's betrayals and truly stand up for American Workers will vote for President Trump."

Kamala Harris: $20B for community-based clean energy transition

Every day, we feel and see the impact of the climate crisis. It is clear that the clock is not only ticking, it is banging. And we must act. I have met with folks with new approaches to reduce our emissions and accelerate our clean energy transition, but folks who often do not have access to the funds they need to make their ideas a reality. And that is a problem.

For years, one of the missing pieces in our strategy to fight the climate crisis is that we have not invested in community climate action. For years, the people of the community--folks who know what their neighborhood needs and how to provide it--have not been given adequate resources to implement climate solutions. And that's why we're here today.

I am proud to announce the largest investment in financing for community-based climate projects in our nation's history. We will provide $20 billion to a national network of nonprofits and community lenders to fund tens of thousands of climate and clean energy projects.
