Evidence suggests that former President Joe Biden may have unwittingly signed numerous climate executive orders with an autopen, raising serious questions about who was actually running America’s energy policy during his presidency.
Key Takeaways
- Power the Future, a nonprofit energy advocacy group, claims there’s no evidence Biden was aware of at least eight major climate-related executive actions allegedly signed via autopen.
- The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project found most documents signed by Biden had identical autopen signatures, suggesting mechanical reproduction rather than personal signatures.
- Speaker Mike Johnson has stated Biden was unaware of signing an executive order pausing LNG exports, adding credibility to concerns about who was making policy decisions.
- The questioned executive orders include bans on offshore and Arctic drilling, clean energy mandates, and climate risk assessment requirements.
- Power the Future has called for investigations by federal agencies and congressional committees to determine who was actually authorizing these significant policy changes.
Energy Group Raises Alarm Over Biden’s Signatures
Power the Future, an energy advocacy nonprofit founded by energy expert Daniel Turner, has raised serious concerns about whether President Biden was personally aware of several critical climate-related executive orders bearing his signature. The group has compiled evidence suggesting that at least eight major energy and climate policy directives may have been signed using an autopen without Biden’s direct knowledge or participation. These executive actions dramatically reshaped American energy policy, restricting domestic production while funneling billions toward green energy initiatives.
“Despite their massive consequences for American energy producers, workers, and consumers, President Biden made no public comment, on camera or to press, about any of these actions,” Power the Future stated in their report.
The group has highlighted a disturbing pattern where Biden never publicly acknowledged signing these orders, despite their far-reaching implications. This silence stands in stark contrast to his public statements on other executive actions, raising questions about whether Biden was even aware of these policy changes happening under his name.
Critical Energy Policies Signed Without Acknowledgment
Among the executive actions under scrutiny are orders that banned offshore drilling in the Arctic and Outer Continental Shelf, established clean energy mandates, required climate risk assessments across federal agencies, and paused LNG exports. These policies collectively hobbled American energy independence while advancing a radical climate agenda. Remarkably, despite the enormous economic and national security implications of these decisions, Biden never spoke publicly about them or acknowledged signing them.
“These are not obscure bureaucratic memos; these were foundational shifts in American energy policy, yet not once did Joe Biden speak about them publicly,” said Daniel Turner, founder of Power the Future.
Adding to these concerns, Speaker Mike Johnson has publicly stated that Biden was unaware he had signed an executive order pausing LNG exports, one of the most consequential energy policy decisions of his administration. This revelation from the highest levels of government lends significant credibility to the autopen allegations. The Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project has further bolstered these claims, finding that most documents signed by Biden bear identical signatures, with the notable exception of his letter announcing the end of his reelection campaign.
Call for Investigation Into Potential Power Usurpation
Power the Future has now sent letters to several federal agencies and congressional committees requesting formal investigations into who actually authorized these executive actions. The implications are profoundly disturbing – if Biden did not knowingly sign these orders, then unelected staffers were effectively setting national energy policy without constitutional authority. This potential usurpation of presidential power strikes at the heart of our constitutional system and democratic processes.
“During the Biden administration, hundreds of billions of dollars were funneled towards pet green projects, while the American fossil fuels industry was punished, and there is no evidence that Biden ordered it, directed it, or was even aware it was happening in his name,” said Daniel Turner, founder of Power the Future.
While the Department of Justice has previously stated that an autopen signature would not legally invalidate executive actions, that legal opinion presumes the president has knowingly authorized the use of the autopen. If Biden was genuinely unaware of these policy directives being issued in his name, it raises serious constitutional questions about who was actually running the executive branch during his presidency. The American people deserve to know who was truly behind these destructive energy policies that have contributed to inflation, weakened our national security, and undermined American energy independence.
