Rising electricity prices are a top concern for American families, and with demand set to surge, we desperately need more supply. Yet bureaucratic inertia in America’s permitting process has deterred investment and slowed the development of all forms of energy. House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman (R-AR) is working to fix that.
In a “soul-searching” exercise, Democrats have quickly learned just how much Americans care about the cost of living. Policymakers on both sides of the aisle should embrace innovations that lower costs for consumers and reduce unwanted environmental byproducts. One area to start is the plastics sector.
With the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) and President Trump’s Executive Order restricting the use of renewable tax credits, most reports and commentary have postulated that recent actions have cast a dark cloud over the future of clean energy in America. But the future of economically viable clean energy remains bright.
While most Republican presidents have campaigned on some version of energy independence or an “all-of-the-above” energy approach, President Donald Trump goes further—no longer just independence, but dominance is the goal.
Whatever you think the costs of wildfires are – to your community, your country, or the planet- it is very likely an underestimate.
Despite the rhetoric that energy tax credits are essential to energy dominance, the real obstacle holding back energy investment and deployment is regulatory bottlenecks at the federal, state, and local levels. Policy reforms that unlock all forms of energy development can enhance energy affordability and grid resiliency at a significantly lower cost to taxpayers.
Trump-era tax cuts and full expensing offer a pro-growth alternative to IRA subsidies, boosting innovation, ensuring business certainty, and advancing clean energy.
America and the rest of the world need a comprehensive response to China’s overfishing and aggressive fishing tactics, which overwhelm competitors and threaten biodiversity.
With the crafting of a reconciliation package in full swing, the fate of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) hangs in the balance. Much of the discussion in Washington has centered on what will happen to the energy tax credits. In a new paper, we outline how full expensing is a pro-growth, pro-environment policy that doesn’t pick winners and losers.
