"Americans know what infrastructure is, and they know energy is central. Infrastructure affects everyone, everyone agrees it needs to be repaired, and everyone should have a stake in its success. President Biden and the Democrats would be making a huge mistake to try and shove yet another expensive, partisan spending package this summer in the name of infrastructure. It’s time for them to reach across the aisle and work seriously on behalf of America."
"Despite the president's claim that his American Jobs Plan will be a generation-defining investment in the future, his administration remains committed to preserving outdated red tape that will inevitably impede whatever it ends up trying to build."
"The group will be open only to Republican lawmakers and will be used to share science and data about climate change, clean energy and jobs, according to three sources close to the effort.

Rather than focus primarily on government finance and regulating certain fuels out of existence, policymakers should pursue reforms rooted in free enterprise that raise peoples’ standards of living and mobilizes private investments in cleaner technologies.
"Conservative climate policies avoid large, top-down omnibus legislation such as the Green New Deal, which would allow the federal government to reorganize the entire economy. Philosophically, conservatives focus on positive incentives to innovate toward lower emissions and support adaptation efforts as sea levels rise and weather patterns change."
Energy tax credits distort the market and hurt the environment and economy.
If we truly care about protecting species from extinction, we shouldn’t be afraid to ask: Does the Endangered Species Act actually do its job?
Rather than recklessly spend and borrow, policymakers should remove government-imposed barriers that would drive infrastructure investment, job growth and emissions reductions.
"China’s energy trends have implications for what it means to keep China accountable to its promises. But they should also inject some necessary realism into international climate agreements and U.S. policy responses to China. As Walter Lohman notes, 'It’s hard to put any faith in Beijing’s pledges … Given the way these things played out, in fact, [Chinese President Xi Jinping is] probably eager to reap the benefits of more pledges.'"
"Nuclear power is a safe, cost-effective, and strategically sound source of energy for the European continent, it would be in the best interest of the U.S. to see it proliferate within its sphere of influence."
