"In a new policy study, R Street Resident Senior Fellow of Energy and Environmental Policy Philip Rossetti examines how tax policy incentivizes the private sector to invest in innovation in the United States."

"To deliver on its green pledges, the Biden administration will have to do something its environmental supporters are often reluctant to do: Cut the red tape that delays or derails the very development projects needed to build a clean-energy future. It will also have to make tough environmental tradeoffs that sometimes come along with such projects."

"The blacklist shows how detached from economic reality today’s climate-obsessed progressives are. We wish we could dismiss their work, but the White House appointed these people and solicited their advice, and in this Administration ideas from the outer banks often become official policy."

"America has more work to do on this front. But if government and industry continue to partner and maintain existing pipelines, build new capacity, and integrate best-in-class cybersecurity protections, we can avoid threats of fuel scarcity, empower economic growth, and deter global hackers."

"Spending big doesn’t necessarily equal spending smart. As the country crawls out from under the weight of a 14-month pandemic-induced economic downturn, we can’t afford to waste limited taxpayer resources. Spending must be effective and done efficiently and Congress should focus as much – if not more – on removing obstacles that keep private sector investment on the sidelines as they do in creating new government programs. ”
