"China’s five-year plan is 'underwhelming and shows little sign of a concerted switch away from a future coal lock-in,' said Swithin Lui, of NewClimate Institute, and the China lead for Climate Action Tracker."

“'Hydropower is the largest renewable energy source, and it provides clean, reliable and affordable energy to families in eastern Washington,' said Rep. McMorris Rodgers. 'In fact, hydropower accounts for roughly 70 percent of our clean energy across all of Washington State.'"

"The top priority must be to continue producing U.S. energy. Over the past four years, the Department of Energy advanced a true all-of-the-above policy that leveraged all fuels and all technologies to enhance our energy and national security as well as hasten the transition to less carbon-intensive fuels by developing nations."

"We all care about the environment; after all, this is our home and the world we will pass down to our children and grandchildren. Where we differ is how to steward the resources we’ve been given. As conservatives, we believe stewardship means using our resources wisely."

Competing on such an unlevel playing field will require ingenuity in our policymaking to defend American firms and workers from manipulations of the market by China."

"For all the hysterical talk from the Green New Dealers of a renewable-only future, the simple truth remains: renewables will never be reliable enough to power the modern world. If we want to tackle climate change, reduce emissions, and power the grid, then we need the proper mix of energy. We need to make sure that nuclear not only stays on the grid, but grows on it."

Economic freedom leads to a cleaner environment. It allows ownership, which encourages stewardship.
