"Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.) got $2.25 million for Newburyport to rebuild a coastal retaining wall that protects the city’s downtown and a waterfront boardwalk. A city of 18,000 on Massachusetts’ exclusive North Shore, Newburyport has a median household income of $111,000 and a population that is 93 percent non-Hispanic white, according to census figures."
As policymakers look to scale up America’s clean energy portfolio, they’d do well not to leave the country’s oldest, largest, and most reliable sources of emissions-free power in the dark.
Braun’s clear-headed approach may not be receiving overwhelming applause from his colleagues but don’t be surprised if taxpayers start demanding more of Braun’s common-sense solutions.
"We can support further development of renewables in Europe and America, and we must continue investing in research and development for innovative technologies, not just for our country, but to export to our allies to help them lower global emissions. In the meantime, we must be practical; renewables are not yet advanced enough without long-term energy storage capabilities. We should be investing in all homegrown energy sources today for tomorrow’s use."
"By investing in the next generation of clean technologies at home, we can bring reliable and cost-efficient clean energy to all corners of the globe and enable nations to build the net-zero economies of tomorrow."
“'From a 30,000-foot level, I think there’s a lot of half-truths out there,' said Nick Loris, a vice president at C3 Solutions, a conservative firm that lobbies for climate policy and clean energy policy."
"Loris says that the Biden administration isn't entirely to blame for the high energy prices but that it could help ease prices in the longer term by changing course on its anti-fossil fuel policies, pointing to the president blocking the Keystone XL Pipeline and halting new federal land leases as moves that created further uncertainty in energy markets and discouraged investment."
"U.S. usage of Russian energy serves as a fresh reminder of the oft‐overlooked harms inflicted by the Jones Act and the myriad ways it undermines both the country’s prosperity and national security. Let’s hope this sets the stage for a much‐needed and long‐overdue examination of this protectionist relic and the glaring failure of U.S. maritime policy."
It’s time government stopped playing favourites with generation methods, and we abandon the notion that we can mandate and micromanage our way to a world worth living in.
