"The bill would also create a grant program at the Interior Department to fund pilot projects to produce critical minerals, offering $50 million each year for three years starting in fiscal year 2022, according to the bill text."

"A sweeping new study, Free Economies are Clean Economies, released yesterday by the Conservative Coalition for Climate Solutions calls into question the climate policy orthodoxy espoused by progressives that relies on the heavy hand of regulation, higher taxes, central planning, and eliminating entire industries that are critical to the prosperity of our nation. The report confirms that, to tackle climate change, relying on markets and innovation is the more promising approach."

This year, the last set of negotiated discretionary spending levels has expired. Restoring the role of the Budget committees to serve as the clearinghouse for reviewing all aspects of the president’s budget request and establishing the upcoming fiscal year’s discretionary spending totals would be beneficial.

"The necessity of U.S. LNG is therefore three-pronged: 1) limit Russia’s rising geopolitical influence in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and elsewhere; 2) give the developing world access to an affordable, reliable, and cleaner energy source; and 3) create economic opportunities here at home, namely tens of thousands of high-paying jobs and tens of billions of dollars in taxes and other fees."

"The EIA projections enable us to estimate how much Biden’s wind flotilla will cost consumers. If all 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind are built and the turbines operate at a 50 percent capacity factor (meaning they produce at full output half of the time), they will generate about 131.4 million megawatt-hours per year. At $121 per megawatt-hour, that energy will cost about $15.9 billion per year."

"Massive expansion of federal bureaucracy and government control won’t make America’s roads and bridges better; and it won’t make our power grids more reliable or less polluting. For far too long, Washington-generated red tape and duplicative oversight have hamstrung our nation’s ability to repair crumbling infrastructure without massive cost overruns and unnecessary delays."

"The CO2 tax is a regressive burden on the energy that keeps Americans comfortable and healthy, and it will impose its greatest financial burdens on the businesses and communities that can least afford it. Americans already are drastically cutting emissions, and the arguments in support of the tax undercut the very market mechanisms upon which supporters claim to rely."

"Competitors like Germany, Canada and Australia routinely complete reviews of infrastructure proposals in under two years while often doing a better job of protecting the environment."

"In the years since, Republicans have made tremendous strides on climate change. We have institutionalized big, bold goals anchored by clean energy breakthroughs, and even campaign on innovation as the best approach to solving the climate challenge."
