"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."
In a political world so harshly divided, these findings show that some issues still enjoy bipartisan support. To accomplish its goals, the Biden Administration would do well to listen to what voters want: energy independence, economic impact transparency, and private-sector leadership.
"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. ”
Washington could help by passing a bipartisan infrastructure bill that invests in building things, especially more pipelines and power lines. We don’t need to hoard. We simply need more energy.
Washington could do with fewer messaging documents and more action for Environmental Justice communities, focusing on greener agriculture, lead water pipe replacement, and clean drinking water infrastructure for starters.
"The good news is a broad bipartisan consensus exists in Congress to make significant investments in infrastructure. The problem is not money. The problem is regulation and focus (calling something infrastructure doesn’t make it infrastructure)."
"Within President Joe Biden’s infrastructure plan is $174 billion that would both extend the electric vehicle tax credit as well as replace government cars with electric ones. To put this level of waste into perspective: $174 billion is more than practically every state budget."
"American businesses and energy consumers are demanding a new paradigm — one that encourages both economic competitiveness and clean energy. As we look toward the “Roaring ’20s” and move toward a clean energy future, now is the time to update our electricity markets, unleash technological advancements and promote job growth."
"After 50 years in power, it’s clear that NEPA and its current regulatory process is outdated and needs to be retired. Ambitious decarbonization plans look good on paper, but without clearing the regulatory roadblocks that hinder renewable development, consumers will be left in the dark."
