"Too often, their work is made much more difficult — if not impossible — by far-left environmental groups who use strategic lawsuits to prevent forest management activities from taking place. It’s time that elected officials in the nation’s capital put an end to these abusive lawsuits or, at a minimum, roll back some of the worst impacts."
Direct air capture pact gets bipartisan backing
"Wyoming’s accessible permanent geologic storage and existing infrastructure and Colorado’s developing policy environment to 'evaluate the regulatory, economic, technological, and research opportunities in the carbon dioxide removal and direct air capture area,' are cited as driving forces behind the partnership."
EPA methane rules need flexibility, balance to achieve lower emissions
Bernard L. Weinstein writes about the EPA’s methane rules in The Hill. “Companies would not be prohibited from using technologies other than OGI, but under the rule, they would be required to follow up with a blanket OGI survey anyway. Because of cost duplication, this requirement would discourage oil and gas producers from adopting potentially more...
Nuclear Power’s Next Big Event
"Nuclear power growth will end with the next radiation release unless we replace regulators with people who observe facts and consequences. The near century of concessions changing 1934 radiation limits from 40 microSv/hour to 0.001 Sv/year has not reduced harm one bit, but has increased public fear because the more restrictive limits have no evidential justification. Fear of nuclear power has killed many more people than radiation."
A German Heating Law Hits the Climate Limit
"It’s all too much even for environmentally conscious Germany. A survey this week, taken before the court ruling, found some three-quarters of respondents would prefer that Parliament postpone passing the law. Respondents in another poll opposed banning old-style heating systems 'in the foreseeable future” by a margin of 49% to 45%, and 67% of respondents worried the government’s proposals would “overwhelm them financially.'"

Carbon capture: The road less traveled, the path to economic and climate success
Wyoming Governor Mark Gorden writes in The Hill about the benefits of carbon capture and storage (CCUS). “Americans rely on energy every day to make our way of life possible. We in Wyoming care deeply about our natural heritage because we live close to it and appreciate the delicacy of powering our nation without sacrificing...
America Can Fix Its Highways Much Faster, If It Wants
"To put it bluntly: Bringing in a new guy — whether it’s an 'art of the deal' president or a US transportation secretary from McKinsey — won’t necessarily speed things up. Because the delay comes not from government incompetence but from the great mass of citizens who demand more voice, more procedure, more consultation and more review."
