Biden’s Green-Energy Mineral Lockup

The Wall Street Journal’s Editorial Board writes about Biden’s nonsensical regulatory policies. “Wouldn’t it be better for American workers and the environment to mine these minerals in the U.S.?

Somewhere Between “No More Meat” and “It’s a Hoax:” The Electoral Case for Commonsense Environmentalism

"Republicans need to make the case for commonsense environmental policies like nuclear transformation. It’s the middle ground between banning meat to save the environment and bashing environmental concerns as a hoax.

Bureaucratic Red Tape Is Blocking a U.S. Nuclear Renaissance

"Returning to R&D expensing—by which investments are written off immediately—makes sense. Virtually every single country around the world allows companies to deduct the full cost of R&D—and many subsidize it heavily. China, among other countries, does so using a 'super-deduction,' allowing companies to deduct more than 100% of their R&D costs. In China, companies may deduct 175% of R&D expenses. The U.S. is the outlier; it punishes investment by not letting companies deduct even 100% of R&D costs."
