High Electricity Prices Will Go Even Higher Unless We Change Course
"America is blessed with abundant supplies of energy: Natural gas, oil, and space for wind, solar, and nuclear are all readily available. We are also an innovative society, and the technologies for using these resources are improving all the time. Only policy failures that ignore reality can prevent us from enjoying affordable and reliable energy far into the future."

Critical-Mineral Diplomacy Needs to Focus on Supply, Not Demand
"The EU struggled politically to deal with competitive bidding among its member states first for vaccines during the Covid-19 pandemic, then for natural gas after Russia cut pipeline supplies last year. It understandably wants to avoid similar problems with new-energy metals. But high vaccine and gas prices caused by competitive bidding also generated results: Europe got vaccinated and gas inventories were refilled. Likewise, last year’s sky-high lithium prices triggered investment. Politicians dull price signals at their peril."

Republican Governors Show Clean Tech Leadership
"Republican governors are working to deploy U.S.-made clean energy technologies, responsibly develop American energy, and secure domestic supply chains.

Without Unlocking Domestic Mineral Supply, the U.S. Will Become More Reliant on China
"The ultimate point is that there is a wide gap between the way politicians, and even many analysts, enjoy talking about clean energy and what sort of policy would be needed to turn those hopes into reality. For the United States to become a dominant producer of clean energy, it will need to either significantly increase its imports of clean energy-related minerals, or it must find ways to make it easier to produce these minerals domestically. If the United States doesn’t take either of those steps, then it will probably continue to rely on the domestic energy sources in which it is already abundant, which are predominantly fossil fuels."
