"Exporting more liquefied natural gas to Europe would create good-paying jobs here and provide EU countries with a friendly supplier they could rely on while they increase their own energy production, whether that be more gas production, nuclear plants, solar power, or something else."

"Any worthwhile deal, at a minimum, should make the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) a less lethal regulatory weapon. While a large pipeline can be built in a year or two, federal permitting can take two to three times as long. If there are lawsuits—and there always are—you’re looking at a decade or more. Add that to the cost in present value of any energy or other project."

"Historically, import tariffs have been a blunt instrument with a track record littered with unintended consequences. Trump-era tariffs on Chinese modules (which the Biden administration opted to extend) have contributed to the U.S. having some of the world’s highest utility-scale solar costs."

"We cannot achieve energy security, tackle climate change, transition efficiently to clean energy, or reduce our reliance on foreign minerals until we fix the permitting process. The Biden administration needs to speak with one voice about critical minerals, streamline permitting, and stop proposing additional hurdles that impede mining projects."

"Modernized permitting is a key pillar of any climate policy. It can be done while upholding existing environmental protections with robust public participation. The key is allowing U.S. entrepreneurs to build clean energy faster."

"A zero-carbon economy will not materialize by magic. It will take immense effort, foresight and fresh thinking. A good place to start is this: When it comes to green energy, red tape is the enemy."

"The API proposal calls for assessing gasoline wholesalers, power plants and others a tax starting at $35 to $50 a ton for carbon dioxide generated by the fossil fuel they sell or use, with annual adjustments for inflation and other factors, according to the document reviewed by the Journal."

"Promoting panic and central planning to solve our greatest environmental challenges will ultimately be unsuccessful and only increase global and political temperatures. Durable climate solutions will require innovation in lieu of central planning, and prosperity rather than poverty. If we want to truly make a change this Earth Day we must embrace economic freedom."
