Braun’s clear-headed approach may not be receiving overwhelming applause from his colleagues but don’t be surprised if taxpayers start demanding more of Braun’s common-sense solutions.
Make America Energy Independent Again
"We can support further development of renewables in Europe and America, and we must continue investing in research and development for innovative technologies, not just for our country, but to export to our allies to help them lower global emissions. In the meantime, we must be practical; renewables are not yet advanced enough without long-term energy storage capabilities. We should be investing in all homegrown energy sources today for tomorrow’s use."
Now is the Time for America to Invest in the Clean Energy Transition
"By investing in the next generation of clean technologies at home, we can bring reliable and cost-efficient clean energy to all corners of the globe and enable nations to build the net-zero economies of tomorrow."
Fact-checking 5 claims in Russia energy debate
“'From a 30,000-foot level, I think there’s a lot of half-truths out there,' said Nick Loris, a vice president at C3 Solutions, a conservative firm that lobbies for climate policy and clean energy policy."
How can gas prices come down? The federal government and states could help ease pain at the pump
"Loris says that the Biden administration isn't entirely to blame for the high energy prices but that it could help ease prices in the longer term by changing course on its anti-fossil fuel policies, pointing to the president blocking the Keystone XL Pipeline and halting new federal land leases as moves that created further uncertainty in energy markets and discouraged investment."
Russian Oil Is Off the Table but the Jones Act Serves as a Barrier to Using Domestic Supplies
"U.S. usage of Russian energy serves as a fresh reminder of the oft‐overlooked harms inflicted by the Jones Act and the myriad ways it undermines both the country’s prosperity and national security. Let’s hope this sets the stage for a much‐needed and long‐overdue examination of this protectionist relic and the glaring failure of U.S. maritime policy."
Energy Consumption Controls Won’t Solve Scarcity
It’s time government stopped playing favourites with generation methods, and we abandon the notion that we can mandate and micromanage our way to a world worth living in.
Elizabeth Warren Says the Solution to High Gas Prices Is Higher Taxes on Oil Companies
"Warren's proposal would doubtlessly achieve the same results: Less domestic production, more dependence on foreign oil, higher prices at the pump, and negligible tax revenue."
Biden forgets a key message on the environment: Balance
"As Biden navigates his second year in office, it’s crucial that climate change continues to be a priority, but it needs to be weighted equally with realistic economic concerns and securing our energy supply."
