"There is more than enough clean energy to power the world — let’s stop pretending that we have to regress as a species to save the environment. Pursuing a policy of clean energy abundance by incentivizing free market investment can enable us to continue decreasing emissions and lifting billions out of poverty."

"The West has surrendered wise policy—or even simply non-suicidal policy—in favor of allegiance to pipe dreams. Then we wonder just why reality seems to keep collapsing in on us like an abandoned house."

"We’ve installed a labyrinthine permit approval process that drastically stalls or outright blocks important infrastructure projects from ever getting constructed.

It’s not too late to lower oil prices, but it will have to start at home."

"The situation in Albany is a perfect example of why federal permitting reform is needed—and a telling illustration of how environmental regulations can stand in the way of environmentally friendly development like wind power."
