"While the negotiation process seemed to take years, the infrastructure bill crossed the aisle — and the finish line. This moment is proof that not only can Congress still do good work for the American people, but that good work requires leadership from both parties."
Beware of China’s Phony Climate Ambition
President Xi and the CCP are certainly not lacking in ambition. But their true ambition is to promote their communist principles around the world by using economic leverage whenever and wherever they can, including on climate change policy.
Climate change is best countered by economic freedom
"Indeed, economic freedom, not government dictate, is the surest and the best path forward. It is a tried and true way to make the world freer, healthier, and cleaner."
Government Officials Should Prioritize Climate Solutions, Not Climate Lawsuits
"So as we move past Glasgow, it’s essential to look ahead – to focus on results. Common sense and innovative solutions that leverage the private sector, not lawsuits that attack them, will make a real difference. And that’s how we should define success."
6 Takeaways from COP26
C3 Solutions spent the last two weeks in Glasgow, Scotland for the United Nations climate meeting known as COP26. Throughout the two weeks, several notable observations stood out.
‘We Want Them to Go Bankrupt’
"All of this matters because as Comptroller Ms. Omarova would have enormous authority to regulate banks. It’s clear from this interview that one of her policy ambitions is to deny capital to certain companies that she wants to go bankrupt. Senators will have to decide if they want the Comptroller to be a one-person systemic risk to the banking system."
Nuclear Shines Bright at COP26
"To reach our ambitious global climate objectives, we need every tool in the toolbox to reduce emissions, and including nuclear energy needs to be a priority. Of course, COP26 is just a brief moment in time, and momentum will need to be sustained."
For Climate Progressives, Winter is Coming
For progressives, winter may be coming. But for conservatives who have recommitted themselves to policies that work in the real world, such as innovation and economic freedom, it may soon be morning again in not just America but the world.
Power lines are infrastructure bill’s big climate win
"The change has the potential to boost clean energy projects that have run into permitting challenges, analysts said. The infrastructure bill’s package notably came during a week that saw voters in Maine strike down a proposed transmission line intended to carry electricity from dams in Quebec to consumers in New England. The constitutionality of that referendum is being challenged in court."
Free Markets Are the Best and Fastest Way to Cut Greenhouse Gas Emissions
"A freer market also means that a country's carbon emissions are already falling. C3 Solutions' Director of Public Policy Nick Loris made this clear in his report, 'Free Economies are Clean Economies.'"
