Paul Dabbar writes in The Wall Street Journal on how deregulation has created U.S. energy independence. “Technological innovation and broad deregulation are responsible for transforming the U.S. into a global energy powerhouse. The development by American oil and gas companies of new horizontal drilling techniques and the perfection of the process of hydraulic fracturing were...

"Reforming the environmental approvals and permitting process is the unsexy, yet incredibly powerful key to fighting climate change. For example, the bipartisan infrastructure bill that is due for a vote any day now in Congress is being called a down payment on the infrastructure needed for a low-carbon economy. But without the ability to actually build, that investment would be squandered."

"The National Flood Insurance Program—the main provider of flood coverage in the U.S., with more than five million policies—is rolling out an overhauled pricing method starting Friday in an effort to reflect more accurately the flood risk that individual properties face. The issue has gained importance with climate change, which scientists say is fueling sea-level rise and contributing to more-severe weather."

"Having multiple competing suppliers generates real electricity price competition, as well as competition over quality, reliability and satisfaction of other customer preferences like environmental protection."

The Wall Street Journal‘s Editorial Board writes on Biden’s energy price shock. “Europe’s climate follies have created fuel shortages and price spikes that are rippling through global energy markets. Demand for liquefied natural gas in Europe has soared due to waning wind production, the shutdown of coal and nuclear plants, and lower Russian gas deliveries....

PERC CEO Brian Yablonski joins the Land Ethic podcast to discuss how markets can provide more sustainable conservation. “PERC CEO Brian Yablonski joins Dylan Bagnasco of the Land Ethic podcast to discuss free market environmentalism. Brian notes that a market-based approach to conservation will be more sustainable and insulated from fickle political winds.” Listen to...

"Federal scientists are studying whether heat-trapping carbon dioxide can be sucked out of the atmosphere and sequestered in restored salt marshes, sea grass beds and mangrove swamps. And those wetlands can in turn protect communities along the coast from rising seas and fierce, frequent climate-driven storms."

"With 90 percent of viable geothermal resources located on federally managed lands, almost all geothermal projects are subject to the NEPA review process. Currently, most geothermal exploration wells require an Environmental Assessment (EA) to be filed before exploration begins. This EA process for geothermal projects averages 10 months, meaning interested parties must wait nearly a year to determine if a viable geothermal resource even exists."
