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.

"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."

"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.'"
Let’s Find Common Ground on America’s Energy Future
"Together, we can chart a path forward that grants customers freedom of choice, ensures a reliable energy system and protects the environment. We can do far more for our nation and our planet by coming together than we can by remaining apart."
One of AOC’s Worst Green New Deal Ideas is Included in Biden’s ‘Build Back Better’ Plan
"With the proposal gaining momentum in Washington, DC, it’s well worth examining its actual merits. And even a cursory glance reveals that in reality the plan would simply waste money, create zero jobs on net, and do nothing to mitigate climate change."
Conservative Gathering at COP Confirms Climate is No Longer a One-Party Issue
COP26, the annual United Nations gathering to discuss climate change, is in its second week in Glasgow, UK. As might be expected since it deals with the touchy issue of climate change, COP26 has attracted many protestors and activists who are demanding that various governments do more. These activists have protested in the streets, held...
The Chinese Communist Party Is Climate Enemy No. 1
"We must declare the Chinese Communist Party Climate Enemy No. 1. As sea levels continue to rise and heat waves ravage the developed and developing world alike, we simply cannot afford to wait for an authoritarian communist regime to wake up and realize its moral obligation to act."
