The US May Be Getting Smaller, But Our Natural Gas Exports Are Getting Bigger

"The necessity of U.S. LNG is therefore three-pronged: 1) limit Russia’s rising geopolitical influence in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and elsewhere; 2) give the developing world access to an affordable, reliable, and cleaner energy source; and 3) create economic opportunities here at home, namely tens of thousands of high-paying jobs and tens of billions of dollars in taxes and other fees."

Lower- and middle-class Americans will pay a fortune for Biden’s wind-power plan

"The EIA projections enable us to estimate how much Biden’s wind flotilla will cost consumers. If all 30,000 megawatts of offshore wind are built and the turbines operate at a 50 percent capacity factor (meaning they produce at full output half of the time), they will generate about 131.4 million megawatt-hours per year. At $121 per megawatt-hour, that energy will cost about $15.9 billion per year."

A boom in bureaucracy won’t build America back any better

"Massive expansion of federal bureaucracy and government control won’t make America’s roads and bridges better; and it won’t make our power grids more reliable or less polluting. For far too long, Washington-generated red tape and duplicative oversight have hamstrung our nation’s ability to repair crumbling infrastructure without massive cost overruns and unnecessary delays."

CO2 tax support is based in myth: Taxing essential energy harms more than it helps

"The CO2 tax is a regressive burden on the energy that keeps Americans comfortable and healthy, and it will impose its greatest financial burdens on the businesses and communities that can least afford it. Americans already are drastically cutting emissions, and the arguments in support of the tax undercut the very market mechanisms upon which supporters claim to rely."

Give Republicans the climate credit they deserve

"In the years since, Republicans have made tremendous strides on climate change. We have institutionalized big, bold goals anchored by clean energy breakthroughs, and even campaign on innovation as the best approach to solving the climate challenge."

As the President Calls for Investment in Infrastructure, Republican Lawmakers Engaged on Climate Have Never Been More Important

Numerous leaders of the “Eco-Right” write on RealClearEnergy about the importance of Republican lawmakers to engage on the issue of climate. “The Democratically-controlled Congress and Biden White House are moving full-speed ahead to decarbonize the U.S. economy. Republican voices, rooted in conservative principles, are crucial to ensure that the solution Congress comes up with is...

Democrats’ impractical energy policies won’t stop climate change

"Even if America totally decarbonizes, we will still have wildfires, droughts, flooding, and hurricanes because the rest of the world is still increasing its consumption of fossil fuels. China, one of the world’s worst polluters, currently burns seven times more coal than America, and last year, a report indicated it was adding 250 gigawatts more electricity from coal-fired plants. That’s the equivalent of the entire U.S. coal-powered fleet."

How the GOP Can Reverse the Progressive Advance

"On climate, for instance, Republicans have easy openings. The Green New Deal is an unworkably heavy-handed, top-down, 'more government' proposal that won’t work. For starters, 'the science' tells us carbon dioxide doesn’t respect borders. Ending all emissions in the U.S. would do almost nothing to lower global temperatures as long as China is building new coal plants. The answer is more innovation, less government and trusting markets over mandates."
