The Conservative Climate Caucus represents the future of the conservative movement, one that asks tough questions and offers effective solutions to climate, energy, and environmental challenges.
Climate Policy by Judicial Decree
"The Obama Administration often used this 'sue and settle' strategy to bypass Congress."
The Swiss Say ‘No,’ ‘Nein,’ to Costly Climate Regulations
"From a broader policy perspective, the right way to ensure a cleaner and healthier environment is through free market principles, which have proven to deliver environmental success. The most remarkable improvements in clean energy use and energy efficiency over the past decades have occurred not as a result of government command and control, but because of advances in economic freedom."
The Modern Case for Competition in Power Markets
Almost by definition, a competitive wholesale market satisfies consumer preferences better than possible for a monopolistic market.
The American Public Favors Competitive Energy Markets – So Does the Environment
"Market competition is how the United States has established itself as a leader in so many different areas. With public opinion lining up with the practical advantages of competitive energy markets, deregulating energy markets and promoting competition among energy sources and producers is a no-brainer – both for consumers and the planet."
Reaching greenhouse gas emissions goals depends on innovation
"If the administration wants to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in an economically sustainable way, then his plan needs to focus on energy innovation like we have seen with wind, solar, and, especially, natural gas in recent years."
Endangered species recovery requires flexibility, not strict regulations
"The success of conservation policy must be measured by its outcomes — not by the number of, or stringency of, regulations. The focus must instead be on supporting local conservation efforts that use some of the most effective species recovery tools we have: private citizens and American industry."
Americans Know Energy Is Infrastructure
"Americans know what infrastructure is, and they know energy is central. Infrastructure affects everyone, everyone agrees it needs to be repaired, and everyone should have a stake in its success. President Biden and the Democrats would be making a huge mistake to try and shove yet another expensive, partisan spending package this summer in the name of infrastructure. It’s time for them to reach across the aisle and work seriously on behalf of America."
Biden’s Infrastructure Plan Confuses Costs for Benefits
"Despite the president's claim that his American Jobs Plan will be a generation-defining investment in the future, his administration remains committed to preserving outdated red tape that will inevitably impede whatever it ends up trying to build."
