“A shift from petroleum products, such as gasoline and diesel, to electricity will require a new statewide charging infrastructure, and could impact the viability of the state’s thousands of gasoline stations. And it will need to upgrade a grid already in need of significant overhaul.”
“As a country prospers, its citizens are better able to care for the environment and reduce pollutants emitted from industrial growth.”
“When it comes to making the hard choices over how best to invest taxpayer dollars, ensuring that America is a global leader in advanced nuclear power is a critical and responsible investment. With all the talk of the radical 'Green New Deal,' it’s shocking to see nuclear energy pushed aside by some on the left even though it is carbon free electricity.”
The SEC’s decision to exclude Scope 3 emissions was a win for businesses. However, the Commission’s complex reporting rules still add undue costs to consumers and the private sector.
"Data centers and AI computing have triggered a historic increase in near-term electricity demand, catching utilities and grid planners by surprise across the country. Some utilities are looking to increase their investment in gas turbines to keep pace with demand, but that approach locks in new carbon emissions for years, if not decades. Google’s Arizona strategy models a different path: bringing dispatchable clean energy online in the places where it’s building the data centers."
"Farmers would be compensated for taking these steps, either directly by the government or by corporations that seek to offset, or cancel out, their own emissions.”
"Despite these massive hydroengineering efforts, China can’t feed its own people or supply enough water for its industrial economy. More than 75% of China’s surface water supply is contaminated and undrinkable. Under current United Nations standards, the amount of water available in Beijing places the megalopolis in a state of 'extreme water scarcity.' Much of China’s farmland is too polluted by heavy minerals and salinization to grow edible crops. China is now the world’s largest importer of feed grains, accounting for 60% of global imports of soybeans. It also imports 70% of its cooking oils."
Climate change is a threat to the health, safety, and livelihoods of all Americans. There is no simple solution, but creating further division is a guaranteed path to failure.
"Furthermore, offshore wind continues to be one of the most expensive forms of electricity generation. That high-priced juice will cost ratepayers untold billions of dollars over the coming years."
Making immediate expensing a permanent fixture of the tax code would provide businesses with the confidence and stability needed to undertake ambitious, forward-thinking R&D projects and investments in more energy efficient equipment.
