Progressive Politicians Are Regulating Their Own Projects Into Oblivion
"A well-functioning marketplace requires rules—institutions such as property rights, an unhindered system of profit and loss, and a fair and stable law of contract. It also requires an abundant level of freedom within the confines of these institutions. Fundamentally, most government interventions into the market tinker with these institutions and hamper that freedom."

FuelCell Energy Takes Step Toward Commercializing Carbon Capture Technology with ExxonMobil
"The modules will use carbonate fuel cells to efficiently capture and concentrate carbon dioxide streams. Combustion exhaust from an external source, like a flue stream, will be directed to the fuel cell, which electrochemically reacts fuel and air to produce power, while capturing and concentrating carbon dioxide for utilization or permanent storage. The modular design enables the technology to be deployed at a wide range of locations, operate at high efficiency, and advance business goals at hard-to-decarbonize industrial and commercial applications."

It’s Time to Modernize America’s Nuclear Power Policy
"The United States can continue to be a leader in nuclear power, but only if the government modernizes its regulations to allow innovators the freedom to innovate. Allowing the inefficiencies and delays that ensnared the Vogtle project to continue will not only impede reductions in carbon emissions but also harm national energy security and reliability for businesses and consumers."
