"Chinese leaders will be only too happy to make future promises on climate in return for American acquiescence today to their security priorities of Taiwan, the South China Sea and Huawei. Sending Mr. Kerry to negotiate with Chinese President Xi Jinping on climate is a recipe for returning home dressed in a barrel. An obsession with climate will turn a U.S. security strength into a vulnerability."
Few states better illustrate the promise and peril of the global debate around climate and energy issues than Alaska.
"Party leaders should continue efforts to support clean energy industries and implement policies that continue investing in tomorrow’s technologies today. The jobs and economic data don’t lie — the clean energy sector has been an economic engine that has allowed our nation to depend less on foreign oil, while also mitigating the impact of climate change in our communities.”
"Increasing access to nature for more Americans in a responsible manner is a tried and true method for instilling a passion for environmental stewardship. In fact, it’s the sportsmen and women, hikers, mountain bikers, and rock climbers who are some of our nation’s greatest conservationists. These nature enthusiasts want to protect their backyards, and the more people we get outside, the more stewards we will have."
"China has mastered the technology to design and construct gigawatt-class nuclear power plants with pressurized water reactors, it adds. Breakthroughs have also been made in ‘multiple frontier technologies including those associated with fast reactors and advanced small modular reactors.’"
“Biden’s goals include carbon-free electricity by 2035, more wind and solar to get the nation to net-zero emissions and 100% clean energy by 2050."
“In a recent paper in the journal Nature, Yushin and his co-authors argued that new battery technology needs to be developed that uses more common, and environmentally friendly materials to make batteries. Researchers are working on new battery chemistries that replace cobalt and lithium with more common and less toxic materials.”
"Although final details and permits have yet to be worked out, an Iowa agribusiness company announced plans on Friday, Feb. 19, to build a $2 billion pipeline network that will carry liquefied carbon dioxide from ethanol plants in four states to underground storage in North Dakota."
"'Any uncertainties in the development process can definitely create higher costs for customers and make it more difficult to get some of the clean energy goals that the Biden administration has over the finish line.'"
As the 2021 Index of Economic Freedom reminds us once again, it is the freer economies that do far better job of achieving more dynamic growth while creating a healthier, cleaner natural environment.
