"California’s policymakers say they want new energy sources, but instead of cleaning up the state’s regulatory clutter and allowing private-sector innovators to innovate, they act as if government mandates can substitute for market-tested innovation."
"Perhaps the biggest roadblock is China, where about 90 percent of steel production is achieved using blast furnaces. In September 2020, President Xi Jinping announced that the country aims to become carbon neutral by 2060. In a bid to reduce pollution from domestic steel mills, which account for roughly 15 percent of the nation’s overall carbon emissions, Beijing has also pledged to achieve peak steel emissions by 2030. Even so, 18 new blast-furnace projects were announced in China just in the first six months of 2021, according to the Helsinki-based research group Center for Research on Energy and Clean Air."
"The time has come for President Biden and Congress to take the steps necessary to assure that America and its democratic allies have access to cutting edge, American made nuclear energy technology and ensure that safe, clean, and reliable energy is available globally to power open and democratic societies."
In the wake of high prices at the pump, elevated inflation, and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, energy affordability and energy security are at the top of Americans’ minds. Americans need affordable, reliable energy. They also want a clean, healthy environment. Free, competitive markets can deliver both. Join us for an online discussion on Wednesday, May...
"In Covanta’s energy recovery facility, waste is burned at temperatures around 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. There are 21 miles of pipes around the combustor, where the intense heat converts water into steam that turns a turbine, which powers a generator."
"The BP-Linde venture aims to start storing CO2 from Linde's hydrogen gas plants and seek additional customers for an up to 15 million tonne sequestration facility. BP will develop and permit the venture's subterranean sites and Linde will provide gas compression technology to the venture."
Reducing spending, streamlining regulations, reforming the tax code and reducing energy prices will do far more to control inflation and combat climate change than demonizing Jeff Bezos.
"LanzaTech’s innovation is in converting waste materials to ethanol, which is typically sourced from fresh fossil fuels-related carbon. It has turned steel mill emissions into Zara dresses and laundry detergent. With Bridgestone, LanzaTech will be turning tires into ethanol, which can then be turned into tires again."
"'The higher price is largely driven by supply and demand,' Nick Loris, vice president of public policy for C3 Solutions. 'Particularly with natural gas, which provides 38% of our electricity needs, we've been operating in an environment of constrained supply and higher demand.'"
"We cannot allow funding for conservation projects to disappear overnight. The revenue from offshore drilling is crucial to the American economy, to our energy security, and to the preservation of our natural and historical landmarks."
