"Biochar is typically made through a process called pyrolysis where organic material is heated to a high temperature in a low-oxygen environment, creating a high-carbon material. Biochar was used historically to enrich soil, making it more fertile for crops."
"'Because those are held out of the market, it’s 10,000 MW that consumers are paying for on their bills that are going to sit on the sidelines until we’re in a crisis,' said Michele Richmond, with Texas Competitive Power Advocates."
"Willow has earned ConocoPhillips scorn from environmental groups, who say the project will emit climate-warming greenhouse gases for decades.

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."
"As Chairman of the Congressional Western Caucus and Chairman of the Energy and Mineral Resources Subcommittee on the House Natural Resources Committee, we see the threat the Biden Administration poses to rural communities across the country, and we’re acting against it.
