"Carbon-capture technology can gather carbon dioxide from smokestacks or other industrial equipment, compress and liquefy it, and then pipe it to underground storage locations. This project, expected to start in 2026, would capture about 800,000 metric tons of carbon a year from producing iron used in steel, and bring Exxon’s (XOM) total project pipeline to more than 5 million tons a year."
New Climate Report Emphasizes the Need for Energy Innovation
"The findings from the WMO report, and other related climate reports, do not paint a picture of environmental catastrophe. Nor are they an excuse to take no action. Instead, these reports should catalyze policymakers and the private sector to double down on an innovation agenda."
Relieving Traffic Congestion is Good for Drivers, Consumers, and the Planet

Is an answer to global overfishing and its subsidies on the horizon?
"After more than 20 years of negotiations, WTO members finally seem intent on reeling back the subsidies that fund these destructive practices. Last year, negotiators agreed to significantly curtail some fishing subsidies, including limiting or prohibiting them to 'Vessels or operators engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing or fishing-related activities in support of IUU fishing,' 'fishing or fishing-related activities regarding stocks that are overfished' and 'fishing or fishing-related activities on the unregulated high seas.'"
Innovation Vital to Sustain Climate Progress
"Not only can we make further progress on developing and deploying the breakthrough technologies we need, but we can also spread economic and near-term environmental benefits across the globe as we do it. We can thank many for getting us here, and we will continue to rely on our diverse and bipartisan partners to keep pushing us forward."
Biden’s plan to phase out gas-powered cars is all pain for consumers and no gain
"Through regulation, the Biden administration wants to put the U.S. on a glide path to California’s rule to eliminate sales of new gasoline-powered vehicles altogether by 2035. Just as many Americans enjoy driving electric vehicles, others prefer gasoline-powered cars. Their choice of cars should be preserved."
Socialism Is Bad for the Environment

New GOP Tax Bill Would Spur More Energy Innovation and Investment
As Congress looks to lower costs for Americans and drive energy innovation, it would be wise to embrace pro-growth tax policies like immediate expensing and expanding opportunities for privately-funded research and development.
Can We Achieve Sustainable Fishing on a Global Scale?
"Small-scale fishing communities tend to regulate themselves in a proactive way to ensure sustainable harvests: The regulators are the fishers, and the fishers are the regulators. The fishers in a certain area today will be the same fishers in that same area tomorrow, the next day and the next year. It is in their interest to catch enough to make a living but not so much as to deplete next year’s catch."
