"The effort to restore first-year expensing of research and development investments is about more than tax rates and federal tax receipts. It is central to our nation’s long-term economic competitiveness and ability to win the future in a world in which power is defined in terms of technology and innovation."
"A world of greater abundance in resources means a world in which people are better nourished, better clothed, warmer in the winter, cooler in the summer, and more prosperous. It's a world in which human ingenuity is set free to make the human race happier, healthier, and wealthier."
"While other approaches like composting or methane-eating microbes can also help reduce methane emissions, ADs are proven and scalable now and offer the biggest bang for the buck. U.S. organic waste is a huge climate liability if left unaddressed; it’s also a major renewable energy resource that remains largely untapped. Scaling up ADs can change that."
"Worse, absent changes to the climate laws, Zuber predicts more residents and businesses will leave New York because of skyrocketing energy costs, including the cost to build new transmission lines for renewal projects, not to mention the vast subsidies needed to build those solar and wind plants."
"LanzaTech’s approach is to take waste carbon emissions from an industrial site and inject them into a bioreactor with the bacteria. From there, the bacteria digest the gas to produce ethanol and a protein coproduct."
"Across the nation, nuclear energy is making a comeback, and it’s no surprise why. We must continue advocating for this clean energy source from Capitol Hill to individual states and communities. The energy grid of tomorrow depends on it."
Both the left and the right should be troubled by the economic cost, inequity, and environmental futility of EV subsidies.
"In fact, a 2013 congressionally sponsored National Research Council study, led by the father of climate economics and future Nobel laureate, Yale’s William Nordhaus, concluded that green handouts and tax breaks are 'a poor tool for reducing greenhouse gases and achieving climate change objectives.'"
"Perhaps EVs are the future of transportation. If so, consumers will adopt them by choice over time, and the necessary infrastructure will be developed in due course, just as it was for automobiles a century ago. But putting the mandated EV cart before the charging infrastructure horse is a prescription for an expensive policy that is doomed to fail."
"TerraPower’s design has another unique feature. Most reactors can’t easily adjust their power output, making it hard to mesh with fluctuating wind and solar farms. TerraPower’s reactor will have a molten salt battery that allows the plant to ramp up or down as needed."
