Jeffrey Kupfer writes in The Hill on how US policies contribute to high energy prices.

  • To reduce emissions while protecting consumers, governments must pursue energy policies that are rooted in free markets and economic freedom.

“Even as we implement policies that pave the way for a lower carbon energy future, we need to recognize reality and the inevitable outcomes of our actions. We can’t dismiss the essential role of natural gas and oil in our economy. We can’t ignore the laws of supply and demand. We can’t shrug off the dramatic impact that these policies have on households and businesses.”
