“Polluters Over People.” That’s the summary of a new bill in Congress that is immeasurably dangerous.

Omar Qazi (@WholeMarsBlog on Twitter) has a very interesting take on the recent “Inflation Reduction Act” that is very cynical in regards to the EV tax credit. That doesn’t mean it is wrong, but it does go against my general rule of assuming people have good intentions. I’m willing to make an exception to that […]

The inclusion of an estimated $369 billion in energy security and climate change investments in a July 27–unveiled U.S. Senate budget reconciliation proposal has prompted jubilation from a range of energy sectors.

Guevarra made the point during the Senate inquiry to determine if the media giant […]

Several of those same individuals just bought new gas cars in the last year. That’s the problem!
