For Earth Day, Congressional Republicans rolled out a suite of climate proposals intended to be their answer to Joe Biden’s proposals and the Green New Deal.
Awesome work!! Fascinating after-work palate cleanser. It is cool to see Congressional Republicans finally coming around at least a little bit on the need for climate-focused policy, rather than just shoving their fingers in their ears and yelling "La-la-la-la!!". A point I found particularly interesting is the idea of LNG exports as a lever we could use for promoting technologies like carbon capture around the world. On it's face at least the concept is compelling - energy independence and surplus exports as a way of (1) maintaining global hegemony in the face of challenges from China, and (2) promoting the potential adoption of green energy in developing economies potentially with multi-lateral trade agreements.
