Natural gas should be part of the energy future

Too often, policymakers want to talk about issues in terms of black and white. In energy and climate policy, that tends to lead to the “renewables vs. fossil fuels” line of thinking. We’ve seen policymakers try to legislate away the use of fossil fuels in the U.S. (Rep. Tulsi Gabbert’s 2017 “Off Fossil Fuels” legislation)

The US government should end its war on natural gas

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) isn’t a household name. But this relatively unknown government agency exerts tremendous influence on the cost of energy and the overall direction of America’s energy policy. Though nominally an independent and unbiased administrative entity, FERC, like the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), has become highly susceptible to outside political pressures.
