Tim Walz, V.P. Kamala Harris’s choice as her vice presidential running mate and Governor of Minnesota, has one of the most extreme state-level records on “clean energy” in the United States, rivaling Governor Newsom in California. In 2023, Walz signed into law a target for Minnesota to get 100 percent of its power from zero-carbon sources  by 2040, having signed legislation prioritizing the creation of “greener” plants in areas that previously featured fossil-fuel plants.  Coal has...

Rep. John Curtis and his opponent in Utah’s open U.S. Senate race, outdoor activist Caroline Gleich, want you to know that even though they both want to protect the environment, they support very different pathways to get there.

But their shared focus on climate policy has divided the support of Washington, D.C., interest groups on what is typically a Democrat-dominated issue.

[...]

But it would be a stretch to say Curtis enjoys complete support from the energy industry.

Vice President Kamala Harris’ choice Tuesday of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate is spiking enthusiasm among climate-focused progressives — and fossil fuel supporters backing former President Donald Trump.

Walz, a 60-year-old former school teacher and football coach with military experience, has a long energy record that is under renewed scrutiny from both the right and left.

[...]

But the same Walz energy policies that are animating the left have Trump allies...

Presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ claim that she no longer supports a ban on fracking contrasts with what she said five years ago. Just before she dropped out of the 2020 presidential race in 2019 and joined President Joe Biden’s ticket, at a CNN town hall, she made it clear that she very much supports banning hydraulic fracturing (fracking}. She said , “There’s no question I’m in favor of banning fracking and starting with what we can do on day one around public lands,...

Construction of U.S. solar-manufacturing plants by Chinese companies is surging, putting China in position to dominate the industry, as other American factories struggle to compete despite federal subsidies.  Chinese companies will have at least 20 gigawatts’ worth of annual solar panel production capacity on U.S. soil within the next year, enough to serve about half the U.S. market. The group includes seven companies  backed by Chinese firms including Jinko Solar, Trina Solar, JA Solar,...

The Biden-Harris administration is considering further restricting oil development in Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve (NPR-A), the nation’s largest swath of public land. The Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will be soliciting public comment  on whether to expand or designate new “special areas” in the 23-million-acre reserve. The move could extend the areas of the NPR-A that are mostly off limits to drillers and stymie new exploration for oil in the western...

President Biden ended his reelection campaign on Sunday, July 21, under mounting pressure from Democrats following his poorly received debate performance.

However, there is still some degree of uncertainty looming as Democrats hurriedly work to assemble a new 2024 ticket before the party’s convention on August 19-22 in Chicago.  

Harris' stance on energy, both during her tenure as a senator and as a candidate...

The Biden administration plans to award General Motors and Chrysler-parent Stellantis nearly $1.1 billion in grants to convert existing car manufacturing plants to build electric vehicles and components.

The plants are...
