Under the Biden-Harris administration, the United States, a leading global producer of plastics, will now back a global treaty aimed at curbing the annual production of new plastics, which is expected to decrease U.S. manufacturing output. Initially, the U.S. favored a framework where individual nations would devise their own strategies , akin to the Paris Agreement, rather than imposing production limits, which was the European negotiators’ preference. This shift from a more decentralized...

WASHINGTON DC (9/10/24) – Last week, the American Energy Alliance released our 2024 American Energy Scorecard. We have since discovered that a tabulation error occurred in both the calculations regarding H.J.Res.27, a joint resolution rejecting an expanded definition of “Waters of the United States” under federal law, and the six-year scores for the Senators’ full terms.
