Let’s Get Right into the Debate: Part 3
by Whit Ayres
May 7th, 2008

Over the last two weeks, I’ve been talking about the need to get conservative voices into the debate over energy and the environment (see part 1 here, and part 2 here). My views on these issues have generated quite a debate among our readers, and I’ve taken some heat over them, particularly when it [...]

Test-Driving Hydrogen Fueled Vehicles
by Tucker Eskew
May 5th, 2008

If you live in Washington, DC, New York or Southern California and see a driver in a Chevy Equinox pointing and laughing as you pull into your local gas station to fill-up, try not to take offense. That driver may be one of the lucky few who are test driving one of General Motors’ [...]

The New York Times had a fascinating article last month about the efforts of two scientists at the Los Alamos National Laboratory to turn carbon dioxide into gasoline – a project they call Green Freedom…

Our Oil Dollars at Work
by Tucker Eskew
March 4th, 2008

During my morning scan of yesterday’s headlines I couldn’t help but shake my head.
The saber-rattling antics of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hugo Chavez are back in the news. Ahmadinejad’s Iran faces another round of UN sanctions because of its pursuit of a nuclear weapons program. And Chavez is threatening to plunge the South American [...]

Oil Tops $100
by Whit Ayres
February 21st, 2008

The big energy news this week is that crude oil futures have once again passed the $100 mark, primarily due to political unrest in Nigeria and the possibility that OPEC may cut production in the weeks to come.
We understand that the U.S. uses oil to drive its economy because it’s inexpensive compared to other energy [...]

Right Conclusion, Wrong Solution
by Tucker Eskew
January 16th, 2008

Two surprising and valid new points of view to highlight today…
First, the American Enterprise Institute’s David Frum has written a new book advising how we conservatives can apply our principles to today’s issues. I haven’t yet read David’s book, but an excerpt recently appeared on AEI’s website under the title “The Conservative Case for [...]

A Good Start, Times Two
by Tucker Eskew
December 20th, 2007

First, President Bush signed an energy bill yesterday that would take a small step toward reducing our dependence on foreign oil. By raising CAFE standards for cars and trucks to 35 miles per gallon by 2020 and increasing the use of renewable energy four-fold by 2022, we will, estimates the bipartisan National Commission [...]

“National Security and the Threat of Climate Change”
by Tucker Eskew
December 3rd, 2007

In case you missed it ABC’s World News Tonight aired a segment Sunday night on the national security implications of climate change. It’s worth a look.
I blog a lot about how our addiction to foreign oil is a security risk for America. But the ABC piece digs much, much deeper. It highlighted [...]

It’s Time for an Intervention
by Tucker Eskew
November 13th, 2007

The threat to America’s security posed by our foreign fuel addiction is real. What you pay at the pump is funding some very bad actors, as shown in the excellent but downright scary article on this subject by Steve Mufson in Saturday’s Washington Post.

To limit pollution and reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources we should:

Implement a market-based ‘Cap and Trade’ solution
Increase taxes and government subsidies
Buy tickets to see Leo’s latest flop
Do nothing and hope it will get better
Undecided, but we do need to find a solution
