New research finds that immigration over the last two decades has ***increased*** the wages of less educated native workers by about 2%.
Good news of the day: The federal government is shifting away from credentialism and toward skills-based hiring.
Green groups will really be like "you believe in permitting reform? that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, only permitting the good projects" and then not permit the good projects

The Cardinal-Hickory transmission line would complete a plan to connect 24 gigwatts of clean electricity projects to the grid. It has been blocked by an injunction for the second time in five years and exemplifies the "litigation doom loop," writes to @ArnabDatta321 &…

Many years review times and heavy litigation is the result of a legal environment created by Congress, judicial rulings, and decisions made by federal agencies. We can not switch to cleaner and cheaper energy if this legal gauntlet is not greatly limited.

Great new post in Slow Boring by @ArnabDatta321 and @EnergyLawProf! Excessive litigation is the heart of the problem with NEPA and many permitting delays. And clean energy increasingly gets the short end of the stick. x.com/AlecStapp/stat…

The “litigation doom loop” is a huge problem for clean energy deployment. Solar projects that receive the strictest level of NEPA environmental review have the highest litigation rate: 64% By contrast, fossil fuel projects only have a 32% litigation rate.

Don't listen to the doomers. Projected global warming has fallen by a third since 2014. Progress on climate change is possible with public & private investment in clean technology.

Good news on permitting reform! The Department of Energy is giving a categorical exclusion from NEPA environmental review to: - transmission projects that use existing rights of way - solar projects on disturbed lands - energy storage projects on disturbed lands
It’s time to put an end to the NIMBY non-profit industrial complex. There are 100s of example like this where non-profits have taken it upon themselves to stop much needed development in the name of their mission. In reality, it hurts their mission and everyone around them.

If headline editors would just add “using NEPA” to every headline where it applies we would have real permitting reform within 3 months. Frankly they are doing the world a disservice by not adding those two words every time.

I’m pretty despondent about environmentalism. From anti-nuclear protests to Ehrlich-style misanthropy to whatever this is, so much of it feels toxic. But I care, or want to care, a great deal about the environment more broadly. What would healthy environmentalism look like?
