** New survey, same results: Likely voters of all stripes oppose a carbon dioxide tax.
------------------------------------------------------------
Daily Caller ([link removed]) ([link removed]) (1/9/23) reports: "Only a small fraction of likely voters in swing states think one of President Joe Biden’s key issues, climate change, is the most pressing problem faced by the country today, according to the results of a new poll. The survey, conducted by MWR Strategies, found that 3% of respondents pointed to climate change as the most important problem facing the U.S. today, while 59% of respondents identified the economy and inflation as either the most or second most important issue for the country. When asked how much money respondents would be willing to pay to fight climate change, the median answer was $10, with 35% of all respondents and 17% of Democrats surveyed indicating that they would not want to pay anything...The poll also found that 51% of respondents, including 63% of polled
Republicans, said that they opposed an energy tax on imported goods. The December 2023 poll, conducted by MWR strategies and sponsored by the American Energy Alliance (AEA) and CTUP, surveyed 1,600 likely voters in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Michigan, Missouri and Ohio with a 2.45% margin of error. The results could be a troubling sign for Biden as the 2024 campaign heats up, as massive regulation and spending related to climate change have been key pillars of his first term’s climate agenda...'The results reconfirm what we already knew: voters are not willing to pay any tax associated with carbon dioxide or energy – including a carbon dioxide or energy tax on imported goods,' Tom Pyle, president of the AEA, said of the poll and its results. 'Those who believe in limited government and free energy markets continue to be allied with the vast majority of voters with respect to the destructive and pointless nature of carbon dioxide taxes and on the fundamentals of the
issue of climate change.'"

We know Secretary Jenny and the rest of Team Biden wants to raise energy prices here at home. Now they're going after the rest of the world.

(1/9/23) reports: "Key Biden administration officials met over the weekend to discuss criteria for new liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities, according to several reports. The officials, assembled by White House climate adviser Ali Zaidi, met on Saturday to come up with a recommendation for President Joe Biden on potential changes to the climate-related criteria the federal government uses to approve the construction of new LNG export terminals, a move which could derail the construction of key facilities, according to Bloomberg News. The meeting occurred against a backdrop of escalating pressure from left-wing environmentalist groups that vehemently oppose further development of the facilities, especially the Calcasieu Pass 2 project in Louisiana, while American allies in Europe are pushing to access more U.S. LNG. Officials reportedly involved in the review process include Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Senior Adviser to the President John Podesta, Deputy Energy Secretary David Turk
and Brad Crabtree, the assistant secretary for the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management, according to Politico. The DOE is examining its evaluation system for proposed projects’ climate, geopolitical and domestic economic impacts, a senior Biden administration official told Politico...However, any decision that would severely hamper the expansion of LNG export terminal facilities could also draw the ire of foreign allies in Asia and especially in Europe, which is particularly interested in growing its access to American LNG as the continent looks to shift away from Russian supply, according to the American Petroleum Institute."
If heat pumps are so great and so cheap, why do they need a federal subsidy? 🤔

Coal is keeping the lights on around the world. Sorry, Special K.

(1/9/23) reports: "As climate diplomats at COP28 in Dubai debated an agreement to transition away from fossil fuels last December, India was facing another energy conundrum: It needed to build more power capacity, fast. 'To meet growing demand,' the Indian government said on Dec. 11 it expects to roughly double coal production, reaching 1.5 billion tons by 2030. Later, the power minister Raj Kumar Singh set out plans on Dec. 22 to add 88 gigawatts of thermal power plants by 2032. The vast majority of which will burn coal. The move to invest more in the world’s dirtiest fuel – one of the biggest contributors to global warming – may seem counterintuitive for the South Asian country, which is highly vulnerable to climate impacts. Yet, as the country heads into elections during April and May, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is keen to avoid any risks of power shortages. Along with record heat waves India has seen big spikes in peak demand for electricity over two successive years. 'India’s policy
is to build everything. Push for renewables, but also push for coal and other fossil fuels,' said Sandeep Pai, director of the climate-focused organization Swaniti Global. 'The justification is an increase in power demand.'"
