With oil over $80/barrel and gas prices are rising, it's a bad time for Biden to ban oil development on 13 million acres in Alaska. Heritage Foundation dailysignal.com/2024/04/19/ame…
Biden’s executive branch overreach, placing parts of Alaska off limits to the development of oil, natural gas, and critical minerals, makes America weaker and more dependent on China. Heritage Foundation dailysignal.com/2024/04/19/ame…
Earth Day is April 22, and once again President Biden is putting the American people last by today’s actions that put parts of Alaska off limits to the development of oil, natural gas, and critical minerals. Heritage Foundation dailysignal.com/2024/04/19/ame…
Chattanooga Volkswagen workers rejected UAW in 2014 and 2019. Should they do so again this week? Auto jobs at UAW's Big 3 have declined, and some moved to China. washingtontimes.com/news/2024/apr/… Heritage Foundation
#Voting for Volkswagen unionization starts today. Big Three are laying off Detroit auto workers because unionization raises costs for cars. Do Volkswagen workers want to risk their jobs by voting yes? washingtontimes.com/news/2024/apr/… Heritage Foundation
#Voting starts today: Do Volkswagen workers want to pay over $1,000 a year in UAW dues to shore up Big 3 Detroit pensions and pay union bosses' salaries? washingtontimes.com/news/2024/apr/… Heritage Foundation
Don't let cyclists die. Petaluma's City Council has a responsibility for the safety of residents and tourists that it spends funds to attract. dailysignal.com/2024/04/08/tru… Petaluma Argus-Courier Heritage Foundation
Death sentence for some cyclists: Petaluma City Council considers new bike lanes along D Street, designated truck route with fire station.

I regularly bike to work, and I prefer routes without trucks. Most cyclists agree.

Crazy that Petaluma City Council wants to build bike lane along truck route with fire station, named by Sonoma County as a street with the most severe injuries.
Cyclists will die.

If NYC truly wanted to reduce congestion (rather than taxing drivers to bail out transit), it could reduce bike lanes and docking stations; keep more curb space for deliveries; get rid of dining areas in roads. Heritage Foundation nationalreview.com/2024/04/new-yo…
In NYC below 60th Street, giving a ride to a sick person for a doctor’s appointment, or picking up a parent to go to your house for lunch, will now cost an extra $15 tax. Make them ride the subway? nationalreview.com/2024/04/new-yo… Heritage Foundation
Congestion taxes hurt the elderly and poor and don't always reduce traffic jams. London’s congestion charge has been in place for over 20 years, yet London tops the world in traffic delays. Heritage Foundation

New York's new congestion tax to bail out public transit will hurt elderly and poor people and contribute to the flight from the city. nationalreview.com/2024/04/new-yo… Heritage Foundation
Did you know that requiring electric vehicles lowers global temperatures by only 0.0065°C in 2100? All our questions answered by Marlo Lewis cei.org/blog/questions… Competitive Enterprise Institute Heritage Foundation
How can truckers take two hours off the road to recharge?! EPA's out-of-touch rule to have 25% electric trucks by 2032 would raise costs of everything we buy. Heritage Foundation epa.gov/regulations-em…
Banning gasoline-powered cars has disproportionate effect on small businesses and agriculture = higher prices for services and food, more inflation. Heritage Foundation dailysignal.com/2024/03/21/bid…
