Energy efficiency standards should be crafted with consumers in mind. But the Biden administration’s net-zero energy agenda is already driving up the costs of common household appliances. Some estimates suggest Americans are paying 34% more for appliances compared to 15 years ago. Recent Department of Energy rulemaking targeting more than 15 consumer appliances under the […]
Values-based defensive alliances are valuable. They support mutual security, creating political space and incentive for profitable economic and cultural exchanges. Most important of all, such alliances help to deter potential and, where necessary, defeat adversaries in armed conflict. NATO is the most successful defensive military alliance in history. It greatly benefits Americans. But alliances require […]
In a surprise triumph over the populist National Rally, France’s left-wing political alliance came first in Sunday’s final round of parliamentary elections.
