The The Payne Institute Simon Lomax & Morgan Bazilian look closely at one energy transition not going so well in The Colorado Sun. Nothing to do with technology or innovation, everything to do with markets, trade, policy, &geopolitics. #solarenergy #EnergyTransition coloradosun.com/2022/05/17/sol…

Great piece from The Western Way visiting fellow, Simon R. Lomax via the Deseret News on #Utah mining and renewable energy. "To be clear: Securing a domestic supply chain for critical minerals and clean energy technologies will not happen on its own." deseret.com/opinion/2022/7…

Thanks to recent growth and planned expansions in domestic solar manufacturing, including First Solar's #Ohio facility, it's more economical to mine tellurium in #Utah and secure a domestic supply chain. Learn more from The Western Way 👇

In our latest in Financial Times, Simon R. Lomax and I discuss the fundamental importance of permitting and social license to meet infrastructure, energy security, and climate goals. An honor to appear in "Energy Source". Thanks: Derek Brower & Myles McCormick ft.com/content/56420a…

In our The Payne Institute latest in Financial Times, Simon R. Lomax and Morgan Bazilian discuss the fundamental importance of permitting and social license to meet #infrastructure, #energysecurity, and #climate goals. With Derek Brower & Myles McCormick ft.com/content/56420a…

Aspirations for manufacturing, energy security, climate change, and clean energy all hinge on deploying massive infrastructure. That only happens with much better systems for planning, permitting, and community engagement. We discuss in FT Energy: ft.com/content/56420a…

For infrastructure to be built, we need to dramatically change our approach to planning, permitting, and social license to operate. We spell it out in the Financial Times: ft.com/content/56420a…

“Global gas markets are demanding lower methane intensity from natural gas, and as gas importers and exporters work through the challenges of (measurement, reporting and verification) to prove up claims of low intensity, eyes will once again turn to CO” coloradopolitics.com/opinion/colora…

Colorado’s @RepGabeEvans and Rep. Jeff Hurd are rightly prioritizing energy investments – keeping energy costs low for Coloradans by fighting to keep the federal energy tax credits in Congress. Read more from Simon Lomax in the The Gazette:
