Solar Power's Explosive Growth: Deregulation as the Key?

2025-03-24

Solar power has become the cheapest new electricity source in many US regions, but adoption hinges on market structure. Deregulated markets, where entrepreneurs can readily pursue profits, have rapidly embraced solar. Conversely, regulated utilities lag due to legacy investments and bureaucracy. To accelerate the renewable energy transition, the US needs greater deregulation, enabling private capital to build a cleaner, larger grid. This is crucial to meet surging energy demands from emerging technologies and maintain global competitiveness. The article highlights the dramatic cost reduction of solar and contrasts the rapid adoption in deregulated states like Texas with the slower progress in regulated ones like Tennessee.

America's Drone Lag: Why Commercial Markets Are the Key to Defense Innovation

2025-03-03

America's drone industry is hampered not by technological shortcomings, but by the FAA's outdated regulations stifling large-scale commercial drone adoption. In contrast, Europe's more permissive regulatory environment has fostered companies like Manna, whose commercial success underpins military applications. The article argues that a thriving commercial drone market would revitalize America's defense industrial base, driving down costs, accelerating innovation, and breaking free from reliance on established defense contractors, mirroring Lockheed's WWII success built on a foundation of commercial aviation. The author calls for the US to emulate European and Chinese approaches, streamlining regulations, and supporting commercial drone development to gain a future defense advantage.
