✂️ Deregulation for Climate Tech

Cut the tape

Fellow Climate Warriors,

Howdy do. We know the constant flow of disturbing news can be overwhelming—and many are tuning out—but we didn’t want to let a potentially interesting opportunity slip through the cracks.

ICYMI, last Friday the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) posted a Request for Information (RFI) soliciting ideas for deregulation.

HERE’S a link to the RFI.

While it’s clear the federal government is laser-focused on environmental deregulation, there are strong arguments to be made for deregulation that just so happens to support climate tech as well. If you’re going to cut away, might as well go all in, right?

If this administration truly wants to achieve “energy dominance” and make the country self-sufficient, the incoming deregulation tsunami should take an all-of-the-above approach. We should be producing jet fuel from captured carbon, biodesigned palm oil, wool from waste, packaging from seaweed—you get the idea.

Any regulations slowing down such innovation should be cut—and cut immediately.

We strongly encourage all CTC readers with well thought out deregulation ideas to submit proposals for the Deregulation RFI before the May 12th deadline!

HERE’S what ChatGPT came up with to get your wheels spinning.

That’s all, for now.

Be a circle, not a square.

Warmly,

CTC
