New fossil fuel subsidy just dropped. GOP plans to force private banks to lend to ANWR drilling projects, even if it hurts their bottom line, or lose access to the discount window. Folks, every accusation really is a confession. senatorkevincramer.app.box.com/s/6uve4alvjs...

I expected policy changes at the Fed under Trump-Musk, but halting climate economic research and education is a new low. “It’s the first time in my life I’ve had a set of students who uniformly wanted to learn something and were told that they weren’t allowed to do that,” Dr. Tufano said.

Being an (almost) one man agency dedicated to FOIAing the Federal Reserve takes a lot of time, effort and expertise. I really would rather not paywall this stuff, so take out a paid subscription. Plus, I also do contemporary economic analysis. www.crisesnotes.com#/portal/signup

Another important action from the Biden Admin to lead by example. If the federal government can do a GHG inventory, companies certainly can as well!
