Everything Emily Domenech said on any show that made the record, most notable first. Each card names its show and opens the statement there.
Domenech: The IRA will fail without bipartisan permitting reform
“There is a massive permitting backlog and the IRA is never going to be, you know, quote unquote successful. The Biden policies aren't going to be quote unquote successful unless there's a bipartisan investment in, in moving those permitting policies forward.”
Domenech: IRA risks Republican targeting unless Chinese subsidy access is fixed
“When you have somebody like on the left, Senator Joe Manchin, who made the IRA possible, pushing back aggressively against the Biden administration in terms of how they've implemented the law, concerns about
You know, foreign companies, Chinese companies that …”
Domenech: US emissions declined as fast under Trump as Biden
“Well, emissions declined at about the same rate under Trump as they have under Biden. In fact, they declined more in the first two years than they did under Biden. And a lot of that was driven by U.S. Natural gas.”
Domenech: Universal permitting reform benefits clean energy innovators most
“Republicans approach permitting as a, this should be across the board and fair for everyone. I say this as the person who negotiated the last permitting deal. We want to make this the most fair environment for every person who wants to build in America, which …”
Domenech: Trump will pivot DOE Loan Programs Office rather than eliminate it
“I don't think that the Trump administration immediately comes in and reflexively never uses the loan program again. I do think that the projects that they pick to invest in might be different. You might see a heavier investment on nuclear, for example. Hydroge…”
Domenech: US energy costs have risen 30% since 2021
“I might back away from Bidenomics, too, if energy costs had climbed by 30% since 2021.”
Domenech: Higher IRA price tag increases political risk under GOP
“So when we have things that cost way more than we expected them to do, that means that I think those policies have more risk in particularly a Republican administration, but probably in split government too.”
Domenech: Plug-in hybrids are far easier to integrate today than all-EVs
“I love a plug-in hybrid. I think plug-in hybrids are something that should be more part of the discussion there. It's way easier to integrate them into U.S. Society today, but there's some folks on the left who are like, it's gotta be all EV or nothing.”
Domenech: Micro-reactors have greatest impact by replacing diesel generators
“I'd spend it on micro-reactors, because that's where I think you can have the most impact around the world displacing diesel generators.”
Domenech: Arizona critical minerals plant took 14 years to receive permits
“I was talking to a company that does critical minerals processing the other day, and then he was talking about how their last project that they built in Arizona
They started trying to get permits in 2010, and they got permits to operate that facility this year…”
Domenech: IRA Section 45Q carbon capture credits originated from Republican bill
“45 Q, the carbon capture credits, are largely built out of a Republican constituency. They just got scooped up in the IRA. In fact, when it came out, I laughed because it was a bill that I had helped write.”
Domenech: Coal generates over 60% of power in China, 74% in India
“Coal still makes up 60%, 66% of their power generation. In India, it's 74%, and even in Germany, where we always talk about them being leaders in Europe on climate, it's 30%.”
