Commentary: Conservatives reclaim environmental mantle with renewable natural gas plan

When you look back at the past decade of energy and environmental policy in America, it’s hard to fully comprehend how quickly things have changed for the better.

There are many factors behind this rapid change, but when you step back to look at the big picture, there’s a common theme: Private sector innovation and smart public policy are working together to develop homegrown sources of energy under the world’s toughest environmental standards.

Rest assured, this isn’t a mandate coming from Congress or a big federal agency. Instead, it’s the work of scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, elected officials, public servants and concerned citizens in state capitals and communities all across the country.
