Iain Murray of the Competitive Enterprise Institute writes about one of Margaret Thatcher’s speeches:

For classical liberals and Burkean conservatives, it can become dispiriting to witness relentless attacks on a system that has given us all so much.
I was delighted, then, to come across this rousing defense of free enterprise from Margaret Thatcher in 1975. At this point, Britain was still a social democracy — something to which the conservatives had acquiesced for far too long. Thatcher had been elected to lead the Conservative Party only a few months before. “Free Enterprise is an essential part of Britain’s future,” she began her speech. “Free Enterprise provides . . . jobs, exports, wealth and inventiveness. These four — they are the basis of our prosperity. They depend on Free Enterprise.”
Those words were true in Britain in the 1970s and they’re equally true about America today. We dismiss them at our peril. Let’s consider each in turn.

Benjamin Zycher of the American Enterprise Institute argues that canceling oil and gas leases isn’t really about climate change at all:

Instead, it would be a vast understatement to observe that “climate change” has become the default excuse for any number of adverse events — no further explanations needed — including many unrelated to climate phenomena. It also is the go-to rationale for the administration’s perverse ideological opposition to fossil fuels generally, and its various policy stances in pursuit of the Biden net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions goal. That objective is impossible simply as a matter of engineering, even apart from the staggering costs of pursuing it.
But never mind. Let us examine the “climate change” rationale for the cancellation of the Alaska and Gulf lease sales.
