The Saltbush Club, an Australian group whose members include scientists, scholars, environmentalists, farmers, and business people, among others from a variety of disciplines and walks of life, was formed out of concern the Australian government’s energy policies and its participation in the Paris climate agreement were harming people and the economy, and is calling on Australia’s prime-minister to follow U.S. President Donald Trump’s lead and withdraw Australia from the Paris agreement.

An important thing to watch will be the extent to which Trump and the Republican Congress promote market-based energy versus picking winners through subsidy programs.

Too many presidential candidates court corporate cash by promoting ethanol.
