Why did the US Army pay a Chinese company $1.28 billion for at-home COVID tests? The transaction brings the total number of kits the DoD has ordered from iHealth Lab at more than 350 million, putting the company at the heart of the government’s effort to boost capacity. iHealth Lab sells its at-home COVID-19 rapid antigen tests directly to consumers for
$8.99 each.

This supremacy was announced once again this past Thursday on the pages of The Wall Street Journal: “The Biden administration is planning for an end to its practice of paying for Covid-19 shots and treatments, shifting more control of pricing and coverage to the healthcare industry in ways that could generate sales for companies, and costs for consumers, for years to come.”

The Big Bet on Natural Gas Is Blowing Up in the World’s Face: It’s not clean, it’s not cheap, and it’s not a bridge fuel to anyplace good. Throughout the 2010s, natural gas was portrayed as a near-miraculous energy source that could fight climate change, lower energy costs, and clean up the environment. It would be a “bridge fuel” that would help eradicate coal and provide the on-demand power that renewable sources like solar and wind could not. A decade later, the supposed dream of natural gas has become a nightmare.

# Environment / Climate / Interior / Infrastructure A community sacrificed to uranium mine pollution: A mining company and government agencies repeatedly said they’d clean up waste in Homestake, New Mexico. Instead, they’re buying out homeowners. Interviews with residents, along with radon testing and thousands of pages of company and government records, reveal a community sacrificed to build the nation’s nuclear arsenal and atomic energy industry. Time and again, Homestake and government agencies promised to clean up the area.

Democrats designed the climate law to be a game changer. Here’s how: In a first, the measure legally defines greenhouse gases as pollution. That’ll make new regulations much tougher to challenge in court. When the Supreme Court restricted the ability of the Environmental Protection Agency to fight climate change this year, the reason it gave was that Congress had never granted the agency the broad authority to shift America away from burning fossil fuels.

The climate law’s methane catch: The $369 billion climate bill signed into law by President Joe Biden last week will tax methane emissions. But the policy comes with a catch: Roughly $1.5 billion in grants and loans to oil and gas companies to help them measure and address those emissions. It turns out that the only politically viable way to punish fossil fuel companies for their emissions was to dish out a new subsidy for the industry.
