Leave a Comment / Commentary & In the News /

Following the release of its new policy report, Key Principles for State Data Privacy Laws, The Buckeye Institute takes to the pages of The Hill to offer a free-market approach to data privacy laws. “More than two decades of Washington’s inaction on data privacy prove that whatever Congress may say about the subject, it cannot be trusted to pass responsible, comprehensive data privacy rules. And certainly not in time to save the country from a patchwork of ham-fisted European-style laws.”

Leave a Comment / Commentary & In the News /

At RealClearPolicy, The Buckeye Institute exposes California’s hostility to an oil and gas industry that Californians rely on for more than 70 percent of their energy needs. “Without big oil, California will soon be entirely dependent on expensive foreign crude. And for Governor Newsom, that seems to be a feature, not a bug. Joining a long series of misguided policies, pledges, and commitments, his lawsuit is just the latest skirmish in the state’s multi-theater war on U.S. oil.”
