| Energy Realism looked at the problems with the International Energy Agency, an incredibly important energy outfit that has now jumped-the-shark. Tilak Doshi got us started last week: Singapore’s partnership with IEA Paris may well be a regrettable decision. Ironically, its Southeast Asian neighbors are more likely to emulate Singapore’s historic “pragmatism” and decide their own destinies along Adam Smith’s path of free markets and human flourishing – the one described by IEA London. Anne Bradbury follows this up. As the most vital energy agency in the world, the IEA should not only make clear that oil and gas are needed for decades but should further highlight the leading and irreplaceable role that natural gas plays in global emissions reductions efforts. Bernard L. McNamee brings us all a much-needed reality check. Like so many issues in Washington, the need for more transmission lines is accepted without question and the costs are not considered. But for American consumers, especially low-income and elderly, as well as small businesses and energy intense manufacturers, building new transmission lines could result in much higher monthly bills and leave them on the hook for stranded assets. And as always, David Holt fills-in with explaining once again just how valuable low cost and reliable energy really is. Indeed, “going green” is going to cost us a lot of green.
