Energy Realism last week focused on energy-climate policy once again; this time with how it is guiding the election come November. The great Daniel Turner got us started last week: yes indeed, among many other essential things, Kamala wants to ban your gas stove. She may be backtracking now, trying to move to the center, but the reality is clear: this is the most progressive energy-climate presidential candidate in American history. Lest we forget, Kamala as AG in California sued the Obama administration to block fracking. And she is surely going to support more endless amounts of taxpayer dollars going to the offshore wind boondoggle. Gordon Hughes makes it clear: offshore wind is not a viable energy option. Greens simply must get over that. In addition to the very large subsidies paid for from ultra-high electricity bills, federal taxpayers will contribute about $65 billion via tax credits if the Biden administration’s offshore wind target is met. No, we need real energy policies and resources for a growing population and economy. “Renewables only” is not just unrealistic from a physical and economical perspective, it is also an incredibly dangerous green dream. Just ask Europe. Dave Schryver looks at how energy policy is guiding our election. The stakes are very high: the 2024 general election could be the turning point in our country’s energy future, setting the stage for significant shifts in how Americans produce and consume energy for decades to come.
