Energy Realism last week focused on how energy realism is, well, starting to win the day. When it comes to sensible energy and climate policy, the American public gave us hope last November. Governor Chris Christie got us started last week. It is beyond time for the Oversight Board to complete PREPA's restructuring, end the bankruptcy, and allow Puerto Rico to move forward. Until then, the promise of PROMESA will remain unfulfilled and the specter of a lost decade for Puerto Rico ever more likely. Next, Duggan Flanakin kicks net zero dreams to the curb. Voters last November rejected the grandiose plans of the Biden Administration to abandon gasoline- and diesel-powered engines, natural gas hot water heaters and other appliances, and coal- and gas-fired power plants. But who foresaw the total reversal of the anti-business regulatory climate of the past 50 years? Green dreamers should take note. Unfortunately, Benjamin Zycher is forced to give us an update on more meritless lawsuits against fossil fuels. You know, a fossil fuel business that meets 80% of our energy needs, yet gets attacked at every turn by zealots that, apparently, lack even a basic understanding of physics and economics.
