Energy Realism this past week focused on the self-inflicted UK fuel crisis and why our climate experts should not be the untouchables that many have made them out to be. Senior Fellow Rupert Darwall kicks us off by examining the wind obsession in the UK: a green nightmare now causing a fuel crisis across the country. Simply put, this is a harbinger of things to come for those that ignore the obvious limitations of weather-dependent energy. President Biden though wants to inflict on us the exact same policies that have proven so destructive. Suzanne Walker gives a heart-wrenching personal account of how Biden’s cancelation of the Keystone XL oil pipeline hurt her family. Energy fantasies cost Suzanne her job and the ability to support her children. Daniel Turner explains how Biden’s energy-climate plan of blocking domestic oil production now has us, inexplicably, begging OPEC and Russia to produce more. Think about that, with rising gasoline prices, instead of turning more to our own leading oil-producing machine, we are asking a 13-member cartel and Vladimir Putin to bail us out. This is how bad things have gotten so quickly. Indeed, as Jude Clemente points out, there is a moral benefit of U.S. fracking that opponents just ignore. And why are we basing so much of our energy-climate agenda on experts that have been proven wrong time and time again? Gordon J. Fulks argues that a gaggle of experts chosen by someone with political motives certainly has no monopoly on the truth. The experts keep telling us, for instance, that renewable natural gas should be a green focus. Jane Marsh knows this is bad advice: biogas incentives encourage waste production, something we should, pretty obviously, be trying to avoid. Essential Reading James Henderson, Anupama Sen, The Oxford Institute for Energy Studies The ongoing global energy transition to decarbonization offers up new opportunities for both companies and countries. This energy path will focus on displacing fossil fuels with renewable energy but there is no “one-size-fits-all” approach. The required transformation presents the challenge of our time and will require a total rethink of the energy systems that power our economies.
