| Energy Realism this past week focused on the dangers of climate alarmism and the need to recognize fossil fuels for exactly what they are: affordable, reliable, and irreplaceable. Robert Hefner gives us the real threat behind the climate obsession: climate alarmists have portrayed the problem [of climate change] in such an extremist way that they have convinced a growing army of climate warriors that even terrorism is justified. Another part of the very dangerous “green dream” is to limit crude oil exports, either to somehow lower crude and gasoline prices here or to reduce emissions by limiting access to the world’s most essential source of energy. Mike Sommers realizes the great folly of the anti-export push: in reality, it would increase energy prices here by discouraging new production while treacherously handing even more of the global market to OPEC and Russia. Let us be clear, this is all part of an anti-American energy plan. President Biden has asked foreign nations to increase oil supply while at the same time promoting and implementing policies slowing American energy development. It seems almost impossible to believe. Ultimately, President Biden’s climate problem comes down to physics. The hard truth is that non-dispatchable (i.e., usually unavailable) sources of energy like wind and solar simply cannot displace dispatchable (i.e., usually available) ones like oil, coal, and gas. As such, our goal to lower emissions must be practical, or we have no chance. David T. Stevenson knows that this means focusing on cutting GHG emissions at exiting power plants, namely coal and natural gas units. Carbon capture investments are essential because carbon-based fuels are so ingrained in our energy supply system that they “cannot not be used.” In fact, the International Energy Agency has had carbon capture at the heart of its 2050 climate roadmap for a very long time. Wind and solar are just too high cost and unreliable to go it alone. Essential Reading Michael Lynch, Energy Policy Research Foundation Inc. The evolution of the world’s oil market continues apace. Perhaps the biggest change is that climate change policies in the West could hand more of the market to the Middle East and Russia. Efforts to discourage the production of oil are entirely misplaced since consumption is not driven by supply but demand.
