Energy Realism this past week detailed our new ESG and climate policy report, while also analyzing Western energy and climate hypocrisy. Bringing it strong this week. We must start off with Joseph Toomey’s recent RealClearEnergy report: “Energy Inflation Was By Design.” The “green dream” is a very dangerous and expensive one: increase the cost of fossil fuels, which are naturally more economical and more reliable (explaining why they supply 80% of the world’s energy), to force the adoption of renewables and electric cars (the dual panacea for the climate-obsessed). Kevin Mooney then details Toomey’s report, explaining how environmental activists now calling the shots in the White House want to drive the oil and gas industry out of business – all in the name of “fighting climate change” and without regard for the devastating effects on American families and businesses. Biden is taking his marching orders from the climate-obsessed who loathe constitutional government. To these dangerous and blind zealots, there’s nothing that “climate change” isn’t. Climate change is literally unfalsifiable: it’s too hot, it’s climate change…it’s too cold, it’s climate change…it rains too much, it’s climate change…it’s too dry, it’s climate change. That’s not science, so no wonder the greens seek to limit all debate. Madhav Khandekar and Tom Harris thus look at the real truth behind linking climate change to Hurricane Ian. Democrats and their one-sided media allies are lying to you. In any event, the pushback on wind and solar power – the “ultimate climate solution” for progressives – continues to prove much stronger than green dreamers want you to understand. Robert Bryce documents even more solar plants being blocked, even more wind farms being blocked. The reality is that renewables are nowhere near as green as advocates love to claim. They devour immense swaths of land and intrude on our lives. And globally, the backlash is growing because wind and solar are thereby usurping food production. Duggan Flanagan, for instance, realizes the sheer chutzpah of rich white Westerners demanding higher cost, less reliable energy for poor Blacks in Africa. Indeed, where are progressives when you really need them? “In the name of climate change” is really just about reinforcing Western white supremacy and “keeping Black people poor.” In the News Jude Clemente, Forbes Caitlin Doornbos, NY Post Sal Gilbertie, Forbes Stanley Reed, NYT Kate Abnett, Reuters ZeroHedge, Oil Price Jeff Eshelman, EID Andrea Marr, RealClearEnergy Frank Jossi, Energy News Network Sandra Laville, The Guardian Arthur Sullivan, DW Krista Larson, ABC News Tsvetana Paraskova, Oil Price Zahra Tayeb, Markets Insider Paul LeBlanc, CNN Piers Morgan Uncensored Just Stop Oil activist James Skeet joins Piers Morgan Uncensored alongside TalkTV's Richard Tice and journalist Jenny Kleeman to discuss climate protesters' roadblock method of protest.
