| Energy Realism this past week focused home grown energy-climate solutions and how climate science has increasingly become non-science: no questions, no debate, no uncertainty. The exact opposite of what science really is. Brigham McCown gets us started this week by reminding us that everything on climate and energy must begin here at home. The stronger our public policy is at home, the fewer vulnerabilities are left that can be exploited by unfriendly nations. After nearly 50 years, the U.S. had effectively eliminated a significant risk only to see it now return due to ineffectual domestic policy. That risk is Energy. Joey Merrick must then point to an energy development project in Alaska that the Biden administration should be supporting most because it purports to support unions. And oil, of course, is our most vital fuel with no significant substitute whatsoever. George David Banks realizes that American industry is at the core of U.S. energy and national security. While both political parties agree on bolstering the U.S. supply chain and competitiveness, consensus on how to achieve those goals has been complicated by the partisan reconciliation process, which resulted in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). There will be no appetite on the part of Republicans in the next Congress to back another round of IRA-type industrial subsidies – an unintentional good outcome of the IRA’s politicization. But the emerging issue of “climate finance” might be the most politically divided subject of them all. Jennifer Schubert-Akin argues against the legitimacy of the “climate justice fund.” The climate justice fund has been a goal of climate bureaucrats for decades. Yet, this new international tax scheme is also the latest chapter in the same old story of Americans sacrificing their living standards to the climate change altar. Green, do not forget, is indeed the color of money. Kevin Mooney sees the same thing happening in his state of Pennsylvania. “Climate” and “emission reduction” regulations are surging the cost of energy, all for little to no tangible gain. The science being used to justify such policies is without merits. Our Essential Reading this week can then only come from the great Dr. Judith Curry from Georgia Tech. Her group documents how current “climate science” is not allowing the creative tension from disagreement, uncertainty, and ignorance that drives scientific progress.
