| Energy Realism this past week looked at the banking collapse, and why nuclear power doesn't get more support. And ultimately, we demand that the fossil fuel industry start promoting its essential products more. End green bullying now. On quite the eventful week, our Senior Fellow Rupert Darwall got us started. It really is true what they say: “you go woke, you go broke.” The sudden collapse of Silicon Valley Bank occurred just days after Congress passed the Braun-Barr resolution, which overturns the Biden administration’s “Prudence and Loyalty” rule and its encouragement of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing by pension managers under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. The timing could hardly be more instructive. For our energy-climate discussion, what is most frustrating is how ESG advocates outright ignore the obvious environmental downsides of their beloved: higher cost, less reliable wind and solar power. Collister Johnson, Jr. looks at the case of building offshore wind facilities off the East Coast, right where whales are suddenly turning up dead wherever we see development. Predictably, there doesn’t seem to be any federal officials at Bureau of Ocean Energy Management raising any eyebrows over the problem. And why doesn’t ESG favor more nuclear power? It truly is the most shocking thing. Julia Nesheiwat arguesthat more nuclear power is a U.S. national security imperative. Unfortunately, Fukushima changed the world’s course on pursuing clean and highly reliable nuclear, and provably unreliable renewables have been give priority. Indeed, as costs and energy bills have been skyrocketing over the past 10 months, Jennifer Schubert-Akin believes that we require an energy policy rethink. Simply put, climate change policy could be doing far more damage than climate change itself. For example, Tucker Davis explains how the progressive dream of “ending coal” has really been a nightmare for America’s less fortunate in particular. Coal is far more reliable, affordable, and increasingly cleaner than greens want you to know. Way too soft for way too long, our Essential Reading then comes from Alex Epstein, and his plan for how the fossil fuel industry must learn to fight back. Promote your products friends; they’ve been great for humanity.
