Energy Realism this past week critiqued those seeking to force renewables and electric cars into the marketplace with policy and not respecting consumer choice. Our Energy Braintrust expert Mark P. Mills, for instance, just looked at why the electric car fixation could horrifically backfire. 

Cheri Bustos and Brian West got us started last week: while so many of our politicians obsess over electric cars, alternative liquid fuels must play a role in the energy transition that we keep hearing so much about. The reality is that oil cars are nowhere near “going away,” so there must be a spot for biofuels to expand the domestic stockpile of liquids supply. In fact, with over 270 million oil cars and just a few million that run on electricity, the Biden administration must think twice about forcing a “phase-out” of the internal combustion engine with draconian climate policy. Mandy Gunasekara thus gives us an even deeper dive into Biden’s new tailpipe rule. The U.S. Energy Information Administration projects that by 2050, only 9% of U.S. vehicles sold will be electric. Indeed, from the way that we fuel our cars to how we power our homeswash our dishes, and what we eat, the green obsessed are using the might of the federal government to force their quasi-religious edicts on the American people.

In turn, J. Kennerly Davis looks at the attack on direct fossil fuel usage in our homes in particular. The forced switch to electricity by greens is an obvious problem because their twin policies of forcing naturally intermittent and more expensive wind and solar into the mix is clearly making our electricity supply less dependable. And our enemies around the world are taking notice. Lefteri H. Tsoukalas describes an innovative strategy to protect such critical infrastructure from terrorists and the rogue governments that wish to do us harm. Our Essential Reading must then examine the electric car outlook, from the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies. Depending on policy paths chosen, general projections suggest that the global EV fleet could reach 60 million or 200 million by 2030. No wonder then that an all of the above energy approach will remain so essential.
