| Energy Realism this past week discussed the importance of supporting our energy and mining industries, and why the court wars greens want to wage against them are so destructive to economic and climate progress. Mandy Gunasekara got us started last week: every day we flip on the lights, charge our phones, and fuel our cars without thinking twice about the very industry that makes it all possible: U.S. energy. This cornerstone industry of modern life and a key ingredient to America’s success is too often taken for granted. But this month, the Independent Women’s Forum has established a National Energy Appreciation Day to recognize the dedicated men and women who toil tirelessly to power the nation — fueling our homes, businesses, and aspirations. And as the energy transition continues to play out, this lot of everyday heroes will continue to extend to include our miners of increasingly vital materials. Andy Kireta Jr. explains to us the importance of copper, which we should all be deeming “the new oil.” Inherent in electric cars and a wide range of renewable energy technologies, policymakers across the land must view copper as a critically important commodity. But instead of considering any of these facts, intransigent greens seem only obsessed with suing our energy and mining industries over “ignoring the science on climate change,” or what other rationality they want to give. David Flemming looks at the climate litigation disaster looming in Connecticut. A recent Montana court decision on environmental rights may soon have significant legal and economic implications on the Constitution State, especially if the state adopts a “green amendment.” Our Essential Reading then comes from the Heritage Foundation. The Biden administration’s objective to “combat” climate change through financial regulation is a bad idea. Such regulations on American business, and thus consumers, will have little impact on climate change, but will raise costs, create barriers to entry, and reduce productivity.
