| This week, Energy Realism focused on restrictive, impractical, and expensive energy policies that could be implemented with Joe Biden declared the winner in the presidential race. Jason Isaac argues that climate plans promulgated by leading Democrats like Biden and Kamala Harris are more about controlling choice than improving the environment. Steve Milloy pushes back on the Democrats’ anti-fossil fuel talk. Oil will remain indispensable, he observes; there are no battery-powered 747s, for example, and there never will be. As Daniel Turner suggests, energy under the policies of a Biden administration could become three or four times as expensive, just as it has under similar policies in Europe. That explains why, as Hayden Ludwig and Kevin Mooney maintain, the Trump administration made the right call by exiting the Paris Agreement on climate. America deserves energy polices that put our own manufacturing jobs, national security, and prosperity first. More broadly, Rupert Darwall points out how, thanks to the coronavirus, governments now know that they can impose draconian restrictions on their citizens – and how this knowledge will serve them well in their efforts to impose net-zero carbon mandates that will shrink individual choice and personal liberty. Darwall also argues that extreme climate policies that raise energy prices disproportionately hurt minority communities – especially Latinos and African-Americans – and other low-income groups.
