Energy Realism last week focused on a really simple concept, well, energy realism!

Jason Isaac got us started last week: an emerging climate case in Hawaii demonstrates just how ridiculous climate litigation inevitably is. Sue fossil fuel companies? What a disastrous idea. Fossil fuels meet 80% of our energy needs. In contrast, Dan Byers and his team at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have a much better idea. Let’s continue and expand our critical energy partnership with Canada, now easily our largest foreign oil supplier. American energy security depends upon furthering our relationship with our northern friends, an essential that is now under threat. But not just oil, Alina Clough explains why Kamala Harris’ energy-climate dreams are a threat to natural gas development in critical Ohio, thus a threat to the U.S. gas supply system. We wonder if Vice President Harris even knows that gas generates a whopping 45% of U.S. electricity, way above second place nuclear at 18%. Indeed, we must conclude with our Senior Fellow Rupert Darwall. The living legend once again brings the heat: the evidence to date clearly shows that China does whatever advances China’s economic and ultimately its geopolitical interests. That is a lesson for America’s political leaders: if the U.S. wants to prevail in the geopolitical contest with China, it, too, needs to drop the Biden-Harris goal of net zero and embrace energy realism.
