| Energy Realism this past week focused on why the Biden administration’s policy plans could prove to be a gift – for America’s competitors and adversaries. Senior Fellow Rupert Darwall agrees that China poses “the most significant challenge” of any nation to the U.S., and this fact, he believes, confronts the new administration with its greatest dilemma: “saving the planet” from climate change requires appeasing Beijing. Jakob Puckett analyzes how America can turn back China in the Middle East, home to nearly 50% of the world’s proven oil reserves and 40% of its natural gas. We need to strengthen our alliances and make smart military decisions to prevent a hostile power from taking over. And we surely must avoid earlier mistakes of nation-building and trying to remake a distant region in our own image. The Biden administration, however, seems primed for more mistakes on energy. Daniel Turner explains why canceling the Keystone XL oil pipeline is a huge fumble. This move seems like just the opening salvo of an energy agenda that will cripple the United States on many levels: jobs, cost of living, and opportunity. The administration is also forcing the U.S. back into the Paris Agreement on climate change, a dream come true for China because it will make America less competitive. Drew Bond and Tim Chapman argue that instead of revisiting Paris, Biden should pursue an innovation-led approach that can be replicated easily by other countries, not a heavy-handed regulatory policy similar to what already failed under President Obama.
