| Energy Realism this past week focused on why President Biden’s energy-climate plans hurt the most vulnerable most, the exact opposite of what the administration is claiming. When it comes to President Biden’s hugely expensive infrastructure plan, Larry Behrens knows waste when he sees it. As a candidate, Joe Biden was the recipient of an unprecedented donation effort from Big Green. As president, he is now making sure his supporters are getting a solid return on their investment. The president’s climate obsession will undeniably bring higher cost energy. Just ask California and Europe. Robert Bryce confirms that such policies hurt lower-income Americans the most, namely communities of color. We simply must insist that all Americans have access to affordable and reliable energy. RealClearEnergy offers up a Q&A with Rodney Sanders, Vice President of Velocity Telecom, on how his firm is helping all of us stay connected through the devastation of Covid-19. Mark Green says that such a domestic energy plan must begin with oil and gas, alreadying meeting 70% of our needs. Any claim that domestic climate action brings domestic climate benefits must be questioned: by definition, climate change is a global phenomenon and the U.S. accounts for a declining 13% of all CO2 emissions. Simply put, the world is far too poor to give up the affordable and reliable fossil fuels that supply nearly 85% of all energy. Tilak K. Doshi and C.S. Krishnadev look at the sad case of India, the largest most energy-deprived nation on the planet. Climate change models that purport to predict an impending apocalypse lack credibility in the eyes of many in the developing countries, where the real environmental problems are inherently associated with poverty and the lack of economic development. Joel Kotkin and Hugo Kruger realize that de-carbonization is a very dangerous plan to effectively power down the developing world. Good intentions with very cruel results. Essential Reading Erin Blanton & Samer Mosis, Columbia Center on Global Energy Policy As governments and companies consider options to decarbonize their energy systems, addressing greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) will inevitably become a greater concern. As seen with carbon-neutral LNG, it is in the gas industry’s best interest to go beyond the procurement of carbon credits to negate the emissions from gas and LNG.
