| With the presidential election less than 50 days away, Energy Realism focused this week on a contentious topic: climate policy. The good news: there are some environmental solutions that Democrats and Republicans can agree on. Josiah Neeley, for instance, recognizes that we must make recycling more profitable. Current programs often blunt price signals to the point where Americans might not appreciate the value of what they’re throwing away. Other impractical climate policies interfere with a well-functioning market. RealClear Foundation senior fellow Rupert Darwall exposes the extremism of the quest for “net-zero” carbon emissions, and how green activists’ desire to rearrange our economic system will sink our chances for a post-Covid recovery. Major questions in the climate debate remain unresolved. Energy Realism recaps a study arguing that climate analyses have continually misrepresented the costs of higher temperatures, failing to factor in the role of human adaption. The push for “alternative energy” systems such as battery-powered electric cars has become a mainstay of climate policy—but Energy Realism evaluates a report finding that such a dramatic energy transition would pose challenges beyond basic economic costs.
