Energy Realism this past week discussed the obvious problems with the “the Biden energy plan” and the real value of U.S. natural gas, which should be central to his program. Kyle Isakower makes it clear: President Biden’s anti-oil, anti-gas polices are obviously part of our higher cost energy problem. The Biden administration is in crisis mode over the high price at the pump. Despite polls earlier in March showing that Americans support sanctions on Russian energy, even if it meant higher energy prices, the administration is feeling the heat. Akash Chougule explains how these bad energy policies are not just increasing our costs but are also eroding American energy security. The unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine is a stark reminder of how connected energy security is to national security. We do know that gasoline will remain essential to the U.S. energy complex. Benjamin Zycher looks at how President Biden’s policies have surged the price of our most important fuel. Until 2025 at least, we can expect more gimmickry, more mendacity, more incoherence, and more perverse policy stances. A huge part of our domestic energy platform simply must be “more natural gas.” Gregory Wrightstone confirms how gas is now increasingly our go-to fuel for high reliability and to lower emissions. America can even fuel the world’s needs for clean-burning natural gas for many decades to come and still have plenty left over for our own domestic requirements. President Biden’s goal to stop U.S. gas production is not just a win for Putin but a loss for the environment. For example, Pennsylvania, and its Marcellus shale gas play (the largest gas field in the world) now supplies nearly a quarter of U.S. gas. With so much more in the ground, Kevin Mooney describes how Green Groups continue to undermine The Keystone State’s energy future. We all stand to lose because of anti-energy campaigns that receive financial support not just from outside of the state, but also possibly from outside of the U.S. Indeed, our Essential Reading this week comes from the Kleinman Center for Energy Policy at the University of Pennsylvania. Although these studies are sadly becoming more politically risky (academia has increasingly become less practical in promoting “renewables only”), the “gas is good” proof is in the numbers: abundant shale gas has drastically lowered energy prices for the state’s residents and businesses.
