| Energy Realism this past week focused on real energy solutions and the clear dangers of “green energy” fantasies. Guy Caruso gets us started: with Greens demanding that our mail be delivered via electric vehicles, the U.S. Postal Service should not be a test dummy for the administration’s speculative goals, and it is an insult to taxpayers to treat it this way. Mail service is already suffering in terms of slowdowns and higher costs to consumers. Indeed, this anti-oil agenda is causing a drastic shortage of crude oil, gasoline, and diesel fuel. Nate Scherer realizes that President Biden’s new “plan” to give leases for drilling is not a serious one. Yet, we do have real solutions. While it is true that any relaxation of federal permitting will not have an immediate effect on domestic crude production, that does not mean it will have no effect. It is worth pursuing regardless of the timeframe. Although Greens selectively choose to ignore the progress, the U.S. oil and gas industry is becoming increasingly cleaner. Chris Romer explains the commitment that companies have to reducing their emissions and reaching net-zero goals. When it comes to addressing climate change, by embracing the Measurement Economy, we can make actionable progress on emissions and pursue net-zero with authenticity. The energy unrealists, however, continue to push back on nearly all practical and affordable solutions. And this even includes non-carbon nuclear power. Unfortunately, America’s nuclear industry now seems willing to play the game. Gordon Tomb says that the nuclear power business should focus more on addressing people’s irrational fear of low-level radiation rather than adding to the hysteria around global warming. In any event, the centerpiece strategy to lower emissions is more natural gas, easily our most vital power source at 40% of generation. We keep hearing about power warnings for the coming hot summer. Todd Snitchler knows that more gas is what will prevent blackouts or power rationing from Texas to California. The “only renewables” pipedream of Greens is already making our grid far less reliable. This is why Robert Bryce demands that now is the time to end the lavish subsidies that renewable companies continue to reap. He looks at the pushback in Ohio, where residents have decided to “just say no” to Big Wind. The backlash in rural America against the landscape-blighting encroachment of giant wind turbines is piling up. Our Essential Reading this week therefore is from Power The Future. For example, the progressive Green New Deal is not a market-based solution but one that will rely on huge tax and spending increases and over regulation to achieve its faulty aims. American families and businesses stand to lose the most, saddled with much more expensive, but far less reliable, “green energy.” Just ask spiraling Europe how that embrace is going.
