Energy Realism this past week detailed Biden’s energy mistakes and the recent giant court victory for us energy realists. 

Rick Whitbeck reminds us that we must start at the obvious beginning: Joe Biden is mostly to blame for our current energy crisis. His anti-fossil fuels, anti-domestic energy development obsession to appease the physics-ignoring green dreamers has put our entire country in a hole. And poor Americans are suffering the most. Tony Clark argues that because of the fixation on wind and solar power, blackouts are clearly here to stay. Our problems could actually get even worse as we obsess over unlimited amounts of such intermittent energy and power-devouring electric cars. And as pointed out by David Holt, this is all so much “needless suffering.” An all-of-the-above energy strategy is fine but the focus must remain on the most reliable: fossil fuels and nuclear power. Indeed, as the disaster under the “Big Guy” continues to unfold, Derrick Hollie just wishes that Biden would have stayed in his basement. 

The Biden administration’s push to block exports, for example, is incredibly short-sighted and harms allies right as they try and break free of Putin’s grip. Sam Buchan warns of such energy isolationism,” and the solution to most of our problems is obvious: encourage more domestic energy production on all fronts. Miles Matter and Chase Walker agree and note a silver lining through this entire debacle: ESG investing is slowing down if not slowly crumbling. Green dreams are being realized as the nightmare that they really are. Vijay Jayaraj applauds the West Virginia plaintiffs in their recent victory against an overreaching EPA.  Bold citizens everywhere must arise to reverse the devastating impact of climate policies. Robert Hargraves looks at how the recent Supreme Court decision reducing the authority of the EPA to regulate CO2 emissions from power plants must now open the door for fission power.
