| Energy Realism this past week looked at nuclear solutions and the obvious requirement for bipartisan energy-climate policies. Anything else would be uncivilized. DJ Nordquist & Timothy Fitzgerald support nuclear power: the chickens of past energy policy choices have come home to roost in 2022. Importantly, rising fuel costs and climate aspirations have underscored the value of reliable baseload power from nuclear plants. Germany is the clearest example of a country forced to make a shocking policy reversal in the face of the new energy reality. Benjamin Khoshbin agrees that nuclear surely must get a re-think. Nuclear energy is actually cleaner than solar and wind, and is more reliable than coal and natural gas. If you told progressive environmental activists there was a carbon-free, zero-emission energy source that produces cheap electricity 93% of the time, you would think they would hail it as the ideal solution to climate change. But we simply must have better planning at both the state and federal levels. Marc Ang points to California as the example of “what not to do.” As demand for energy continues to outpace supply, we need commonsense, practical policy solutions that enable the U.S. to pursue energy security and increase production here at home. One key is grid reliability, especially as we look to utilize more amounts of renewables and electric cars. We have the very real problem of poor delivery of electricity actually discouraging our electrification goals. Rich Noland argues that the new “Inflation Reduction Act” offering market destabilizing subsidies, additional taxes, and support for further regulatory overreach could devastate the nation’s remaining coal fleet and consequently the reliability and affordability of our supply of power. Indeed, Kelsey Grant says that the IRA is actually a teachable moment for environmentalists. For a moment in time, activists and environmental organizations were forced to reckon with an unsettling reality: Democrats cannot and will not solve climate change alone. Climate change is a long-term problem, and partisan legislation can only offer a short-term fix.
