| Energy Realism this past week looked at the bad energy policies and ideas continually spewed by the Biden Bunch. Jakob Puckett gets us started this week: America’s energy crisis is the epitome of a self-inflicted wound. While hari-kari creates teachable moments, the architects of America’s current energy crisis are learning all the wrong lessons. Jakob looks at RealClearEnergy’s latest report from Joseph Toomey. The Biden Bunch’s hatred of fossil fuels is creating supply shortages and skyrocketing the price of just about everything: fossil fuels meet 80% of U.S. energy demand. Nowhere is this more obvious than in California, where soaring energy prices have caused so many companies to leave the state. Rick Whitbeck exposes Gavin Newsom and the climate obsession of America’s greenest state. Robert Bryce also gives us an analysis on Toomey. It is clear that Biden’s team has a strategy that aims to choke off the supply of hydrocarbons while hyping renewables, electric vehicles, and other policies that are driving up the cost of energy and power. Michelle Michot Foss and Lucian Pugliaresi agree: bad energy policies never die. Price caps, banning exports, begging OPEC for more oil, and tapping our strategic oil reserve are all amateurish mistakes, made by those who do not understand how energy markets actually work. And yet, the Biden Bunch promote all of them at every turn. To the fearful leaders in our country, step out on your turf and support the domestic oil and gas industries in ways that will build investor confidence and calm markets. Greens should realize that bad policies actually block climate goals. Dan Ervin explains why the anti-mining movement from environments is the opposite of “going green.” Indeed, our Essential Reading this week comes from experts at Arthur D. Little. There is a growing push to install a massive fleet of battery-powered electric vehicles (BEVs) to displace internal combustion engine vehicles. Yet the question remains: do BEVs truly offer an environmental advantage with respect to global warming potential and secondary environmental impacts—and if so, at what cost?
