Guest Post by Robert Bradley, Jr. of Master Resource. A fallacious argument in the energy/climate debate is that wind and solar are cheaper than fossil fuels in electric generation. It must be wrong because government subsidies are front-and-center for on-grid dilute, intermittent energies. And it
Thank you! One other point on ESG that I only recently became aware, the large Banks, IMF, World Bank and corporations have bowed to environmental extremist pressures and even if savvy energy and electricity generation companies wanted to build a new coal plant, they would have great difficulty in finding financing. Not only government but also Blackrock, State Street and Vanguard public funds control, if I remember correctly $20 Billion in assets and this is basically invested in "Woke" businesses. Vivek Ramaswamy's book, "Capitalist Punishment" outlines how small groups of "Green Freaks" can be offered to serve on the Board of say, Exxon or Chevron and then they can leverage their influence with the help of Blackrock and other fund manager's to establish harmful internal policies. This without the knowledge or permission of the investors. To say we have a difficult mess to clean up in government is a gross understatement. Weaponized EPA, SEC, ESG, BLM and the list goes on....Thank you Thomas and Robert for all you do to help restore sanity in energy policy
Trying to get a handle on destructive behavior is going to take an outright energy crisis imo. MSM won’t tell the truth and most people do care because it hasn’t hurt them enough to notice yet.
