"Climate policies drive up energy costs through two channels. The first are policies forcing energy companies to replace hydrocarbons with inefficient, inferior lower-carbon alternatives, notably wind and solar...The second channel is by progressively constricting the sources of energy supply, for example by Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investors preventing investment in new oil and gas fields, thereby increasing the market share of OPEC plus Russia."

Screaming the quiet part out loud. Climate cultists won't rest until theirs is the only game in town.

Time (4/21/23) reports: "Earth Day is upon us—that forlorn little non-holiday that some years sandwiches itself between Easter and Passover, or other years trails in the wake of those “real” holidays. If the Super Bowl is America’s unofficial national day of celebration, Earth Day is the collective yawn that brings a shrug. No recipes offer Earth Day chips and dips to serve when friends and beloveds gather in celebration of the miracle of a living planet. Because they don’t. Not even ours. For the two of us environmentalists—one of us nominally Jewish, the other a recovering Catholic—we find the ill-defined nature of the only day honoring the place that makes life itself possible more than a little sacrilegious. So, on this 53rd Earth Day we thought it useful to pose what a real Earth Day should represent and how it could form a central time for a new approach to worship...So, what would an earth-reverent belief system look like with Earth Day at its center? To begin with, let’s take a look at what established religions get right and where we might take a cue. Perhaps the first step might be, um, unearthing the nature-centered origins of our existing religious holidays...In short, we must make nature central to our belief system with Earth Day or any number of earth-focused ceremonial days serving as regular reminders of what we owe our home planet"

You can be worried about carbon emissions, or you can support 100% "renewables" but doing both isn't going to get you anywhere.

Hey Joe, the easiest way to stop bad policy is not voting for it in the first place!

The Hill (4/25/23) reports: "West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin (D) is stepping up his feud with President Biden by threatening to support a repeal of Biden’s landmark climate and prescription drug reform bill, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), which Manchin largely crafted last summer. Manchin thought he had a deal with the Biden administration to allow more investment in fossil fuel production over the next decade, but he doesn’t think the president is holding up his end of the bargain. 'If the administration does not honor what they said they would do and continue to liberalize what we are supposed to invest in over the next 10 years, I will do everything in my power to prevent that from happening. And if they don’t change, then I would vote to repeal my own bill,' Manchin told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview Monday evening. There’s no chance of a repeal bill passing Congress before 2025 as Democrats control the White House and Senate and view Biden’s climate investments and drug reforms as a major achievement. Manchin faces a tough reelection race next year in a state former President Trump won by large margins in 2016 and 2020. West Virginia’s popular Republican governor, Jim Justice, is expected to run for Manchin’s seat."
