Even Ernie agrees that the world needs America's freedom molecules.
E&E News (6/24/21) reports: "Former Energy Secretaries Ernest Moniz and Dan Brouillette said yesterday that the U.S. needs to continue exporting natural gas to support its allies around the world. Gas will continue to be an important source of fuel worldwide as more countries try to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, they said during a forum sponsored by the nonprofit group Meridian. Other speakers, including officials from Japan and Vietnam, echoed their remarks, saying gas will be important even as more countries try to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and as financiers press the gas industry to curb its pollution. 'It's going to be a transition, but I think that the ground truth is that natural gas is going to remain a very important part of the global picture,' Moniz said...Moniz, who was secretary during Obama's second term, credited the fracking boom of the 2000s and 2010s with helping reduce U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, mostly by replacing coal as a power plant fuel. Brouillette said the Trump administration viewed gas for its value as an export product, particularly in the growing liquefied natural gas (LNG) market. He said gas provides environmental benefits since it typically replaced dirtier fuels in the countries that bought it."

"Despite more than $100 billion already doled out to wind and solar companies over the past 30 years, the Biden plan would enrich investors, who are often very wealthy, in solar and wind plants with another $100 billion to $200 billion in the president's green energy scheme."
