How will the Inflation Reduction Act affect my state? The IRA got passed in large part by offering various payoffs to various states. Whatever benefit you get from those payoffs pales in comparison to higher energy costs, an unreliable grid, and a worse economy. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
What’s your position on the “IRA”? It’s a 4-step recipe for ruining US energy: 1. Make us more dependent on unreliable electricity 2. Impose new oil/gas taxes during an energy crisis 3. Give EPA more power to restrict fossil fuels 4. Give more power to anti-fossil-fuel activists — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
What’s your position on EVs? EVs are a valuable product for certain people but not yet cost-effective for the vast majority of us. Let EVs compete on a free market; don’t in any way pressure anyone to use them before 1) they can afford them and 2) the grid can handle them. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
What’s your position on nuclear power? Nuclear power is an extremely promising technology that is uniquely safe and clean, and has the potential to be cost-effective. Tragically, nuclear has been nearly criminalized by governments. We need radical reform to decriminalize it. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
What’s your position on solar and wind? Solar/wind should be required to compete on a real market. In the context of electricity that means generators using solar/wind should be held to the same reliability standards as everyone else. Currently they’re not—which is disastrous. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
The root cause of our grid’s reliability problems is simple: America is shutting down too many reliable power plant… https://t.co/21BM7h9Kxj
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
The best source of energy in any situation is what business and consumers *choose* as best on a free market with reasonable anti-pollution laws. If something can’t compete on these terms then we shouldn’t use it—whether it’s animal dung, solar, or wind. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Do you believe in “all of the above?” No, I believe in “always the best.” We should always use the best form of energy for the job. E.g., we don’t use animal dung for energy in the US, even though it’s “one of the above.” — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Why is Europe in a far worse energy crisis than we are? Europe has taken anti-fossil-fuel policies further. For example, while we have allowed fracking to produce abundant energy Europe has largely banned it. With the “Inflation Reduction Act” we are getting closer to Europe. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Why don't oil/gas companies drill more despite record profits? O&G would like to profit much more from currently high prices but it is difficult to increase drilling short-term under the present regulatory regime and investors are scared about more government punishment. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Why did gasoline prices get so high this year? While multiple factors, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, played a role, the fundamental cause is US and international anti-oil policies that prevent supply from rapidly increasing to meet demand. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
What’s your plan to deal with CO2 emissions? My plan is: 1. Recognize that CO2 emissions reduction can only be achieved humanely and practically a) long-term and b) through developing globally cost-competitive alternatives. 2. Liberate nuclear and other promising alternatives. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Are you a climate denier? I’m a *climate thinker*. I recognize that climate is ever-changing, that humans have some influence, and that humans with plentiful energy can master virtually any climate. That's why, as CO2 levels have gone up, climate disaster deaths have plummeted. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Do you believe in climate change? I believe in climate *change*, not climate *catastrophe*. The world has warmed ~1° C in the last 170 years. Humans have some influence. But because we're so good at mastering climate, climate disaster deaths fell 98% over the last century. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
What is your energy policy? I support Energy Freedom, including: 1. Liberate responsible development 2. End preferences for unreliable electricity 3. Reduce long-term CO2 emissions via liberating innovation 4. Decriminalize nuclear — PolitiTweet.org

Snappy answers to energy questions This election season candidates are getting lots of energy-related questions. Here are pro-freedom, pro-human answers to some of the most popular ones. 🧵👇 — PolitiTweet.org

“The Inflation Reduction Act adds numerous taxes and restrictions on fossil fuels that will increase the cost of producing them… all during an energy crisis where fossil fuels are desperately needed.” https://t.co/AWpVMELLBD — PolitiTweet.org

“Calling the Manchin Green New Deal the ‘Inflation Reduction Act of 2022’ when it is guaranteed to drive up energy prices and therefore all prices, rivals ‘War is peace’ and ‘Freedom is slavery’ for accuracy.” https://t.co/BfnaEKrY1M — PolitiTweet.org

Manchin’s self-righteous response after he couldn’t get enough votes from pro-development *or* anti-development Senators on his superficial, unAmerican, and corrupt “permitting reform.” Truly “unfortunate” is that Manchin passed the IRA—Putin’s wet dream. https://t.co/f3RXY8hhl8 — PolitiTweet.org

Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Summary: Manchin’s “permitting reform” involves superficial improvements as far as permitting goes—but does fundamental damage to our country via corrupt, unAmerican tactics. Tell your representatives to reject this monstrosity and take up real permitting reform ASAP. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Those, including me, who think real permitting reform is necessary and the current Congress won't pass it should call for a better, pro-energy Congress. We should not support this Congress enacting fake permitting reform using tactics that undermine our Constitutional Republic. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Some may support the Manchin bill, including its potential (corrupt) inclusion in a Continuing Resolution bill, because "This Congress and President won't pass permitting reform any other way." If that's the case, it's still good to reject a weak, corrupt, unAmerican bill. — PolitiTweet.org
