"The battle to feed all of humanity is over. In the 1970s hundreds of millions of people will starve to death in spite of any crash programs embarked upon now." - @PaulREhrlich the media’s leading environmental expert for 50+ years, 1968 #Catastrophizing https://t.co/LnaaTfIDYs — PolitiTweet.org

“[people who don’t understand resources] think resources are a finite pile nature gave us, versus nature gave us a basically infinite pile of raw materials that we can transform into resources if we use our intelligence.” With @DouglasCarswell https://t.co/rre8TNBdzc — PolitiTweet.org

“Real energy leadership by the US would mean passing policies that make possible energy abundance today using fossil fuels and nuclear fission… this Administration has opposed fossil fuels and done nothing to decriminalize fission.” https://t.co/AiKpNP9dSH — PolitiTweet.org

“Another threat to diesel investment is government threats and punishments for high profits—e.g., today’s calls to seize ‘windfall profits.’ This is another signal to investors that government will punish them if they manage to succeed.” https://t.co/tnIGNsSbW7 — PolitiTweet.org

“It's like a deep hatred for humanity itself, but even at the expense of the planet. And so I still struggle with trying to comprehend that, there's a kind of existential guilt there for the crime of existence itself.” – @jordanbpeterson https://t.co/GblJxkjpF1 — PolitiTweet.org

RT @BasedMikeLee: .@AlexEpstein is right: the House needs to hold hearings on these timely and critical energy topics. — PolitiTweet.org

Step 4 of the IRA's recipe for destroying American energy: Give more power to anti-fossil-fuel activists. "Environmental justice" activists have handicapped US energy, especially crucial infrastructure like pipelines. The IRA offers billions of $ for activists to do more damage. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Step 3 of the IRA's recipe for destroying American energy: Give the EPA more power to restrict fossil fuels. The EPA’s use/abuse of its existing powers has crippled our grid and handicapped our FF industry. The IRA gives the EPA much more dollars and power to do far more damage. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Step 2 of the IRA's recipe for destroying American energy: Impose new oil and gas taxes during an energy crisis. At a time when we and the world desperately need more oil and gas the IRA imposes 4 new taxes on the oil and gas industry that make production more expensive. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Step 1 of the IRA's recipe for destroying American energy: Make us more dependent on unreliable electricity by 1) reducing the supply of reliable electricity via solar and wind favoritism and 2) increasing demand for electricity via EV subsidies and other electricity subsidies. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
The "Inflation Reduction Act" is a 4-step recipe for destroying American energy: 1. Make us more dependent on unreliable electricity. 2. Impose new oil/gas taxes during an energy crisis. 3. Give the EPA more power to restrict fossil fuels. 4. Give more power to anti-FF activists. — PolitiTweet.org

Essential hearing 4: The Orwellian "Inflation Reduction Act": a 4-step recipe to destroy American energy This hearing would discuss the consequences of the IRA on US energy. It could be held by: @housebudgetGOP, @WaysandMeansGOP, @HouseCommerce, @GOPoversight, @NatResources — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Reforms: To avoid a Europe-style fate, or worse, the US needs to 1) liberate responsible development; 2) stop its attack on our grid’s reliability; 3) change its emissions strategy to long-term reduction through liberating innovation (especially nuclear), not punishing America. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Fact: America is even more dependent on China for many of the key components of solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries than Europe is on Russia for natural gas. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
The #1 lesson of Europe’s natural gas dependence is this: European governments have wildly overestimated the ability of solar and wind to provide the energy they need and wildly underestimated the need for fossil fuels and nuclear to provide the energy they need. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Fact: Europe’s vulnerability to Russia was completely preventable. Europe and its allies have all the natural gas, coal, and uranium they need for low-cost, reliable heat and electricity for generations to come. But anti-fossil fuel, anti-nuclear policies have neutered Europe. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Fact: Europe has extreme dependence on Russian natural gas because Europe has foolishly restricted fossil fuel and nuclear energy production on the false promise that unreliable solar and wind could replace it. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Essential hearing 3: The Lessons of Europe’s Energy Crisis This hearing would discuss what to learn from Europe’s energy crisis, their dependence on Russia, and how to avoid the same mistakes. It could be held by: @HouseForeignGOP, @HouseIntelGOP, @GOPoversight, @FinancialCmte — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Reforms: The 3 basic policy changes needed to end the electricity emergency are 1) stop rewarding unreliable electricity, 2) stop EPA policies that prematurely shut down coal plants, 3) stop forcing EV use. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Fact: Batteries will not make unreliable solar/wind reliable! Battery storage is expensive and can only provide a given "capacity" (e.g., 1 GW) for a few hours, and only then if fully charged. Planned batteries are nowhere near enough to compensate for solar/wind's unreliability. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Fact: Since at any given time solar/wind can go near zero, using them as replacements for reliable power plants doesn’t work. For example, TX’s Feb. 2021 disaster was caused by solar/wind disappearing and inadequate investment in reliable power plants and their weatherization. https://t.co/aJ7JCxy6nC — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Fact: The next 7 years are scheduled to be a bloodbath of reliable capacity retirements. There are 93 GW of announced coal plant retirements, plus up to 92 more GW are at risk retiring early due to new EPA rules. That's almost ⅕ of our already-scarce reliable capacity shut down. https://t.co/fh3aqf6AdH — PolitiTweet.org
