‘Tis The Silly Season With A Looming Winter Of (Energy) Discontent
Tilak DoshiContributor
Energy
I analyze energy economics and related public policy issues.
No, this article is not about a socially-distanced, house-bound suburban family in lockdown zero-covid mode engaged in a game of charades with face masks on. Nor is it about the prospect of a Christmas that promises broken supply chains and bare shelves around the world for all the cheap goods made in China which is suffering from coal shortages and power blackouts.
This article is about the mounting absurdities of the climate change crusade that is now the religion not just of highway-blocking Insulate Britain and Extinction Rebellion zombies but also of Prime Ministers and Presidents of the world’s leading democracies.
Silliness in energy policy is nothing new of course. President Carter delivered his “moral equivalent of war” speech in 1977 and gave the following litany of dark predictions:
“The oil and natural gas we rely on for 75 percent of our energy are running out.”
