Kerry: Countries that Depend on Fossil Fuels ‘Have to Buy into’ Transformation that Private Sector Is Scared of
Breitbart ^ | 09/22/2023 | IAN HANCHETT

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Alex Wagner Tonight,” Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry told countries that say they need fossil fuels for development that “they have to buy into this transformation” to green energy that he acknowledged “the private sector’s restrained against investing” in, “partly just out of concern, not confident.”

Guest host Ayman Mohyeldin asked, “I was interviewing the Iraqi prime minister today, who’s desperate to get his country’s economy back on track after 20 years of war, but at the same time, a lot of it goes through fossil fuel. How do you convince a leader like the Iraqi prime minister, and other countries around the world, who desperately seek economic progress through fossil fuel, which is the largest part of their economy, to not do that because the rest of us –?”

Government planning has always worked out so well. Let’s ask the Jews how well government planning worked for them.

No, they don’t.

Though a few dozen new nuclear plants wouldn’t hurt.

The notion that oil and gas companies must "transform" into new energy companies in order to survive is flawed. Fossil fuels continue to dominate the global energy mix and will do so for decades to come. While renewable and alternative energy sources are growing, they still make up a small fraction of total energy consumption. It is not realistic or reasonable to expect major energy companies to abandon their core business models and investments in fossil fuel production on some unrealistic timeline.

Private companies should not be compelled or "de-risked" by governments to invest in certain sectors or technologies. The free market, not government intervention, should determine how and where private capital is deployed. If companies see opportunities in new energy sectors that make business sense, they will invest accordingly based on their own timelines - not some arbitrary schedule set by climate activists or the United Nations.

The claim that fossil fuel demand will be "markedly" lower by the end of this decade is not grounded in facts. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, even in their most optimistic renewable energy growth scenarios, fossil fuels will still make up a majority of energy consumption in 2030 and beyond. Oil and natural gas will remain essential to meeting the world's energy needs for the foreseeable future.

In summary, the notion that oil and gas companies must hastily transform into renewable energy companies to comply with some unrealistic climate agenda should be rejected. The free market should guide business decisions, not government intervention or environmental alarmism. Fossil fuels will remain essential for decades to come regardless of subsidy-dependent growth in green energy sectors.

Natural gas is the way to go.

And coal. Lots of coal. Just to piss off these libtards. Pennsylvania sits on 214 Trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the Marcellus shale formation. The Utica shale formation is below that and it is completely untouched. That’s estimated to be another 38 Trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Pennsylvania’s coal reserves are estimated to be seven billion short tons.

That’s a lot of inexpensive energy that these Marxist want to deny Americans because of pseudo science and blatant lies.

If the government’s ideas are so beneficial then why do they have to force people to accept them? Good ideas and good policies sell themselves; there’s no need to pressure people into accepting them. Just saying.

How the hell do we “kill off” this global warming farce and all of government’s dream to change our climate....which is an impossibility to start with.

Um, unfortunately it will involve “killing off”. Marxists have a century of history devoted to killing well over a hundred million people. The real question is will it be them or us?
