| Energy Realism hit on climate panic, shareholder activism, and the obvious value of natural gas. No kidding: gas easily leads and generates nearly 45% of U.S. electricity. Terrence Keeley got us started last week: the hysterical Laurel Collins – a New Democratic Party member of the Canadian House of Commons – has an odd habit of bringing her genitals into public policy debates. She felt so compelled on multiple occasions in response to testimony TK responsibly delivered to Canada’s Standing Committee on the Environment and Sustainable Development in Ottawa last week. Thank you, MP Collins, for vibrantly illustrating his point on hysterics. Tim Doyle & Robert Eccles chuckle and agree. A recent dispute between ExxonMobil and Arjuna Capital, a small impact investor, has received national attention. What started out as a simple dispute has morphed into a legal battle after Exxon decided to continue a lawsuit even after the activist investors withdrew their controversial proposal from consideration. This is a risky move for the company in terms of its already challenged reputation. Suing Exxon? Tristan Abbey argues that we should actually be thanking Exxon: it is a major producer of the clean and domestic natural gas that is rapidly becoming, and will remain, our go-to fuel. Witness the debacle over LNG exports, wherein the White House, by “pausing” most new approvals, has catapulted the energy security of key U.S. allies straight into the buzzsaw of its climate ambitions. In fact, it is natural gas that, in the marketplace, will continue, and increasingly so, backup naturally intermittent wind and solar power. Indeed, Iddo Wernick details a reality check for greens when it comes to batteries and their faculty to do the job when it comes to supporting renewables. The fact that batteries are increasingly critical to the energy system of the future is treated as a given. The truth, however, is destined to be something much different.
