Energy Realism last week focused on realistic energy policy to better diversify the mix. The reality is that the voters want that. The Biden administration became way too obsessed with only wind, only solar and it blew the Democrats up in November. Daniel Turner got us started last week: perhaps, just perhaps, even greens are waking up to how invaluable nuclear power should be for us. Meeting rising energy needs with affordable, reliable, and abundant supply is essential, and nuclear must be an integral part of that. And that said, Neil Auerbach wants us to ignore the progressive climate agenda but not certain tax incentives that have proven to deliver valuable benefits. These investments reindustrialize America, bringing manufacturing and trade jobs back to rural districts. As Congress works to rein in federal spending, it is crucial to distinguish between wasteful expenditures and high-impact investments. And the IRA’s clean energy tax incentives are the latter. Indeed, there are many options to meet our energy and climate goals, not just the wind and solar that the previous administration saw as the panacea. Frank Wolak makes the case for hydrogen. During his keynote address at CERAWeek, Secretary of Energy Chris Wright spoke to the necessity of common-sense energy policy that prioritizes economic growth, energy security, and affordability for consumers. What may be less obvious to our policy leaders is how much hydrogen stands out as a solution that can – and should – play a critical role in advancing the second Trump Administration’s energy agenda.
