If you work in Canada's energy sector, you're likely familiar with Alberta's "War Room" -- formally known as the Canadian Energy Centre (CEC) -- and its efforts to fight "misinformation" against oil and gas. Now, in a surprise twist, the CEC is being shut down! I have the scoop below in my latest piece for pvbuzz|media 👇👇👇 #Albertapolitics #EnergyWarRoom #Climate #fossilfuels #misinformation #taxpayers #energypolitics #CanadianEnergyCentre

President Joe Biden’s energy policies have faced criticism and scrutiny from both sides of the political spectrum. On one hand, environmentalists have criticized his administration for not doing enough to combat climate change and transition to renewable energy sources. On the other hand, conservatives have accused him of restricting domestic energy production and harming the economy. Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline and impose a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal lands have been particularly controversial. These actions have been seen as detrimental to the oil and gas industry, which plays a significant role in the American economy. Additionally, Biden’s push for clean energy initiatives, such as investing in electric vehicles and renewable energy sources, has faced pushback from those who argue that the transition away from fossil fuels will lead to job losses and economic instability. Overall, Biden’s energy policies have created a sense of unease and uncertainty within the energy industry and among American consumers. It remains to be seen how his administration will navigate these challenges and strike a balance between environmental concerns and economic interests.

The idea of U.S. energy independence remains a hot topic, even making an appearance at the recent presidential debate. Everyone seems to have an opinion on it, even though many people have trouble defining what it means. https://lnkd.in/gBj2ZD2c #energy #independence #definition #meaning #measurement #political #rhetoric

Bramble Energy Limited's CEO Tom Mason shares his views with Open Access Government on how a Trump and Starmer government might impact the US and UK’s energy sovereignty and ambitious net-zero targets.

ENERGY POLICY. DOES THE UK GOVERNMENT HAVE A CLOSED MIND TO A LOGICAL ARGUMENT? HOW WILL THAT END UP? How will our current energy policies play out at the next election? How are we in a position where the UK Government are doubling down on 'promises' which will deliberately cripple the UK Oil & Gas industry? The strategy will cost hundreds of thousands of UK jobs and still require us to import Oil & Gas? It's not Win-Win. Why does our Department for Energy Security and Net Zero appear driven to target a 'Clean Energy' system by 2030, when it is abundantly clear that the department has no plan that substantiates and assures delivery by 2030? And that the target is unachievable. The National Grid "Beyond 2030" proposal (with a detailed plan due in 2026) suggested 2035 was a stretch but achievable target. Why not 2035? Recent speeches by ministers at Conferences and other opportunities have only yielded reiterated policy statements from the election Manifesto. Tragic 'locked in' cognitive failure. By inspection of the facts, it appears that believers genuinely cannot see beyond their own propaganda, or to be kinder, their rhetoric which was used to win an Election. The election is over! It is understandable that the now 'in power' Government would be keen to honour their election promises. But I would suggest that for the good of our country, the Government should reconsider and have the honesty, bravery and common decency to amend their views. IT'S A BRAVE MOVE FOR A POLITICIAN. BUT IN THE LONG RUN, IT WOULD BE A STRATEGY THAT COULD WIN THE NEXT ELECTION. CRIPPLING THE COUNTRY - WHICH WILL BE APPARENT BY THE NEXT ELECTION - MIGHT MEAN THE END OF THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT'S PARTY EXISTENCE.... More importantly, our Nation will yet again suffer at the hands of misguided and wish list political dogma... For the avoidance of doubt, I am not a 'party political' type. I just want the best for my country. I strongly support the Managed Transition away from reliance on Oil & Gas. A transition that allows the time for our Industry to adapt. I also support targeting a Clean Energy power system, on an achievable time line! Keir Starmer. I know you have many issues to consider. I wonder if these thoughts come onto your radar.

Former Secretary of Energy, Ernest Moniz, remains true to the realities of physics. As a society, we must value three things at the same time: 1. Clean Energy 2. Affordable Energy 3. Reliable Energy They are not mutually exclusive, despite what you’ve been told. “Natural gas plays a critical role in balancing the three dimensions of the “energy trilemma”: energy security (the ability to meet energy demands), energy equity (the ability to provide affordable energy for domestic and commercial use), and environmental sustainability (the ability to address climate change and other energy pollution issues). Natural gas is relatively low-cost, abundant, and versatile; it can help manage the intermittency of renewable power and plays an essential role in meeting energy demands,” the report says. Most do not realize that Poverty ranks as the #1 issue in the world, according to the dozens of millions of voters at the United Nations, while Climate Change ranks #13 (out of 17 total issues). As Dr. Scott Tinker teaches, energy doesn’t end poverty, but you can’t end poverty without energy. Meanwhile, representing the extremists in this country who minimize the value of people in favor of nature, Michael Mann continues to resort to the lowest levels of Graham’s Heirarchy of Debate - instead of dealing with realities - he responded to this announcement with Ad Hominem attacks. “My concern is that Moniz is—and perhaps has been since his time in the administration—an advocate for polluters over people and the planet,” he said. I am confident that the United States voter sees people like Michael Mann for what he is - a zealot - and is able to appreciate common sense and basic physics when they see it too. I’m thankful for the nuclear MIT physicist, and former Obama Secretary of Energy, Ernest Moniz.

A lot happened in Louisiana's Legislative Session, even just in the energy sector! So we put it all in one place. This blog summarizes the big and small of the bills we encountered in the energy sector this year.

The debate on U.S. energy independence centers on producing more energy than is consumed domestically. Progress in this area has been evident since 2019, with surpluses increasing under both the Trump and Biden administrations.
