After three decades, maybe it is time to admit the obvious: Wind and solar are niche energy sources that will probably never, provide anywhere near the energy we need to sustain, much less grow, our $22 trillion modern industrial economy.

A proposal in the Washington Senate, the Climate Commitment Act, would create a cap-and-trade scheme designed to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions in the state to “net zero” by 2050. It would make everything more expensive.

The government should not prop up any energy source, and should instead allow competitive markets to meet America’s energy needs. However well intentioned, tax subsidies look more like corporate welfare for politically connected industries, and much less effective at spurring a dominant, world-class energy sector.

Illinois Clean Energy Jobs Act would increase energy costs in the state by forcing state utilities to produce 45 percent of their electricity generated from “renewable” sources by 2030 and 100 percent by 2050.

Senators should pose some hard questions to former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm before confirming her to head the U.S. Department of Energy, concerning her plans for future federal support for green energy projects in the light of her poor performance picking green energy winners and losers as Governor.

President Donald Trump replaced Neil Chatterjee, the Republican chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), with James Danly, another Republican commissioner.

Energy is the master resource. Without energy, other resources could not be produced or consumed. Even energy requires energy: usable mineral energies require energy to manufacture and to power the requisite tools and machinery.

Climate alarmist frequently claim the world has undertaken a radical transformation of the global energy system away from fossil fuels toward zero-carbon, renewable energy. This is false.
