“By issuing a ‘death sentence’ for natural gas and its required infrastructure investments, John Kerry is hobbling the industry’s growth. In turn, it will hurt those who have limited or no access to power. It will make the efforts of European countries to get out from under the dominance of Russian fossil fuels, a goal of the Biden administration, even more difficult.”
John Kerry, President Joe Biden’s climate envoy, is the latest government official to deliver conflicting messages about energy.
As the Wall Street Journal pointed out, in January, Kerry told the U.S. Chamber of Commerce that he could fathom keeping natural gas in a cleaner energy mix as a “bridge fuel” from traditional fossil fuels to a renewables-heavy future. He made some other points that have come back to bite him. He told the meeting, “If you can capture 100% [of emissions] and it makes it affordable, that’s wonderful. But we’re not doing that.”
In his mind, carbon capture is the technology the natural gas industry needs to be investing in, which it is, but we guess maybe Kerry does not know, or it is not fast enough for him. Kerry’s message to the Chamber of Commerce members was:
Let me be factual, above all, but let me also be blunt and hopefully motivating. We’re in trouble, I hope everybody understands that. Not trouble we can’t get out of, but we’re not on a good track.
What he really wants is more renewable energy investments. He bemoaned the lack of investment, saying: “Many countries — most countries — have the ability to deploy very significant additional amounts of renewables, and they’re not doing it.”
Do economics or energy security have anything to do with the slow pace of renewable energy?...

Confirmed: Botox should be banned.
Kerry is the poster boy for out of touch elitist.
I’ll bet his home is heated and air conditioned and he flies in private jets. We can freeze and see our life savings erode and wait for the food shortages and famine to arrive. Ain’t socialism great?
it is time for john kerry ( who served in South Vietnam, threw his medal in duisgust over the White House fence, and led the communist organization Vets for Peace), to breathe his lat America hating breath.

What inventory of electric stoves is sitting around waiting for USA homeowners to switch everything out???
How many residences will need more power fed to the homes to replace hot water heaters-—ovens-—dryers?????
