This week’s video is a follow up to last week’s written post titled “What Does Energy Pragmatism Mean for Climate & Sustainability” (here). We wanted to expand on some of the points in our own voice and also address various questions and pushback we have received.
Our key messages this week: (1) Energy pragmatism means a return to energy’s natural hierarchy of needs, rather than the inverted version that pretended anyone anywhere prioritizes carbon emission reductions over energy availability and reliability; (2) investment flows into non-fossil fuel energy sources are not impacted by western world virtue signaling, as the climate bubble actually peaked way back in 2021; (3) the Other 7 billion people in developing markets hold the key to how energy markets will evolve in coming decades, not us Lucky 1 Billioners.
