Biden's Energy Plan - Dec 16
Posted: Wed Dec 16, 2020 10:13 am
In 2019 fossil fuels provided 80.5% of the world's energy. The mix was: natural gas 22.3%, coal 25.9%, oil 32.3%, nuclear 4.5% and renewables 15%.
Even under an aggressive Green New Deal play, by 2030 the projections are: natural gas 21.4%, coal 22.3%, oil 30.4%, nuclear 4.5% and renewables 21.4%. Fossil fuels will continue to dominate with about 70%. Because energy demand will increase over the next ten years, demand for oil and gas will actually be higher than it is today.
While the U.S. and Europe spend $Trillion on "clean energy" projects, China is building many more coal fired power plants.

The National Audubon Society and other groups said the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska must act quickly to block the Interior Department's "headlong rush" to issue oil and gas leases and authorize seismic testing in the 1.5-million-acre section of the refuge, known as ANWR.
