We don't even have a national energy policy. Haven't for fifty years.

Of course we'll never have a national energy transition. There's no leadership.

"History will likely record the elimination of government largesse in pursuit of an impossible energy transition as a kind of transition itself."

I somewhat agree.
It marks the elimination of American global leadership on things like alternative energy.
That's not good for the American economy, but Republicans either don't know or don't care, and they won't say which.

Anywah, this is the axe this fossil fuel think tank has to grind. This is from their fancifully named "Energy Delusions" page. They don't like the IEA global forecast for fossil fuels, because it doesn't show growth, it shows a leveling off and eventual decrease:

"It is fanciful to forecast that, over the next half-dozen years, the growth in the world's population and economy won't continue a two-century-long trend and lead to increased use of the fossil fuels that today supply over 80% of all energy, only slightly below the share seen 50 years ago."

You can argue that all you want. It's a valid point that countries aren't hitting their Paris targets. It's also a valid point that there really might not be a whole lot of economic growth globally in the next five or ten years.

"Nuclear is the best "alternative energy" form."

It makes for the best video games.

There's no video game series about what happens after a catastrophic solar power plant failure.
