Trump’s energy policies are far more practical and less costly than Biden’s. Relying on natural gas as a competitive, lower-emitting fuel source while we seek even lower or non-emitting sources at a competitive price is a good fit for the U.S. Unlike the Biden Troika, the supply line is all domestic.

Where the Trump policy may fall short is on the global stage. If natural gas is our transition fuel, it makes even more sense to promote it worldwide. In my last post, I drew attention to the coal boom in Asia. As we know, emissions will never fall worldwide until we rein in coal use. We’re doing it here with Natural Gas. With sensible policies, the same is possible globally.

Delivering lots of stable energy is crucial for providing better lives enjoyed by more advanced nations. Look around your abode and count everything you plug in without a thought that makes your life better. For three-quarters of a billion people, this is just a dream.

While Asia has made great strides in providing electricity, albeit using a lot of coal, Sub-Sahara Africa has the most people without power and the fastest-growing population:

The area isn’t bereft of natural gas—just the opposite. There is plenty of gas to exploit, but the problem is attracting the capital and expertise to exploit the deposits—financial institutions in the developed world, like Biden, favor windmills and solar panels.

This mindset has resulted in bizarre projects like Rift Valley windmills. The magnificent area in East Africa is a major migratory route for birds and animals, and we all know windmills and birds don’t mix. They detract from an area’s beauty. Would we stand for windmills at the Grand Canyon? Yet this project gets financing.
