We've been asking the wrong question about energy.
It's not CAR (clean, affordable, reliable) — it's ARC.
Affordability first.
NCEA Deputy Executive Director @portiamills makes the case to @RealClearEnergy's Maggie Miller at the Energy Future Forum.

Nuclear power: ~4,000 watts per square meter.
Wind power: ~1 watt per square meter.
That gap isn't a talking point — it's physics. And it has consequences for land use, transmission costs, and the communities asked to host turbines.
Jonathan Lesser, PhD & Portia Roberts dig into what that number really means in "Some Needed Realism on Wind Power."

Global warming is doing less harm than predicted.
Global greening is doing more good than predicted.
Decarbonisation is costing more than predicted.
Time to admit that we got this one wrong.
We are amputating off our legs to prevent blisters on our toes.
18 years to build a copper mine.
@BlackRock's Mark Hume at #EnergyFutureForum: copper supply can't keep pace with demand from grids, data centers, and EVs — no matter how fast we permit. The bottleneck is structural, not political.
Watch the full session to hear how traditional fuels, project finance, and energy policy collide — and what that means for the real bottlenecks shaping global energy markets.

“AI and data centers are as consequential as the advent of computers.”
That was the takeaway from Executive Director @MarkPMills on @CNN .
As opposition to new projects grows, it’s worth remembering: the digital economy doesn’t run in the cloud—it runs in physical infrastructure.
And like every major technology shift before it, scaling it will require energy, land, and investment.

My book review of Lloyd Blankfein’s new memoir, “Streetwise: Getting to and Through Goldman Sachs,” in today’s Washington Free Beacon.
Nearly a decade after retiring as CEO and Chairman of Goldman Sachs, where he spent his entire 36-year career in finance, the author Blankfein remains a steadfast steward and tireless defender of the firm's culture and reputation by rejecting pretty much any criticism of Goldman—whether before, during, or after the global financial crisis—as the product of competitive envy, political posturing, or media hype. Readers looking for a fresh perspective on the market events of 2008 will come away disappointed.

If we posit ignorance …. The ‘green’ narrative has focused on capacity additions year-on-year which, as you know w all the subsidies and mandates, is at a record level. BUT capacity of wind and esp solar is irrelevant (esp in northern latitudes) and that excites and distracts the transitionists. It is of course the energy-production reality that the chart properly shows.
Bottom line is I agree. Either profound ignorance or deliberately misleading.

What if global energy access wasn't treated as foreign aid — but as investment?
At last year's Energy Future Forum, NCEA advisor Scott W. Tinker, PhD reframed the entire conversation around energy and development.
That's the kind of thinking this forum was built for.
Join us May 1 in Washington, D.C. for conversations that go beyond the headlines.
