Biden & Democrats emission reduction schemes misguided, unrealistic, costly & globally irrelevant

    Biden Team Races to Assemble New Climate-Change Strategy  

      

The administration is enlisting agencies across the government as it aims to unveil in April a revised target for U.S. emissions reductions

                                


          World leaders welcomed President Biden’s move to rejoin the Paris climate accord. As the president reverses many of his predecessor’s climate policies, here’s what it means for the global race to meet ambitious emissions targets.


   The GHG emissions reduction changes in the Power sector derived from fuel substitution changes using natural gas and renewables in place of coal fuel with natural gas providing about 70% of the increased generation production outcomes shown in Figure 5 below from the Rhodium study.

Biden and his Democrats have been incredibly foolish and incompetent to stifle the continued and growing use of abundantly available natural gas in the U.S.              

 

The huge reduced economic activity during the pandemic period most significantly impacted the Transportation, Industry and Buildings economic sectors and accounted for about 70% of the total GHG emissions reductions during the year 2020 pandemic period as shown in Figure 4 below from the Rhodium study.

  

 

The emissions reductions in the Transportation, Industry and Buildings sectors are not reflective of structural changes in the economy and will see increased emissions in the future as normal economic activity is resumed unless the economically damaging “lockdown” tactics of Biden and his Democrats are continued as part of their new national energy and climate policy plans. The dramatic economic impacts of the pandemic “lockdown” in the Transportation sector which represented about 50% of the GHG emission reductions in year 2020 are shown in Figures 2 and 3 below from the Rhodium study.
