Title: Coal is Making a Comeback
Topic: Climate Change Bologna
Discussed by Charlotte Whelan
with Independent Women’s Forum (www.IWF.org)

Charlotte Whelan is a Policy Analyst at the Independent Women’s Forum, focusing on energy and climate policy.

She recently wrote: “Ever since the world began slowly reopening from pandemic lockdowns, climate activists have been calling for a 'green' rebuilding of our economies. They would like to dramatically change the way we live in order to reduce carbon emissions. But ironically, these very policies have placed us in the situation we’re now in: turning to coal to solve our energy problems.”

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Are climate activists plotting to re-build our economy under their terms, which means less energy consumption for all?

Do we know if they’re proposed plans will even work?

Are any countries experiencing an energy crisis? Charlotte reveals that the latest information predicts that the US will experience a considerable coal-consumption increase for the first time since 2014.

Why did Biden publicly begg OPEC to release more oil?

As Texans discovered this past winter, wind and solar just are not reliable. Has the European Union relied too much on wind and solar? Have they been in an energy crisis for years? Charlotte discusses Germany’s severe energy problems and how France is starting to turn around…

Are renewable energy sources, mainly wind and solar, able to pull us and the world out of this energy crisis?
