President Biden’s Energy Balancing Act
On Sunday, October 31, U.S. President Joe Biden took to the stage in Rome to tell a timely story:
- He asserted that it’s not inconsistent to ask oil‑powerhouses to crank up production while still cheering on a transition to cleaner energy.
- Biden came after days of deft negotiations among the G‑20’s top leaders, just before the COP26 summit in Glasgow.
- He voiced a disappointment at the sluggish progress toward climate targets.
- He urged oil‑rich nations with extra capacity to increase output, nudging OPEC and its cousins to boost their supply for a steadier global economy.
“No one saw this year—and not even next—that we’d ever run out of oil or gas,” Biden explained.
Essential Gas for an Electric Future?
In a twist of truth, Biden admitted the U.S. still needs gasoline even as it aims to have half of all cars on the road powered by batteries by 2030.
“Jumping straight to renewables and abandoning oil, gas, or even hydrogen forever is just not realistic,” he said.
