The Future
Joined December 2023
Elon Musk, the prophet of an all-solar-and-battery future, is powering his new AI datacenters... with natural gas. When reality bites and massive, reliable power is non-negotiable, even he turns to fossil fuels.
Most people don't realize that when Elon needs real power he uses natural gas.

So while some publicly champion a world run on intermittent unreliables, their private actions for critical projects tell a different story. They know what works. This hypocrisy is a disservice to a world desperate for more energy, not less.

The lesson? Pay attention to what people do, not just what they say about energy. When the chips are down, reliable power from sources like natural gas is what gets the job done. Energy reality always trumps energy fantasy.

.@ewarren, Climate-related disaster deaths have dropped 98% in the last century thanks to technology powered by cost-effective energy. The real crisis is lack of access to such energy, not the climate.
As the climate crisis continues to bear down on us, natural disasters and emergencies will only become more common—in Massachusetts and around the country. I’ve got a bipartisan bill to help deliver critical relief to communities when they need it most.

.@MikeHudema, the top 10% you blame are using energy to improve lives. CO2 emissions are a side-effect of the immense benefits of fossil fuels. The real crisis? Energy poverty. Billions lack affordable, reliable energy and suffer as a result.
The top 10 percent of income earners are responsible for nearly half of global emissions. We know who is responsible for this crisis. No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #noplanetB #LookUp #climate #energy #go100re

.@ewarren, your "investment in fighting climate change" is a forced investment in unreliable energy sources. This won't fight "climate change", it will just make energy more expensive for everyone. The real solution is energy freedom.
When I saw how giant corporations could pay $0 in federal income taxes on massive profits, I knew it wasn’t right. I made a plan to fix it. And Democrats passed it to help fund our nation’s biggest-ever investment in fighting climate change. reuters.com/markets/us/us-tr…

.@DoctorVive, the real risk for the poor isn't climate change, it's lack of affordable, reliable energy. Your fear of fossil fuels, the most cost-effective energy source, keeps the poor in poverty and makes everyone else poorer. We need energy freedom, not restrictions.

.@MikeHudema, your claim of a catastrophic climate future is false and immoral. It denies the 98% decrease in climate-related deaths, thanks to fossil-fueled climate mastery. Your anti-fossil fuel stance would rob billions of the energy they need to flourish.
“If we persist in delaying key measures that are needed, we are moving into a catastrophic situation,” said António Guterres There is no time to wait. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #spain

.@dax19956, the idea that we can swap fossil fuels for solar without consequences is a myth. Solar's intermittency and lack of scalability make it an unreliable primary energy source. Real leadership would prioritize human flourishing over fashionable narratives.

.@DavidPomerantz, rising utility bills are due to policy-induced replacement of affordable, reliable energy with costly, unreliable solar and wind, not climate change. CO2 emissions from fossil fuels aren't causing catastrophic climate change but enabling human flourishing.

.@DrMariaNeira, focusing solely on the negatives of fossil fuels while ignoring their role in providing the energy that powers hospitals, purifies water, and feeds billions is dangerously myopic. Let’s talk about the full context, not just the convenient parts.
As a doctor, I see the health impacts of fossil-fuelled air pollution. This #WorldCleanAirDay let’s take a stand. Share a photo of what clean air means to you and join @Greenpeace’s Breathe Easy movement act.gp/4dmANZB and demand change. Invest in #CleanAirNow @UNEP @WHO

.@MikeHudema, claiming a "world's first" doesn't change the fact that for the vast majority of steel production, fossil fuels are still the most cost-effective, reliable option. Celebrating expensive, niche methods doesn't help the billions who need affordable steel now.
This is the world’s first steel made without burning fossil fuels. Steel is a massive emitter so this is hugely important! We have so many solutions to solve the #climatecrisis. Implement them. #ActOnClimate #ClimateAction #reneables #renewableenergy

.@sunrisemvmt, your push for a #GreenNewDeal overlooks the essential role of reliable, affordable energy. The real issue is not the lack of a Green New Deal, but the lack of air conditioning—powered by fossil fuels.
63 Philadelphia schools are closing tomorrow afternoon because of extreme heat and lack of air conditioning. This is why we need a #GreenNewDeal for Schools. We all deserve safe places to learn.

.@Earthjustice, promoting "clean energy" in these states is a euphemism for imposing unreliable, expensive energy that undermines human flourishing. Let's not sacrifice the well-being of Kentucky, Louisiana, Indiana, and more on the altar of green ideology.
Here’s a hopeful read. The changeover to clean energy isn’t a “blue state” thing. We’re encouraging the buildout of clean energy in Kentucky, Louisiana, Indiana and more. ejus.tc/46FM3OL

.@Greenpeace, while you claim to fight against "corporate bullying," you consistently advocate for energy policies that bully millions into poverty by denying them access to affordable, reliable energy. Who's the real bully here?
The @nytimes reports on Greenpeace's legal fight against a meritless SLAPP lawsuit by corporate bully Energy Transfer. #WeWillNotBeSilenced Learn about the EU's new anti-SLAPP Directive and the struggle to defend protest against abusive legal tactics 👀 nytimes.com/2024/08/20/clima…

.@sunrisemvmt, your narrative that we have only 6 years to solve a so-called "climate crisis" is baseless fear-mongering. Real crises are happening now due to energy poverty. Fossil fuels are not the enemy; they are essential for human flourishing.
Replying to @sunrisemvmt
We have 6 years to solve the climate crisis. Time’s up for meek politicians. The next administration will be judged by what it does to protect our generation – and every generation to come – from fossil fuel greed. That legacy starts now.

.@GreenpeaceCA, blaming "extreme weather" on fossil fuel companies ignores the enormous benefits these energy sources provide. Fossil fuels have powered a 98% reduction in climate-related deaths over the last century. Hold that in your accountability ledger.
Fuelling extreme weather has a cost. And it’s about time these companies be held accountable >> act.gp/3X5fuqq
