A 4 - Minute Read
Q. Lewis, I am concerned about the environment, but I really can’t afford to pay for high gas and heating oil costs. Any suggestions?
A. There is an old saying “Everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die to get there!” That is the problem. There are many effective lifehacks for reducing gas and heating oil purchases. I will present these solutions in another newsletter.
The fact is that recently much attention has been paid to the effect the war in Ukraine has had on energy supplies, especially access to Russian oil and gas. Predictably there have been calls to pump and drill more, though the oil and gas companies have decided on their own not to drill even when they can, to artificially increase prices. These increases are unrelated to things like government regulation etc.
Less attention has been paid to the way the war presents yet more reasons to end our dependence on fossil fuels.
If dire warnings from scientists and the UN that time is running out and increasingly frequent extreme weather events and the melting of the polar ice caps aren’t enough reason to transition to renewables, there is the realization that money from oil and gas helps tyrants like Vladimir Putin stay in power.
“All measures of conservation, as well as all technologies meant to wean us from fossil fuels, are worth pursuing in the same way that doing something is always more than doing nothing.”
― Hope Jahren, The Story of More: How We Got to Climate Change and Where to Go from Here
The Takeaway
Our oil and gas addiction makes us hostage to the whims of autocrats and vulnerable to conflicts happening far away in dangerously volatile parts of the world. It is time to kick the habit. That means using the government (tax money) to support research into renewable energy like wind, solar, geothermal, etc.
If we don’t pay and support it now, our children and grandchildren will be paying for it at a much higher cost.
If you decide that saving the planet is more important than saving cash now please read this research paper on our energy future.
