Is 100% in the near term a myth? The goal for 100% renewable energy in the U.S. maybe unrealistic because and are intermittent and are costly. This means that may require backup from the very sources of energy they seek to displace, namely , , and . Not just having lower capacity factors, wind and solar also require huge amounts of materials and land. Setting a national 100% renewable energy goal within a decade would be very costly.

Is the idea that the U.S. economy can thrive on 100% renewable energy a myth? The main focus for “more renewables” is wind and solar . These sources of electricity are intermittent and require backup from the very that they are supposed to replace: coal, gas, and nuclear.

In addition, because of such low capacity factors wind and solar power require massive amounts of land. For example, a study from Harvard found that for the U.S. to get all of its electricity from renewables could require one-third of the country to be covered by wind and solar facilities.

The costs would be very high for American taxpayers. Germany today shows a potential future with the enormous costs and higher prices that result from such tax credits and subsidies for wind and solar . The situation in Denmark is even worse.

Further, converting the world’s largest economy to renewable energy would vastly increase demand for thousands of materials overnight. Many of these supply chains are tightly controlled by China.

As we work to transition to renewable energies, we must have verifiable, in-depth analysis of how to do it.

Biden’s plan aims to reduce . Biden launched a wide-ranging plan to reduce methane emissions, targeting a potent that contributes significantly to and packs a stronger short-term punch than even .

The plan was announced as President Joe Biden wrapped up a two-day appearance at a United Nations climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland. Biden pledged during the summit to work with the European Union and dozens of other nations to reduce overall methane emissions worldwide by 30% by 2030.

The centerpiece of U.S. actions is a long-awaited rule by the Environmental Protection Agency to tighten methane for the and sector, as laid out in one of Biden’s first executive orders.

The proposed rule would for the first time target reductions from existing oil and gas nationwide, rather than focus only on new wells as previous regulations have done. The oil and natural gas industry is the nation’s largest industrial source of methane, a highly potent pollutant that is responsible for about one-third of current warming from human activities.

The American Petroleum Institute , an oil and gas industry lobbying group, has said it supports direct regulation of methane emissions from new and existing sources but opposes efforts in Congress to impose fees on methane leaks, calling them punitive and unnecessary. The industry says leaks of methane, the main component of natural gas, have decreased even as natural gas production has gone up as a result of the ongoing boom. Technological advancements in recent years have make finding and repairing natural gas leaks cheaper and easier.

“EPA has released a sweeping proposal, and we look forward to reviewing it in its entirety,″ said API senior vice president Frank Macchiarola. The group will work with EPA to help shape a final rule “that is effective, feasible and designed to encourage further innovation,″ he said.

in car are leading to recalls, lawsuits, and fear. First came a warning to charge to just 90% and park GM's Bolt outside; then came the first for 60,000 cars worldwide; Then on Aug. 20, a larger recall with a shutdown of work for new cars. More than 140,000 Bolts worldwide and the future production of Chevrolet’s were trapped in limbo.

The problem arose because of fires with the EVs, 14 confirmed by GM, which the company pinpointed to two manufacturing defects — a torn anode and a folded separator in the same battery . The fires appeared to happen mostly while or still plugged in. Or when batteries were nearly full. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has received more than 300 complaints related to the Bolt batteries, but not all of these have been for fires.

Recalls for -ion batteries have happened to other automobile makers as well, including Hyundai, Porsche, and Volvo. The 2019-2020 Hyundai Kona recalls were far smaller — just 4,696 and 6,707 vehicles in each instance, according to NHTSA — while 43,000 Porsche Taycans and 2,200 Volvo Polestar EVs were recalled for total loss of , not fire .

The recall of all Bolts produced to date represents arguably the most visible and significant setback for the in the U.S., not just for the country’s largest automaker, but for the industry’s nascent transition from gas-powered .

John Kerry says US ‘won’t have ’ by 2030. US envoy John Kerry said Tuesday in Scotland that America, which boasts the world’s largest economy, will stop burning coal sometime within the next nine years.

“By 2030 in the United States, we won’t have coal,” Kerry told Bloomberg editor-in-chief John Micklethwait during an interview at the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow. “We will not have coal plants.”

Discussing a shift from coal, Kerry placed emphasis on markets being a driving force behind more cost-effective sources like and . Kerry also reaffirmed his support of the Biden administration’s goal to eliminate all from the US by 2035.

“We’re saying we are going to be carbon-free in the power sector by 2035,” Kerry said. “I think that’s leadership. I think that’s indicative of what we can do.”

Coal makes up roughly 10 percent of US consumption, according to the latest data from the US Energy Information Administration. The data also revealed that – , natural and coal – made up an estimated 79 percent of total US primary energy production last year.

U.S. Households Face Biggest Surge in Electricity Costs Since 2009. U.S. consumers faced the biggest jump in their bills in more than a decade last month, with costs soaring for , and fuel as cooler weather approaches.

The price of electricity in October increased 6.5% from the same month a year ago while consumer expenses paid to utilities for went up 28%, according to numbers released Wednesday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. rose 59%, and costs for , and jumped by about 35%, the data show.

That increase in electricity costs was the most since March 2009 and the jump in utility-piped gas service the biggest since August 2008, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, which uses the labor statistics data for historical comparisons.

October’s increases are another sign of higher bills to come for U.S. households as winter approaches. U.S. prices for natural gas and oil are trading close to multi-year highs amid a global squeeze on supplies and labor shortages at U.S. mines adding to woes. This winter will be the costliest since at least 2014-2015 for households using gas, or electricity, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

“We’re looking at a much more expensive winter this year to heat your home,” said Mark Wolfe, who heads the National Energy Assistance Directors’ Association, the policy organization for state officials who administer federal energy support. “It’s pretty grim.”

A number of big U.S. companies have warned customers about high bills this winter. Duke Energy Corp. is even in talks with its regulators about a proposal to lower the impact by spreading out the gas costs over two years.

The and rally lifts 's quarterly profits to an 8-year-high. Chevron Corporation reported on Friday its biggest quarterly profit since 2013 for the third quarter and its highest free cash flow on record, as oil and gas prices rallied and demand rebounded.

Chevron booked earnings of $6.1 billion for the third quarter of 2021, compared with a loss of $207 million for the same quarter last year.

Adjusted earnings jumped to $5.7 billion, or $2.96 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2021, up from adjusted earnings of $340 million, or $0.18 per share, for Q3 2020.

The adjusted earnings per share of $2.96 this past quarter easily beat market expectations of $2.20 adjusted EPS.

Sales and other operating revenues nearly doubled to $43 billion, compared to $24 billion in the year-ago period, while Chevron’s worldwide net oil-equivalent production rose to 3.03 million barrels per day in the third quarter of 2021, up by 7 percent from a year ago.

In its U.S. operations, Chevron earned $1.96 billion in Q3 2021, compared with $116 million a year earlier, primarily due to higher oil prices and sales volumes. Chevron’s average sales price per barrel of crude oil and liquids was $58 in third quarter 2021, up from $31 a year earlier. The average sales price of natural gas was $3.25 per thousand cubic feet in third quarter 2021, up from $0.89 in last year’s third quarter.

“Third quarter earnings were the highest since first quarter 2013 largely due to improved market conditions, strong operational performance and a lower cost structure,” Chevron’s chairman and chief executive officer Mike Wirth said in a statement.

“Our free cash flow during the quarter was the best ever reported by the company,” Wirth added. “We paid dividends of $2.6 billion, reduced debt by $5.6 billion, and repurchased $625 million of shares during the quarter.”

West Texas oil will likely trade above $80 per barrel through the end of the year. Increased global demand paired with ’s decision to keep supply at current levels means is likely to stabilize at $80-plus a barrel for next six months.

Houston’s oil and industry can expect high oil prices through at least the new year as global demand continues to pick up, analysts say.

Additionally, the international oil cartel OPEC+ has indicated it will not increase production over the next few months, keeping supply steady and, in turn, helping to stabilize prices.
“(OPEC+) are being very careful about this,” said University of Houston Energy Fellow Ed Hirs. “As a result, producers are benefiting from higher prices, at least temporarily…but it’s really being driven by OPEC+. They want to see higher oil prices for the time being.”

Last week, prices hit a 7-year high with West Texas Intermediate ( ) at $84.65, and throughout the week WTI has traded above $80 per barrel.

As the , , and ( ) movement continues to grow, it is crucial to shed light on and examine concerns about several important aspects of ESG measurement and data. In short, this expanding community needs to develop a more rigorous and systematic reporting of ESG information. The current analysis focuses on a number of different aspects inherently involved in ESG, such as data inconsistency, data verification, and the need for “benchmarking.” Companies should take control of the ESG data narrative by proactively shaping disclosure. Companies should ‘customize’ their metrics to some extent, while at the same time seeking to self‐regulate by reaching agreement with industry peers on a ‘reasonable baseline’ of standardized ESG metrics designed to achieve comparability.

The sheer variety, and inconsistency, of the data and measures, and of how companies report them. Such inconsistencies lead to significantly different results when looking at the same group of companies.

Benchmarking can be crucial in determining the performance ranking of a company. The lack of transparency among data providers about peer group components and observed ranges for ESG metrics creates market‐wide inconsistencies and undermines their reliability.

The differences in the imputation methods used by ESG researchers and analysts to deal with vast ‘data gaps’ that span ranges of companies and time periods for different ESG metrics can cause large ‘disagreements’ among the providers, with different gap‐filling approaches leading to big discrepancies.

The disagreements among ESG data providers are not only large, but actually increase with the quantity of publicly available information.
Companies that provide more ESG disclosure tend to have more variation in their ESG ratings.
