class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThese five terms: climate crisis, energy transition, carbon pollution, clean energy, and dirty energy are not only deceptive, but they are also in fact destructive deceptions. Destructive because they drive centrist politicians and regulators to oppose life-critical infrastructure like building pipelines and natural gas export terminals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c\u2026&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;any negative impacts from climate change were clearly overwhelmed by the benefits of increasing energy consumption.<\/strong>\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have seen no increase in the frequency or intensity of hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, or floods, despite endless fear-mongering of the media, politicians and activists. This is not my opinion. This is the facts, as contained in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEnergy transition is another term that has been used to justify policies that deploy large government subsidies and mandates to enrich well-off and connected, while impoverishing everyone else. Yes, I am one of those needlessly enriched by these destructive policies, as increasing barriers to oil and gas production have predictably driven up prices and delivered record profitability in the oil and gas industry.&nbsp;\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201chaven\u2019t these trillions of dollars of subsidies over 20 or 30 years driven at least the start of a real energy transition? In short, no.
