Washington has spent nearly $2 trillion on “clean” energy incentives and is still pushing for a “Green New Deal”—all due to the prevailing concern about climate change. But what if they’re wrong? Today, I’m sitting down with the Department of Energy’s former Under Secretary of Science, Steve Koonin, to talk about the real facts behind modern climate science.

Topics Discussed:

• An Introduction to Steven Koonin (00:00:00)
• Why Climate Change is a Hot-Button Issue (00:02:09)
• Rising Sea Levels and Melting Ice Caps (00:08:19)
• Hurricanes, Tornadoes and other Disasters (13:45)
• What’s Causing Climate Change (00:19:53)
• Climate Science’s Effect on Society(00:26:40)
• Changing Weather Challenges Global Warming (00:33:36)
• The Death of Fossil Fuels Has Been Greatly Exaggerated (00:38:41)

Guest Bio:

Steven Koonin is a theoretical physicist and former Under Secretary for Science at the Department of Energy. He’s also a former director at the Center for Urban Science and Progress, a professor at NYU’s Tandon School of Engineering, and author of Unsettled: What Climate Science Tells Us, What It Doesn't, and Why It Matters.

Oil and Gas pipelines have become a hot topic in today’s energy debates. New projects like the Keystone pipeline could help rein in rising oil and gas prices. But they’re meeting unprecedented resistance from politicians, environmentalists — and even bankers. Today I’m joined by Diana Furchtgott-Roth, who’s going to shed some light on the difference between green energy “pipe dreams” and real-world pipeline facts. 

Topics Discussed: 

• An Introduction to Diana Furchtgott-Roth (00:00:48) 
• Transporting oil: Truck, Train, Tanker or Pipeline? (00:04:35) 
• The Economic Reality of Climate Change (00:11:30) 
• Giving Away America’s Energy Independence (00:23:10) 
• The Government’s Green Energy Blunder (00:31:40) 

Guest Bio: 

Diana Furchtgott-Roth is an economist and adjunct professor of economics at George Washington University. She served as the chief economist of the United States Department of Labor, and she was nominated by President Donald Trump to serve as Assistant Secretary of Transportation for Research and Technology. She’s also a columnist for Forbes.com and author of Disinherited: How Washington Is Betraying America's Young.

Biden’s Green Energy mandates have won over millions of Americans … but not Mark Mills. 

Mark’s a physicist who was named “Energy Writer of the Year” by the American Energy Society.  

He recently authored The Cloud Revolution: How the Convergence of New Technologies Will Unleash the Next Economic Boom and A Roaring 2020s. And he runs a podcast called The Last Optimist, which features discussions with leading thinkers and innovators. 

I sat down with Mark to talk about the real-world science behind transitioning an entire national economy to new forms of fuel — and why even President Biden doesn’t seem to believe his mandates are realistic. 

Topics Discussed: 

• An Introduction to Mark Mills (00:00:31) 
• Biden’s State of the Union Slip-Up (00:01:42) 
• Energy Mandates aren’t Based in Science (00:10:42) 
• The Myth of Zero-Emission Electric Vehicles (00:17:40) 
• Massive Energy Needs for EV Mining (00:23:50) 
• China’s Toll on the Road to Renewable Resources (00:34:25) 
• Cobalt Red and the Real-World Cost of EVs (00:40:15) 
• The Rising Cost of EV Minerals (00:47:09) 
• The Real Net Savings of Switching to EVs (00:53:27) 
• Simple Math Points to Rising Oil Prices (1:00:00) 

Guest Bio: 

Mark Mills is a physicist, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, and a faculty fellow at Northwestern University’s McCormick School of Engineering and Applied Science. He was named “Energy Writer of the Year” by the American Energy Society.  

He has written several award-winning books, including his latest The Cloud Revolution: How the Convergence of New Technologies Will Unleash the Next Economic Boom and A Roaring 2020s.  

The Biden administration plans to eliminate fossil fuels as a form of energy generation in the U.S. by 2035. Not so, says Mark.
