I thought I would be able to refrain for a bit longer but the Donald gave his first energy speech yesterday. It couldn’t have been worse and it went exactly as expected. The GOP nominee rattled off the biggest hits: more oil drilling on Federal lands, approval of Keystone XL, and ending the ‘stupid’ climate rule. He did mention solar and wind but that it would be supported at the expense of other sources. Capitalists and libertarians should love what we do, compete against the market and provide benefits to the grid’s consumers.
