Chuck DeVore: As UN powerlessly pontificates on climate, China laughs and doubles down on coal

China will continue to say one thing to the West when it comes to its environmental promises and then will proceed to do exactly the opposite

In November 2019, after a long struggle with environmentalists to keep it open, the Navajo Generating Station was shuttered. Located in Northern Arizona near the sprawling Navajo Nation reservation, the coal-fired power plant was the largest of its kind west of the Mississippi and the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases in America. The plant and the mine that kept it running employed about 1,000 members of the Navajo Nation as it generated up to 2.25 gigawatts of reliable power for Arizona and the Western electric grid.

With this massive plant offline, surely the world’s carbon dioxide emissions would decline, right? But less than three weeks later, China had brought enough coal-fired power plants online to erase the supposed gains to the world’s climate. In fact, China built the equivalent of 20 Navajo Generating Stations in 2019 alone and is on track to build 93 more in the next few years.

The American coal industry is rejuvenated, going gangbusters into the upcoming years.

With the new technological breakthroughs in coal ash refinement, things look good for the long term prospects.

https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/US-Coal-Industry-Says-Almost-Sold-Out-For-2022.html

"U.S. coal miners are enjoying the surge in demand for the fossil fuel, with almost all of their production through the end of next year—and some into 2023 even—already sold, according to a Bloomberg report. Prices are higher, too. According to the report, Arch Resources, the second-largest coal miner in the United States, has sold its 2022 output at prices 20 percent above current spot market rates. This suggests that this year’s surge in coal demand may not be just a short-lived hiccup in the energy transition. Share prices of coal miners are also rising amid the demand surge. Peabody Energy Corp., America’s largest coal miner, saw its stock gain 17 percent within a day earlier this month."

High prices for oil, natural gas, and coal will not be transitory, but will persist as long as Green governments insist on pursuing the goals of climate alarmism and relying on defective climate models.

Fossil fuels remain the basis of energy supplies for all economies, and attempting to overturn that dependency can only create economic disaster.

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Chronic-Underinvestment-Could-Send-Energy-Prices-Higher-For-Longer.html

"“Today, investment in fossil fuel is vilified and financing has become sparse as big western banks withdraw,” Sen wrote, adding that we have not yet seen the full effect of that slowdown in oil and gas investments prompted by the rise of the ESG trend. This means that oil, gas, and coal prices still have higher to go. Because demand is sticking around.

Fossil fuels currently account for some 84 percent of global energy demand, according to Sen. This is the same figure as it was in 1980. This means that demand for oil and gas—and to a lesser extent, coal—is a stubborn one, and it can only be reduced with radical measures or natural trends such as underinvestment that leads to prohibitively high prices.

Yet planned investments in oil and gas are high enough to prompt the UN Environmental Program to warn they are too high for Paris Agreement comfort. In a recent report, the program warned that oil and gas production plans by the 15 biggest producers are at great odds with the Paris Agreement emission targets. In other words, these 15 biggest producers continue to bet on oil and gas, despite emission ambitions, including their own stated net-zero targets. "

Again, Jay, a very miniscule percentage of vehicle stock. Any attempt to ramp up to a significant percentage of vehicles on the road would send the price of battery inputs surging to the sky and put the price of EVs beyond the reach of the average buyer...sorry to point out the obvious.

The climate summit is degenerating into the usual chaos of conflicting statements. The reliance on fossil fuels is now appearing to stymie any move towards the Green revolution.

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Energy-Prices-And-Climate-Concerns-Clash-At-COP26.html

"If emissions must be slashed so much and so quickly, then the call for more oil and gas now begins to sound even stranger as it goes against the G20 pledge. 

The reason for such a confusing call, of course, is that energy bills begin to weigh heavily on households.

In France, some are struggling to pay their bills even though France gets more than two-thirds of its electricity from its nuclear power plants. In Germany, inflation surged to the highest level in 28 years because energy prices rose by 18.6 percent last month, making everything more expensive. During that month, the German government decided to scrap a renewable power fee that was designed to trigger more wind and solar capacity that would alleviate the utility bill burdens on households.

Unhappy households contain unhappy voters, so the call for more oil and gas production - and accusations towards OPEC+ that the energy price surge is its fault - are understandable,"

The leaders of the Green climate panic have no idea how to manage any transition into alternative energy sources. When a government declares war on the sources of 84% of needed energy supplies, the price of energy will surge into the heavens. It doesn't take a genius to see that, but it somehow escapes the understanding of government leaders.

https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/Bank-Of-America-Sees-120-Oil-By-June-2022.html

"The Brent crude benchmark will hit $120 per barrel by the end of June 2022, Bank of America said in a research note this week, cited by Bloomberg. The catalyst for BofA’s increased price forecast is the current global energy crisis that has seen prices for crude oil, coal, natural gas, and LNG skyrocket as the market tightens. Just a month ago, BofA had forecast that oil could reach $100 over the next six months—and that was if we had a winter that was colder than usual. At the time, this was expected to be the most important driver of the global energy markets. BofA feels even more so now that the global oil demand recovery will continue to outpace supply over the next year and a half, resulting in dwindling inventories that set the stage for higher oil prices. In September, BofA pointed to the grim situation in the European energy markets, which have seen depleting inventories that have triggered vigorous price volatility as a sign of what’s to come."

Oil demand is increasing, partly due to the misguided Green policies of world leaders, whose reductions of coal have increased demand for natural gas and oil.

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/BP-Oil-Demand-Has-Already-Topped-100-Million-Bpd.html

"The oil industry is “massively underinvesting” in supply to meet growing demand, which is set to return to pre-COVID levels as soon as the end of 2021 or early 2022, Greg Hill, president of U.S. oil producer Hess Corp, said at the end of September. OPEC sees 2022 global oil demand averaging 100.8 million bpd next year, while the International Energy Agency (IEA), although with a more conservative estimate of 2022 demand, expects consumption at 99.6 million bpd in 2022, “slightly above pre-Covid levels.”"

Finally, reality is beginning to dawn on the Biden & Co. group, with the leader acknowledging that the war he declared against oil and fossil fuels has created a crisis. That is now translating into voter disapproval, from the same folks who voted this man into the high office job.

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Crude-Oil/Biden-OPEC-And-Russia-Must-Pump-More-Oil-To-Help-Americas-Working-Class.html

"Even if factors influencing gas prices at the pump in the United States may be outside the country, the effects of price movements are already costing Biden approval among voters. According to NPR, his rating is well below 50 percent, with 70 percent of Americans believing the country is not going in the right direction.

Also at the news conference, the U.S. President said he was confident the country could meet his administration's goal of emission cuts, which is 50 percent from 2005 by 2030. Yet, the president acknowledged that the renewable shift cannot happen overnight.

"On the surface, it seems like an irony," Biden said, referring to his call on OPEC+ to add more oil production while heading for COP26 to discuss the reduction of global emissions. "But the truth of the matter is ... everyone knows that idea that we're going to be able to move to renewable energy overnight ... it's just not rational."

Coal is strengthening and looks to become a more central fuel source going forward.

"- One of the main pre-event soundbites of the COP26 summit was the call to ban coal, urged on by the conference’s president Alok Sharma as well as G20 countries, yet coal still has a bright future in Asia. - Asia’s largest coal consumers, China and India, have been resisting any stringent commitments from the summit as they see coal as a key part of their generation capacity. - In Asia alone, there are some 200 coal-fired plants currently under construction, 90% of global greenfield coal capacity, with China topping the list with 95 plants and India coming second with 28 projects. - As of today, of the more than 2,600 coal-powered plants operating globally, 71% are located in Asia.

The first casualties of the Biden & Co. war against fossil fuels will be the American people who rely on fossil fuels to heat their homes this winter. The expected extra cold winter this year will do three things,

1) elevate the heating bills of American families to unprecedented levels.

2) disprove the nonsensical climate models which predict global warming.

3) continue to depress the public support for Biden & Co.'s efforts to attack the 84% of world energy source which derives from fossil fuels.

https://oilprice.com/Energy/Heating-Oil/Average-Heating-Bills-In-The-US-Set-To-Soar-To-746-Per-Household.html

"Right now, natural gas prices are nearly 80% higher than they were a year ago. That’s also partially a result of the second outcome — lower natural gas inventories headed into winter.

The most recent Natural Gas Storage Report showed that natural gas inventories are about 10% lower than a year ago. That, in combination with lower production, has resulted in skyrocketing natural gas prices.

Of course, this isn’t just a U.S. phenomenon. Natural gas prices in Europe have skyrocketed to five times normal, which forced some factories to curtail production. This strengthens Russia’s hand, as it is capable of supplying Europe with additional gas. China has also experienced price surges, which have resulted in power outages in some towns.

The EIA is projecting that this winter, U.S. natural gas will be at the highest average price since the 2005–06 winter average. For the 48% of U.S. homes that are heated with natural gas, the latest Winter Fuels Outlook forecasts that these households “will spend an average of $746 on heating this winter (October–March), which is $172, or 30%, more than last year.”"

"Rystad Energy warned that the carmaking industry's shift to an all-electric future could run into an obstacle in the form of a nickel supply shortage within five years. The Norwegian consultancy has forecast that as soon as 2024, demand for nickel could reach 3.4 million tons, which would be higher than supply. Currently, nickel demand stands at 2.5 million tons. The outlook for lithium's fundamentals is, if anything, even more worrying. Rio Tinto recently forecast that under net-zero commitments, lithium demand would come to substantially exceed supply in the coming years, creating a hard-to-fill gap. The reason it will be hard to fill is that existing lithium projects would only be able to contribute about a million tons of supply annually while demand is seen growing to 3 million tons, from just 300,000 tons today."
