GREEN NEW DEAL = BLIZZARD OF LIES

If that were true, Jay, there would not be any need for a general monetary restriction to tame inflation.

The Fed has employed a standard monetary restriction to restrain demand pressures in the economy as a whole, not just in certain markets. The policy itself tells us everything we need to know.

Has Powell indicated an easing of monetary policy? No. The reason being that inflation is still regarded as a problem and the monetary restriction needs to continue to deal with that.

That is a clear monetarist approach to inflation.

There is no evidence that a monetary restriction of the magnitude we have was needed this time. In fact the higher rates made it more difficult to solve supply chain issues. Inflation does not just occur from monetary policy. The Fed needs to cut the prime rate in half.

Here is another Fed report:

"The current debate on whether the Federal Reserve can engineer a soft landing needs to disentangle the drivers of U.S. inflation. Our work shows that inflation in the U.S. would have been 6 percent instead of 9 percent at the end of 2021 without supply bottlenecks." https://libertystreeteconomics.newyorkfed.org/2022/08/how-much-did-supply-constraints-boost-u-s-inflation/

Here is another  Fed report that finds monetary policy was only 22% of the inflation spike:

Summarizing what we found: of the 2:7% ináation overshoot from March 2021 through November 2021, the largest contributor is shocks to the motor vehicle sector, at 31%. According to the model, monetary policy shocks explain 22% of the inflation overshoot. https://www.richmondfed.org/-/media/RichmondFedOrg/publications/research/working_papers/2022/wp22-07.pdf

I have presented three different Fed reports that find supply shortages to be a huge part of the inflation spike. They concluded 40%, 60% and 78% were due to supply shortages you economic failure.

You need to accept the basic economics of a decrease in supply causes an increase in prices. Just like it is taught in Econ 1. It does not seem you took or passed Econ 1

You also continue to ignore the fact that 0% and negative interest rates did not work to create any inflation in the 2010s. That is a pure failure of your monetary theory. It has to work both ways.

Rob, even the head of COP28 admits that there is no science to support the view of climate mitigation through CO2 reduction, that is a chimerical dream.

Fossil fuels continue to supply about 84% of world energy needs.

In your fantasy.  Here is recap from him.

https://www.cop28.com/en/news/2023/12/COP28-President-recaps-key-wins-from-first-four-days-of-COP28

"Allow me to use this opportunity to bring everyone up to speed on what has been achieved thus far, and in particular in the past three and a half days of COP28. And before I begin, let's remember why we're all here.

We're all here because we made a very clear call to action, and we've been very upfront about it. And we said clearly and repeatedly that the UAE takes this task with humility, responsibility, and we fully understand the urgency behind this matter. And we're here because we very much believe and respect the science.

43% of global emissions must be reduced by 2030. That is 22 gigatons by 2030 and we need to make that happen to keep 1.5 within reach. And I have been crystal clear on the fact that that is a critical success factor if we want to keep 1.5 within reach. Let me say from the outset that everything this presidency has been working on, and continues to work on, is focused on and centered around the science."

Jay, the Fed is using a monetarist approach to dealing with inflation, those reports you quote are not worth hogwash. Powell is dealing with this inflation problem as a good monetarist, regardless of those "reports".

If supply constraints were binding in the auto sector, you would not see EVs piling up on sales lots. No supply constraints there.

Powell is not buying your approach.

We will see what happens to demand in the economy. It looks like sliding into recession now, so that means EVs are going to continue to pile up on lots.

However, fossil fuel vehicle sales are doing well.

No, he was right the first time. Too late for damage control. 

Here is what he said recently, read carefully,Rob.

https://www.climatechangenews.com/2023/12/04/cop28-bulletin-al-jaber-goes-off-script-denies-science/

"In a live event with former UN special envoy Mary Robinson in November, Al Jaber momentarily forgot his PR-approved lines and reverted to industry talking points.

“There is no science out there, or no scenario out there, that says that the phase-out of fossil fuel is what’s going to achieve 1.5C,” he said.

He dismissed Robinson’s call for a phase-out as “alarmist” and said it would “take the world back into caves”."

 

[Rob Plant + 2,756]

Yes and he's retracted that statement and replaced it with this

“We fully understand the urgency behind the matter, we very much believe and respect the science,” he said while speaking to reporters on Monday, during the fourth day of the summit in Dubai.

Any recession will be caused by the ridiculous interest rate.

Fossil fuel sales in the US are mediocre.

U.S. vehicle sales fell modestly in November

• U.S. vehicle sales fell 0.8% month-on-month (m/m) to 15.3 million (annualized) units in November – coming in below consensus expectations for 15.5 million units.

Ford's November US vehicle sales slip, EV sales rise

Dec 4 (Reuters) - Ford Motor (F.N) posted a 0.5% drop in U.S. new vehicle sales for November on Monday, as the automaker worked to restart some of its key plants following a lengthy workers' strike that impacted vehicle production.

However, sales of Ford's electric vehicles such as its F-150 Lightning pickup truck and Mustang Mach-E, jumped 43.2% to 8,958 units from a year earlier.

Those reports represent cutting edge economics. The Fed has set the rate too high because of their simpleton and antiquated monetarist ideology. Most of the inflation was due to supply shortages. Those shortages did not end until a year ago. There is an inflation lag from that point. Inflation is coming down right on schedule:

If you were an economist you would know that there is no recession and that the only problem is the Fed's mistaken monetary reaction to supply shock inflation. Just more of your fibs.

The numbers show a decrease in fossil fuel car sales and an increase in EV sales. 

Ford U.S. EV Sales Hit New Record In November 2023

The Ford F-150 Lightning sales exceeded 4,000 in a single month for the very first time.

n November, the total sales of Ford and Lincoln vehicles in the United States amounted to 145,559 (down 0.5% year-over-year), while the year-to-date result remains positive at over 1.8 million (up 7% year-over-year).

 

Meanwhile, sales of Ford battery-electric vehicles (BEV) increased quite noticeably—by 43% year-over-year to a new all-time record of 8,958 units. This also translated into a record-high 6.4% BEV share out of Ford's total volume

Of course you will claim that you provided proof but that was 6 months ago, it is no longer relevant.

What we do know is that Ford total sales were down but their EV sales just set a big new record high.
