The Energy Poverty Project: ‘Social Justice’ in Action

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- June 16, 2022

“The Energy Poverty Project (EPP) is an international organization that advocates for minimizing burdensome regulations, promoting human health, combating energy poverty, and improving the quality of life for all people regardless of their race or community.”

Derrick Hollie, head of Reaching America and host of Reaching America on Demand, is a man to watch. And his Energy Poverty Project has the capability and promise to change the debate, reorienting ESG and getting corporate America to think in terms of consumers and taxpayers first.

Hollie has been profiled before at MasterResource. His credentials and motivations are impeccable. He says what he means and means what he says. He is a voice for the future and for the majority of his fellow citizens.

The three major planks of Hollie’s new Energy Poverty Project read:

“Libertarian Seeks Burial of ‘Dead Hand’ DOE” (Natural Gas Week, February 6, 1995)

“Today, the libertarian Cato Institute releases its “Policy Handbook for the 104th Congress,” a 39-essay proposal to dismantle the federal government….

How the energy debate has shifted in the last quarter-century–with the middle moving Left and the free market, classical liberal Right falling off the table. Today, the Green Party has been neutered by the Progressive (or Regressive, as Alex Epstein puts it) Left dictating the debate.

I was reminded of this upon encountering an old ‘Perspectives’ column from John H. Jennrich, the founder and editor of Natural Gas Week.…

Offshore Obstructionism: Letter to Biden (July 1, 2022, deadline nears)

By Robert Bradley Jr. -- June 10, 2022

“The world needs energy from many sources, including oil and natural gas…. The Gulf of Mexico currently represents over 15 percent of U.S. oil and natural gas production that is also some of the lowest-carbon intensive production in the world with a small environmental footprint.”

“For new offshore lease sales to be held, a new 5-year Offshore Leasing Program must be finalized to replace the current program which is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2022….”

The Biden Administration is at war with itself. Its anti-fossil-fuel policy is in shambles, with a dire verdict just ahead in November. The Biden puppeteers talked a big game of more drilling and production now, but behind the scenes it is all obstructionism all of the time.

The latest ruse is the Biden Administration’s sinister plan to violate its duty and protocol to release a new five-year plan for oil and gas development of the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS), due July 1, 2022.…
