Energy Plan

Continued from page 11

Build Back Better plan In Texas, the grid’s reserve margin—the amount of capacity it has above expected peak demand—has shrunk so much that the Public Utilities Commission of Texas called the situation “very scary.” -Utility Drive, January 22, 2019

For example, a 2019 story concerning Texas notes, “As wind power slowed, ERCOT instituted its first level of emergency alerts, calling on small industrial and commercial generators to pour power onto the grid, and requesting power from Mexico from which an additional 60 MW were imported on Aug. 15. Installed capacity numbers for electricity from intermittent sources such as wind and solar mean very little when they fail to produce as wind did in the middle of the hot Texas summer.” -Power Magazine, September 19, 2019

In the U.S. northeast, grid operator ISO-NE warned, the grid is likely to be at risk of fuel shortages and rolling blackouts thanks to limited natural gas pipeline capacity. “In the coming years as more oil, coal, and nuclear leave the system, keeping the lights on in New England will become an even more tenuous proposition.” -ISO New England, 2018 Regional Electricity Outlook. In a Democratic primary debate in March 2020 Joe Biden agreed to a radical “no new fracking” policy to attract Democratic voters. While most of the US unconventional oil and gas operations take place on private lands, even a federal policy banning new development would be a substantial hit on domestic energy production. 6.

Joe Biden’s energy plan also calls for a net-zero CO 2 emissions economy wide by no later than 2050. His climate plan also promises aggressive new methane emission limits. Effectively, this amounts to a ban and early retirement of coal, gas, and oil for electricity generation (over 60% of the current total), as there is no cost-effective technology available to capture CO2 from fuel combustion, even though Biden tried to backpedal on the direct attacks against fracking recently. “The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that in 2019, about 2.81 billion barrels (or 7.7 million barrels per day) of crude oil were produced directly from tight oil resources in the United States. This was equal to about 63% of total U.S. crude oil production in 2019.” -U.S. Energy Information Administration“The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates that in 2019, U.S. dry shale gas production was about 25.28 trillion cubic feet (Tcf), and equal to about 75% of total U.S. dry natural gas production in 2019.” -U.S. Energy Information Administration

“More than 95% of U.S. natural gas and oil wells today are developed using hydraulic fracturing.” American Petroleum Institute - AMERICA’S PROGRESS AT RISK: An Economic Analysis of a Ban on Fracking and Federal Leasing for Natural Gas and Oil Development An analysis by the American Petroleum Institute estimates that a ban on hydraulic fracturing and federal leasing would create over $7 trillion in economic damages between 2020 and 2030 and cost over 7 million jobs.

Petroleum Institute - AMERICA’S PROGRESS AT RISK: An Economic Analysis of a Ban on Fracking and Federal Leasing for Natural Gas and Oil Development OPEC and especially Saudi Arabia have had a big impact on the price of internationally traded oil. OPEC Crude Oil Supply China is already the leading emitter of greenhouse gases, at twice the emissions of the US. All reasonable predictions of future emissions anticipate the overwhelming majority of future emissions coming from developing countries that are trying to close the gap in wealth and energy consumption.

All This Chaos

you really are. You will begin to develop an attitude of abundance rather than an attitude of lack. • Treat everyone you come in contact with as important. You do this because this is how we should treat people. We will begin to see the good that is in everyone. We may learn what we have in common with others which is the basis for relationships. Important for any leader, is developing the ability to see people and situations not as they currently are but as they can be. • Surround yourself with people who have positive attitudes.

Avoid negative like constantly hearing the daily news.

Keeping a good attitude can be difficult. Shale Crescent USA was severely impacted by COVID-19. Our main source of leads and prospects are conferences and trade shows. Conferences are also where we do face to face meetings with our current prospects from around the world. We were going to be a presenter at the World Petrochemical Conference in New Orleans in March. It was cancelled as were all live events so far for 2020. We have not had a new lead or prospect since COVID started. Complaining does not change anything. Looking for opportunity does.

It helps to work with a team of leaders at Shale Crescent USA who have great attitudes. We had plenty of time since we were in lockdown and the ability to reach out to the media. Covid-19 is the big topic everyone is concerned about. The virus showed us why manufacturing in the USA is important. We couldn’t get ventilators for Covid-19 patients and PPE for our frontline healthcare workers because they are made primarily in China. Bringing manu

facturing to our Region is what Shale Crescent USA does. It is our area of expertise. We have hard data to show companies why manufacturing in the USA isn’t just the right thing to do, it is the most profitable thing to do in most cases. It also requires American oil and gas.

Radio shows were looking for good guests with a unique take on the Covid-19 topic. Our perspective is, The Pandemic Proved “Made in the USA” a must for the Economy. Our bookings took off. We started getting nationally syndicated and big market shows like New York City, Boston, Miami, Charlotte, St. Louis, Chicago, Denver, San Diego, Los Angeles and Seattle. Also, Regional Shows in Cleveland and Pittsburgh. We learned everyone no matter where they were and what their political affiliation was wants to bring manufacturing and jobs back to the USA. We can tell audiences why that makes sense now and more important how to do it.

Since March, we have been guests on 49 radio shows, 21 of them nationally syndicated on networks like Westwood One. Also Shows like Supply Chain Brain, PCMA (money people), BIZ Talk Radio and Jim Blasingame, the Small Business Advocate. They have audiences that can make decisions to bring jobs here. All of this radio and additional print media gave us the opportunity to tell our Region’s story to the entire country.

Our attitude, according to our prospects, has helped some projects continue to move forward despite the pandemic. Several projects have settled on or are in the process of selecting sites in our Region. Jobs are being created. At the Global Plastics Summit in October we have a virtual lunch presentation giving us the opportunity to reach potential leads and prospects for the first time since Covid-19.

Our personal attitude is contagious. People we lead and even our families will reflect our attitude good or bad. People are drawn to a positive attitude. We choose our attitude. At Shale Crescent USA, we chose to look for opportunity in this chaos and found it. You can choose to develop a positive attitude and take the actions to make it a reality. The late Earl Nightingale said, “Success is when preparedness meets opportunity and opportunity is there all the time.” A positive attitude helps us to see it creating success for others as well as ourselves and ultimately our own happiness.

from him: to respect your coach (leaders), to honor your teammates (fellow Representatives or Senators), to do your best, to try your hardest, to never quit, be humble in victory, and that it is in failing that you learn to succeed, has stuck with me since I last shook his hand in the spring of 1971.

I must believe, that if Coach were here today and could give our 435-member and 100-member Congressional teams a common message, it would be that you can achieve victory for our Nation, “But Desire….Will Be The Difference.”
