all the above strategy

scam ploy rhet; let the invisible hand pick the winners

...We’re still seeing Democrats — including President Biden and Vice President Harris — using “all of the above” energy framing, saying we can both continue producing fossil fuels while supporting a renewable energy transition, even while international scientific bodies say we have to stop using fossil fuels to avoid the most catastrophic climate impacts. Do you think the industry’s role at universities helped inform that narrative and make it a politically popular one?

Yeah, absolutely. The “all of the above” [framing] was an explicit strategy of BP — they developed that narrative years before politicians like Obama picked it up. They ran ads with pictures of natural gas next to renewables, conflating them. The fact that a few years later you had the oil industry also funding the MIT Energy Initiative’s “The Future of Natural Gas” report that was framing natural gas as “a bridge to a low carbon future” — all these different talking points were paired together in the Obama administration’s rhetoric on climate and energy.

I think you see the fingerprints of industry-funded research all over these common tropes and that’s exactly the kind of thing I was talking about in terms of potentially being able to trace ties from early funded research to ultimate policy implications. All the industry-funded research over the last few decades that normalized [carbon capture and storage] and “negative emissions” technologies that helped legitimize delayed action and over-reliance on these false solutions.

Partnership for a Better Energy Future, testimony to House Appropriations Committee, March 18, 2015

Chairman Calvert, Ranking Member McCollum, and members of the subcommittee: thank you

for the opportunity to testify today about the Environmental Protection Agency’s fiscal year

2016 budget request, and the proposed “Clean Power Plan” in particular. My name is Dan

Byers. I am senior director for policy at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Institute for 21st

Century Energy. I’m appearing before you today on behalf of the Partnership for a Better

Energy Future (the Partnership), a coalition of business organizations representing over 80

percent of the U.S. economy.

Established in January 2014, the Partnership’s fundamental mission is to promote an “all-of-the-above”

energy strategy that ensures the continued availability of reliable and affordable

energy for American families and businesses.As of March 2015, the Partnership totals 177

members, which include national organizations as well as state and local associations in 36

different states. All are united by widespread concerns that the proposed rule—as well as

EPA’s broader GHG regulatory agenda—presents a significant threat to American jobs and the

economy.
