GOP Takes Stand on Energy
The consequences of the climate alarmist agenda are already being felt.
Bloomberg reported this week that, “as countries are desperate to lower emissions and reach climate goals, the world also faces a shortage of traditional fossil fuels.”
Before we get to the consequences, and the political fight in Washington over energy policy, a quick reminder from Paradigm’s technology guru Ray Blanco: policy changes, good or bad, often present opportunities to profit.
“The great enemy of the day is carbon dioxide — the supposed driver of climate change. The solution is clean nuclear energy…”
That dynamic is driving massive gains for one recommendation he gave to subscribers of his Technology Profits Confidential research service.
But the coming nuclear boom, while handing profits to smart investors, will not deliver results soon enough to mitigate the risks we face right now.
Back to the Bloomberg report: “Already, many of the world’s [nuclear] facilities are scheduled to run far beyond what’s considered the typical 40-year lifespan. Operators are pushing to keep some reactors running for as long as 80 years — even beyond the average 77-year life expectancy of American people.”
With safety one of the biggest reasons for public concerns regarding nuclear energy, that sounds not great.
So as we watch the years-long process of upping nuclear capacity, a fight is heating up in Washington to push for solutions that can help now.

Your Rundown for Thursday, January 26, 2023...
More Vulnerable
Senate Republicans introduced legislation this week to shore up America’s energy independence in the face of the Biden administration’s controversial moves to drain our Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
Senator John Barraso (R-Wyoming), warned that following Biden’s actions, “America has become more vulnerable to true energy and national security emergencies."
"China is profiting from President Biden’s political abuse of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve," he added in a statement.
The legislation “will ban SPR sales to China and other hostile nations... It will also ban SPR sales to state-owned companies which purchase oil from Russia, Iran, and other nations the U.S. has sanctioned. Adversaries cannot be allowed to benefit from America’s security reserve."
An additional bill introduced on Tuesday would require plans to up oil and gas production on Federal lands before the government can raid the SPR.
The Senate bills are companion legislation to House bills introduced with the same aims.
The Biden administration, meanwhile, has signaled that it would veto such legislation, doubling down on an energy policy that could have dire consequences.
Despite the risks, as we noted above, opportunities will pop up, and we’ll follow up on the story of a coming nuclear energy boom, among other trends, and what it all means for investors.
And if you want to dive deeper into why the Republicans have made this fight a priority, I urge you to watch this special message from Paradigm's own Jim Rickards on what YOU can do to protect yourself...
“If you live in any of these 38 states,” Jim warns, “You need to pay very close attention to this video and take action before February 1st.”
“Please understand that I believe this all started on November 9th... when Americans were busy heading to vote. What you’re about to see is going to get worse tomorrow... and even worse the day after that… You need to click here right now and pay very close attention to this video and learn how to opt-out of the dems newest scam before February 1st.
