US consumers are uniquely unaffected so far by spiraling prices for natural gas and coal. Crude oil continues to cause some discomfort at the White House, which regularly pleads with OPEC to offset their own policies by increasing supply. Limited export capacity for Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) is keeping a lid on domestic prices for now, but as more becomes available the huge US discount will narrow, to the benefit of domestic natural producers and the detriment of customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be wrong to blame this on Britain\u2019s inconvenient recent loss of windpower (see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/the-cool-north-sea-breeze-lifting-us-coal\">The Cool North Sea Breeze Lifting US Coal<\/a>). Higher prices are exposing the poorly conceived energy policies of many western governments. By pandering to climate extremists to demonize fossil fuels, the world is now coming up short of energy. High prices for natural gas are stimulating demand for coal. Even in the US, the Energy Information Administration expects the black stuff to regain market share from natural gas in power generation. A decade of reduced emissions due mostly to cheap natural gas is being reversed because of a shift in relative pricing. The Biden administration is likely to find itself explaining why US CO2 emissions are approaching pre-Covid levels by next year\u2019s midterms (see&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/emissions-to-rise-under-democrats\">Emissions To Rise Under Democrats<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-105790 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_1.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_1-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_1-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; aspect-ratio: 1030\/579;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In February last year, there was a period of a couple of weeks when Covid became the major news story in Asia and Italy but hadn\u2019t yet reached America. It felt like waiting for a distant tsunami to reach our shores. The global energy crisis feels eerily similar. Other than a mild rise in prices at the pump, it hasn\u2019t drawn much media attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By contrast, with European natural gas prices up roughly six-fold, politicians are scrambling to deal with the fallout. France plans to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/energy\/france-block-further-natural-gas-electricity-price-rises-2021-09-30\/\">cap utility bills<\/a>, providing what French PM called a \u201ctariffs shield.\u201d Governments across Europe will spend tens of \u20acBNs over the next several months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China\u2019s Vice Premier Han Zheng reportedly told state-owned energy companies to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-09-30\/china-orders-top-energy-firms-to-secure-supplies-at-all-costs?sref=1pkGItPd\">secure supplies<\/a>&nbsp;so as to ensure continued power supply \u201cat all costs.\u201d Such a directive will concentrate minds among those receiving the directive \u2013 the consequence of failure is likely to be more than just a smaller year-end bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-105791 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_2.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_2-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_2-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; aspect-ratio: 1030\/579;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>China\u2019s highly motivated coal buyers are competing with many other countries. Over half of India\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/india-power-coal\/india-coal-crisis-brews-as-power-demand-surges-record-global-prices-bite-idUSKBN2GR2Z3\">power plants<\/a>&nbsp;are down to fuel stocks (mostly coal) of under three days, well short of the two-week government minimum. A German&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-10-01\/energy-crisis-forces-german-power-plant-to-halt-on-lack-of-coal?srnd=premium-asia&amp;sref=1pkGItPd\">power plant<\/a>&nbsp;recently shut down because it ran out of coal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scramble is all about acquiring fossil fuels, because they\u2019re reliable. There\u2019s no evidence of a scramble to obtain more solar or windpower. The managers of China\u2019s power supply mandated to ensure reliability are not rushing to buy windmills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The public policy error committed in many countries including the US has been to pander to climate extremists while disingenuously pretending that transitioning to low carbon energy can be done without disruption or enormous expense. The EU has a form of carbon tax via a cap and trade system, but it\u2019s clearly not onerous enough to affect demand. Instead of fossil fuels generating increased taxes that European governments could redeploy into renewables, they\u2019re going to be heavily subsidizing coal and natural gas use by capping homeowners\u2019 utility bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1030\" height=\"579\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-105792 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_3.jpg 1030w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_3-700x393.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/10\/sladv_10-6-21_3-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1030px; aspect-ratio: 1030\/579;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since no politician has hailed high energy prices as a successful consequence of policies to advance the energy transition, government leaders may conclude that public concern about global warming doesn\u2019t imply a willingness to spend much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is little or no evidence at this time, of any plan or process to make the transition.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The result is that higher energy prices are likely headed to the US too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This may be good for energy investors, but will also challenge the Fed\u2019s belief that elevated inflation will be coming down. Energy prices will feed through to the general price level. German&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/1241b033-6fe3-4cc0-95fc-befdfc7935ab\">inflation<\/a>&nbsp;reached a 29-year high of 4.1% in September, and across the eurozone it reached a 13-year high of 3.4%. German workers at a motorhome manufacturer are striking for more pay. The country\u2019s biggest union, IG Metall, is demanding 4.5% pay hikes because \u201cInflation in Germany keeps going up\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fed believes short term logistical challenges are impeding the supply of goods, and as these are resolved price pressures will recede. They ought to consider whether the 25% of GDP that the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.imf.org\/en\/Topics\/imf-and-covid19\/Fiscal-Policies-Database-in-Response-to-COVID-19\">IMF<\/a>&nbsp;calculates the US government has provided because of Covid might be the real issue, along with the Fed\u2019s monetization of much of the debt that was issued as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally Posted on October 3, 2021 &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/sl-advisors.com\/the-global-energy-crisis\">The Global Energy Crisis<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The global energy crisis is becoming the biggest investment story of 2021.
