Despite billions of taxpayer dollars directed toward forcing a transition to intermittent renewables, wind and solar have not replaced reliable thermal energy. Instead, they have only added to an increasingly energy-hungry economy that still depends on oil, natural gas, and coal to keep America moving. Whether they realize it or not, every American still relies on fossil fuels and the companies that produce, transport, and deliver them.

Simply put, fossil fuels and the companies that produce them remain integral to the energy industry that powers American life. That’s why an upcoming Supreme Court ruling deserves close attention.
