Statement by Governor Waller on principles for climate-related financial risk management for large financial institutions

I cannot support this issuance of guidance on climate change. Climate change is real, but I disagree with the premise that it poses a serious risk to the safety and soundness of large banks and the financial stability of the United States. The Federal Reserve conducts regular stress tests on large banks that impose extremely severe macroeconomic shocks and they show that the banks are resilient.

Комментарии Джона Кокрана:
One of the most important and under-reported struggles under the radar is the politicization of administrative agencies, and the effort to cement via those agencies policies that Congress will never vote for, but that once enshrined will be very difficult for any administration or Congress to overturn.

One central part of that is the "whole of government" climate policy, centered around stopping fossil fuel development and subsidizing electric cars, photovoltaics and windmills. Never mind that large scale storage remains a pipe dream, never mind the lessons of Europe.

The lessons of Europe are not to trust your energy supply to unreliable/malicious parties. It is not directly related to the type of energy, IMO.

А здесь, в Англии, люди, причём умеющие считать, физику,статистику знающие и проч., продолжают считать, что мало построили ветряков, нужно просто scale further. Никакие полфунта за квтч их не трогают.
