Energy & Corporate Social Responsibility

Our friend Paul Driessen has a piece on Townhall about “The Social Responsibility of Coal.” He points out that in public policy debates: “‘Corporate social responsibility’ is often defined and used by activist groups [that] want to engineer a ‘wholesale transformation’ of our energy and economic system…” Among such groups, there is little (if any) appreciation for how living standards are tied to the availability of abundant, cheap energy.  Driessen discusses the topic with respect to the U.S.’s substantial coal reserves, and the rise of anti-coal agenda from the Left.
