C-MACC Weekly “CRETER” (Climate etc.)
Lawyer Up: With ESG Initiatives Losing Steam, Enter the Lawyers
- As we watch the “anti-woke” lobby in the US cause investors to step back from the responsibility they should never have wanted in the first place; enter litigation.
- Asset Managers should not be the drivers of policy or policy compliance – their job is to best serve the needs of their clients, and making money comes first.
- Idealist shareholders will always be outnumbered, and activists and NGOs that want climate action will logically turn to the courts if governments let them down.
- Separately we look at electric ethylene, cheaper than carbon abatement in some parts of Europe but still likely at the top of the cost curve without cheap power.
- Otherwise, we question French PET recycling, the limits of pyrolysis, the benefits of CCS scale in the US, crazy solar investments, and some carbon trading.
