Trump energy policy key to reviving economy — Biden plan destroys jobs, raise costs

[anatta]

One of President Trump’s most important accomplishments in office has been the energy revolution that has led to sharply increased oil and natural gas production and job creation in the U.S. But our days of energy insecurity and dependence on other nations in unstable areas of the world to meet our energy needs will return if former Vice President Joe Biden wins the November election.

The Trump administration’s deregulatory policies, combined with a rapidly innovating domestic energy industry, led to the U.S. becoming a net exporter of petroleum products in 2019 — including gasoline, diesel fuel and crude oil — for the first time since 1949.

Overall U.S. exports of all forms of energy exceeded energy imports last year for the first time since 1952. And in 2017, America exported more natural gas than it imported — for the first time in 60 years.

This surge in American energy production has saved Americans more than $200 billion a year on energy costs for their cars, trucks, homes and businesses.
Further, these lower energy costs provide an even greater benefit to lower-income households, which typically spend a larger share of their earnings on energy.

Today the oil and natural gas industry supports more than 10 million jobs in the U.S. and is more important than ever at a time when the coronavirus pandemic has shut down many businesses and sent unemployment soaring. As bad as our economy is suffering now, things would be a lot worse if we had to rely on imported energy produced by foreign workers.

During his trip to Texas, the president announced the signing of four energy-related project permits, including for pipelines that will export American natural gas to Mexico to provide clean power to our southern neighbors’ homes, steel mills and factories.

The president also noted that, due to effectively enforced environmental rules, America’s clean energy revolution has improved air and water quality here while slashing our reliance on energy imports from nations with a poor environmental track record.

U.S. air quality has improved by 77 percent since 1970, including 7 percent under President Trump

Biden announced a $2 trillion energy plan July 14 that promises to spread public money across most of the energy sector. This makes it clear that Biden’s approach to energy represents a doubling down on policies imposed by President Barack Obama’s administration, with government officials picking winners and losers (remember Solyndra?) as energy costs to consumers increase sharply.

Reverse Trump’s regulatory reforms (in other words, impose costly regulations on energy production that would raise energy costs to consumers).

Move the U.S. on a path to net-zero carbon dioxide emissions by 2050 (some oil and gas industry leaders like this, because it includes massive subsidies for carbon sequestration deep underground).

Reengage on international commitments to reduce carbon emissions (none of which can be practically enforced).

Spend $400 billion on underwriting clean energy technology, including advanced nuclear reactors (these energy sources can’t compete without massive subsidies paid for by your tax dollars).

Make household appliances and businesses more energy-efficient (the Trump administration recently relaxed rules that forced dishwashers and washing machines to take significantly longer to complete their loads, while leaving dishes and clothes less clean).

Adopt a whole-of-government approach to “environmental justice” (meaning open season on job-killing lawsuits backed by federal agencies).

Enact a carbon tax through regulation, while holding corporate officials personally responsible for violating “climate pollution” rules with prison time (this would sharply increase the costs of energy production).

Create 10 million union jobs (this claim is highly questionable, and doesn’t mention the millions of jobs the Biden plan would destroy in the oil, natural gas and coal industries).

And the president then went on to ask Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, “…how do you think that works in Texas? No fracking, no drilling, no oil. I don't think Biden is going to do too well in Texas.”

Our economy will never improve until the pandemic is brought under control.

Agreed. (Course, Amazon Shareholders are doing quite well)

So, Trump did all of this with the snap of a finger???? I can remember gas prices at the pump started to drop after 2014, which is still in Obama's time.

patently false. whatever green creates will be offset by fossil fuel losses.
Plus it isn't ready for prime time (Europe example) and it shoots up costs

This should be easy but too much of the electorate thinks like that^

So long as we stay a net exporter we are safe from skyrocketing energy prices. Pump prices are always going to fluctuate; but the key is to keep away from ‘European’ types of prices and within a reasonable range.

Biden would have us licking the boots of OPEC. Biden would return us to the days when the ME is more of a national security issue. Presently, we have to make up excuses to be there. Because, Kurds or whatever.

All of which makes energy policy a national security issue.

See how easy that is? Should be a no-brainer, but Orange Man Bad.

How can you say this??????? Oil exploration when up during the Obama years, and oil production grew, then oil prices when down because of increases production. Where are you getting your news??????

It happened that Obama was president when fracking took off.

As luck would have it, as it were.
