What Democrats Want, Day 34, Countdown to Oblivion? ENERGY

THE U.S. economy runs on fossil fuel. There is an abundant supply. It is relatively economical. The Democratic Party believes that man is the primary cause of global warming/climate change (see the Day 43 post) using these God-given resources. The Republican favor the use of current energy resources and reject the idea that mans use of fossil fuels is the primary cause of change in climate.

 

Employment

Yesterday we talked about employment (see the Day 35 post). The energy sector generates many jobs. Oil fields, fracking, refining, transporting all are labor intensive. The Democrat in seeking to do away with all use of fossil fuels propose to convert those jobs into “Green” jobs. Manufacturing and maintaining wind turbines, solar panels and an infrastructure to integrate these alternatives into the current grid does not seem feasible or economical. I do not see being able to create enough “Green” jobs to offset the loss of jobs in the current energy sector. 

Cost of “Green” Energy

If they did succeed in converting the country over to alternative energy sources rolling blackouts and energy shortages would probably be a regular occurrence. Then there is the cost on creating an infrastructure to support “Green” energy. The taxpayers and not private industry will be footing much of the bill with massive subsidies. The nation is already in a deep whole when it come to our national debt (see the Day 45 post).  We are talking trillions of dollars if Harris-Biden and the rest of the communistic Democratic Party gains control of the government.

 

The Trump Energy Plan

For the first time in many years the United States is a net exporter of oil instead of being dependent on Arab oil. We are energy independent. Why mess with success?

The Trump Administration has allowed the Keystone XL pipeline to be built, but the project has run into legal problems. A Wikipedia entry regarding the legal case involving an environmentalist group states that on “July 6, 2020 In the US Army Corps of Engineers v. Northern Plains Resource Council case, the Supreme Court of the U.S. ordered all Keystone XL work be halted. The order, however, does not affect any other present or future pipeline construction in the United States, and will be in force until the circuit court, and then the Supreme Court deliver their final rulings. In response, TC Energy stated that the US part of the project will be reassessed (but not abandoned); the Canadian part will proceed as before.” The pipeline project creates one well-paying jobs.  The opposition to the pipeline maintains that the project will negatively impact climate change.  This is highly debatable.

In the same way environmental groups are also battling the fracking process. Fracking has been a real boom to the economy of Pennsylvania and other states. Earlier this year the Hill reported in “Court OKs Trump repeal of Obama public lands fracking rule” that “a federal judge upheld the Trump Administration’s decision to repeal an Obama-era rule that established standards for hydraulic fracking on federal land.”

 

Conclusion

The Democrats are all in for Climate Change and see a “Green” future. The more realistic Republicans see energy independence and support of our manufacturing industries and high priorities to sustain America’s position as a global economic leader.

Vote Democrat if you want the inconvenience that will accompany environmental extremism and climate alarmism policies if allowed to come to fruition. Vote Republican if you want to see a vibrant economy, job creation, cheap energy and lower taxes. 

What Democrats Want, Day 43, Countdown to Oblivion? CLIMATE

As of today, there are 43 days until the most consequential election in American history. This is what they say about many past elections, but this is really it. For if the Democrats seize power – control of the U.S. House, the U.S. Senate and the Presidency – and doing it by hook or by crook (the justifies the means, you know) America as we know it will be forever changed. America envisioned and created by the Founding Fathers will disappear into the shadows of history.

The ungodly secular-humanists/Marxists slow march through America’s institutions over the last 100 years or so will have reached a crescendo – fulfilling Mr. Obama’s fundamental transformation of America. Never again will the demonic Democratic Party relinquish its grip on political power and control of the masses.

Envision with me what a Socialist Democratic Party, takeover, a bloodless coup, a regime change, would look like. This is one in a series of daily articles leading up to the 2020 General Election

 

THE Democrats, like all good Marxists, want to control all aspect of human life including the environment. One way they can do that is blaming mankind for any change in the climate or weather pattern. They can implement rules and regulations that fit with their interpretation for what is good for the planet.

Once Climate Alarmists insisted that the Earth was going to revert to the Ice Age, then when temperatures got warmer, they blamed man for “Global Warming.” The newest term they now use is “Climate Change.”

 

A Few Definitions

WebstersDictionary1828.com defines climate as, “In a popular sense, a tract of land, region or country, differing from another in the temperature of the air; or any region or country with respect to the temperature of the air, the seasons, and their peculiar qualities, without any regard to the length of the days, or to geographical position. Thus, we say, a warm or cold climate; a moist or dry climate; a happy climate; a genial climate; a mountainous climate.”

Similarly, www.Dictionary.com defines climate as, “the composite or generally prevailing weather conditions of a region, as temperature, air pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine, cloudiness, and winds, throughout the year, averaged over a series of years. A region or area characterized by a given climate: to move to a warm climate.”

www.Merriam-Webster.com defines climate change as, “Significant and long-lasting change in the Earth's climate and weather patterns.”

The Climate Alarmists or Environmental Extremists, if you prefer, contend that man and his use of fossil fuel is the prime cause of changes in climate or weather patterns. This is unscientific. Man has limited influence in the weather or in the change of climate. Much of the data used to “prove” climate changes has been rigged.

 

The Democrats and Climate Alarmism

The Democratic Party has been hijacked by radical Marxists, who treat “Climate Change” as a core issue along with abortion. Radical Marxist and first term New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio Cortez along with self-proclaimed socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders serve as advisors to the Harris-Biden presidential campaign and Democratic Party Platform. Cortez espouses the Green New Deal which seeks to reduce use of fossil fuels to “save the planet.”

Former Vice President Al Gore is another prominent Democrat who has been pushing global warming and climate change ideas. Gore in 2005 founded The Climate Reality Project (formerly the Alliance for Climate Protection) is a non-profit organization devoted to solving the (non-existent) climate crisis. He has made a lot of loot selling man-caused climate change as he flies across the consuming gallons and gallons of fossil fuel…

 

California Dreamin’

Gov. Gavin Newsome (D-CA) blames President Trump and Climate Change for the wildfires out west. Ignoring the real causes: the mismanagement of forests – not allowing forests to be cleared of dead trees, etc., and domestic terrorist committing acts of arson up and down the West Coast.

 

The End

Vote Democrat if you want to live in a fossil fuel less world, walking or riding a bicycle to work, living in approved housing in large metropolitan cities, under severe and numerous environmental regulations and with burdensome taxes.

Or vote Republican for commonsense conservation and limited environmental rules where individual freedom is protected along with the environment.
