Achieved What Every Pres Since Nixon Had Promised: Energy Indepence

New York City NY

Description

Energy Security: At the end of 2018, the U.S. exported more oil than we imported, for the first time in 70-plus years. And it happened not because of decades of federal "energy policies," but despite them. President Donald Trump took office and announced a radical departure from 50 years of received energy "wisdom." In a speech to the Energy Department months after taking office, he said that for decades leaders peddled the myth of energy scarcity. Most of it is self-imposed, he said. What the country needs, he said, isn't "alternative" energy, or new austerity measures. It's a government that "promotes energy development." Trump listed actions he was taking to lift federal impediments to energy production. Lo and behold, Trump was right. Advanced drilling technologies have opened vast expanses of domestic oil and natural gas. And as domestic production skyrocketed, imports have been steadily dropping. Trump doesn't deserve all the credit for this boom. Oil companies do. But unlike his predecessors, Trump understands that energy independence doesn't require yet another "energy plan" that tells people to wear more sweaters in the winter and wastes money on "new" energy sources. It just requires GOVERNMENT TO GET OUT OF THE WAY so that oil companies can get at the vast supplies of good old oil and gas RIGHT UNDER THE U.S. SOIL. TODAY, YOU CAN SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN DEMONCRAT GOVT GETS IN THE WAY. ANYONE THAT TELLS YOU DIFFERENT IS ILL INFORMED AND IGNORANT BECAUSE THEY LISTEN ONLY TO ABC, CBS, NBC CNN AND MSNBC. Cancel the Gray Lady and get the Epoc Times so you can shut these liars down.
