The Donald Trump Administration has thankfully eradicated another Barack Obama Administration legacy liability.

The Obama Administration was the most proactively anti-energy presidency with which We the People have ever been afflicted.

Obama’s Quiet War on Oil:

“The oil and gas industry is in the crosshairs of the administration’s eco-agenda….”

It really wasn’t all that quiet. Or subtle. Or self-aware.

Then cometh the Trump Administration. Thank God.

Trump Reverses Obama-Era Energy Policy

Trump Approves Pipelines as a Way to Put ‘America First’

Trump Moves to Open Nearly All Offshore Waters to Drilling

And then this happens.

God bless America.

Please remember all of this when:

Obama Takes Credit for America’s Energy Independence:

“‘Suddenly America is like the biggest oil producer, the biggest gas producer,’ said Barack Obama in an impromptu remark at Rice University on Tuesday. ‘That was me, people.’ After a minute of additional economic boasts, Obama instructed the audience, ‘Say ‘thank you.’”

There are a lot of people to thank. None of them is Barack Obama.

This oil revolution is excellent news – for a variety of national and international reasons.

The Economy

Lower energy prices mean a better economy all the way round. The less people pay at the pump – the more they can spend…everywhere else. That additional economic activity – generates additional economic activity. And round and round we go. Which of course also means…

Jobs

More jobs created. Money generates activity – and activity requires paid people to engage in it.

National and Global Security

The US leading the world in oil production – is a whole lot better than…less pleasant places like Russia or anywhere in the Middle East doing so. For us – and the rest of the reasonable planet.

Unfortunately, as we have seen time and time again, the Left is adroit at locating awful, anti-law Leftist judges – so as to block the perfectly legal and safe building of said pipelines.

Federal Judges Cite Dr. Suess’ Lorax to Block Construction of Atlantic Coast Pipeline

In case you weren’t sure – Dr. Seuss was never a legislator. He wrote children’s books – which explains these judges’ childlike thinking. Unfortunately, their abuse of their positions, the law and We the People – is full-grown.

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline – is a necessary next step in the ever-necessary, never-ending steps forward in our continued energy leadership.

Just as President Trump in 2017 approving the Keystone and Dakota Access Pipelines – after Obama long blocked them – were important steps towards our again taking the global petroleum lead.

If you ain’t moving forward – you’re moving backward.

For those who succumbed to government schools – the state of Virginia is on the Atlantic coast. So the Atlantic Coast Pipeline – travels through Virginia.

Very unfortunately, apparently-former-conservative former Virginia official Ken Cuccinelli II has penned a piece in opposition to this important next step. In which he sounds very much like the Leftists he used to oppose To wit:

“(A) non-Dominion (Power) expert testified that the pipeline would raise power bills by $2.5 billion over the next 20 years.”

Well that’s amorphous. Who, pray tell, is this “non-Dominion expert?” Gregory Lander:

“Lander (was) retained by environmental groups…including the Natural Resources Defense Council in Washington and the Southern Environmental Law Center.”

Disinterested parties to be sure. They who pay the piper – call the crooked tune.

I’m sure Lander’s Leftist math – is just as brilliant as Leftist math always is. (Hint: Not very.)

The Left’s fake energy math – isn’t any better.

Why Do Federal Subsidies Make Renewable Energy So Costly?

Meanwhile, how’s real energy doing?

Oil Prices Hit A New Low

The trip to our outstanding current global energy leadership – is made up of thousands of steps.

One of these necessary next steps – is the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.

We need to disregard the ever-incorrect Left – and do what President Trump has been doing.

Taking these necessary next steps.

Ever forward.
