Dave (& ALL)
The details of Vivek Ramaswamy's energy policies were recently reported from his speeches at the Iowa caucuses. Click Here Here's some quotes illustrating his energy ideas: << Near the end of almost every stump speech, Vivek Ramaswamy preaches, "God is Real. There are two genders. Fossil fuels are a requirement of human prosperity." << the U.S. needs to . . "embrace American energy, because we drill, we frack, we burn coal." << "Dig, frack, burn coal, embrace nuclear" << Ramaswamy often hammers home his support for nuclear energy. He called nuclear energy "the most abundant form of energy known to man." << The easiest way to deal with reducing our national debt problem --take the natural resources underneath this country, oil and natural gas specifically, get them out of the ground and sell them. I would add these comments. American sales of oil and natural gas overseas would profit the nation, including the federal budgets. Also, because the fossil fuels are the most economical, that would benefit both businesses as well as individuals. And these would bolster reliability, compared with the intermittent wind & solar sources. In addition, the US produced products burn cleaner than the imported versions, as well as avoiding transportation on oil-fired ships. Important environmental gains. Recall how Trump did achieve American energy independence, and we were selling oil & natural gas overseas. This would mesh nicely with Ramaswamy's energy ideas, or with the DeSantis policy, also announced recently. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Here's a video of Gov Ron DeSantis introducing his new Energy Policy, last week in Midland Texas. Note there's a plaque on his podium spelling out one of the plan goals -- $2 gas in 2025. The DeSantis speech begins at the 5:30 marker of the video. Also here's reports about this new energy plan: Click Here Click Here And here are some details in the plan that meet my concerns: << Unleash oil and gas exploration and development, pipelines, and infrastructure << Elevate Evidence Over Ideology, Replace climate change ideology with American energy dominance goals << Greenlight oil, gas, coal, uranium, and critical mineral mining. Reduce our reliance on China for strategic minerals. << Focus on the most reliable energy sources at the cheapest cost << Defend our grid against blackouts << Repeal Biden rules targeting gas stoves, furnaces, and other appliances << Repeal Biden’s EV mandates and support Americans’ right to drive the cars they want Seems these steps would abolish some of Biden's greenie programs that are hurting Americans and that are strengthening our adversaries. And the other GOP candidates would do well to jump aboard those kinds of American Energy Independence efforts. Some candidates are already on board. BUT the Dem's and their mass media followers are likely to raise false objections |
