We're Number One! powerlineblog.com/archives/2019/… via @powerlineUS
@powerlineUS Not only have we increased our energy production, courtesy of fracking, to the point that we are the world’s pre-eminent energy power, we have, at the same time, reduced our pollution and our CO2 emissions (if you think that matters) more than any other country.
@powerlineUS One of Obama’s worst lies, in my opinion, was his frequent assertion that the U.S. used 25% of the world’s energy, but had only 3% of the world’s petroleum reserves. As I wrote on this site many times, Obama must have known that this was a lie.
@powerlineUS Why did Obama mislead the American people on energy? Because his party’s patrons made enormous investments in wind and solar energy, which are absurdly unreliable, inefficient and expensive energy sources compared with oil and gas.
@powerlineUS But the magnates of those subsidy- and mandate-dependent industries, like Tom Steyer, called the tune in the Democratic Party, and the Obama administration fell into line.
@powerlineUS The result would have been disastrous for the American people, but for the frackers’ end run around federal policy.
So let’s celebrate the fact that today, America is number one, both in energy production and in emission reduction.
