Ted Cruz, Jim Bridenstine Push Back Against Climate Change Alarmists with ‘American Energy’ [tr]

Opposition to U.S. energy expansion has been growing, despite American fracking driving world energy prices down by 60%. But Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Representative Jim Bridenstine (R-OK) are taking a leadership role by introducing a 14 point ‘American Energy Renaissance Act’ to remove federal impediments to energy exploration, development, and export.

Senator Cruz asked Americans to make a choice: “Will we lead the world into a new generation of American prosperity led by the great American energy renaissance we’re experiencing, or will we instead shut off our borders, erect walls, and allow our friends and allies to be dependent on tyrants like Vladimir Putin or Nicolás Maduro?”

. . . . .

The American Energy Renaissance Act proposes 16 points:

• Leave regulation of hydraulic fracturing in state hands. With only a minority (39 percent) of the public supporting increased use of fracking versus 51 percent opposing increases, liberals want to nationalize the approval process for political purposes.
• Streamline permitting process for upgrading existing and building new refineries. The number of U.S. refineries was cut by two thirds over the last 40 years, and most are on coasts to process imported oil. Liberals are using low refining capacity to limit the expansion of fracking.
• Phase out and repeal the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) over five years. Everyone knows that ethanol is a price support and has doubled the price of corn. Ethanol will never be commercially viable without massive subsidy.
• Immediately approve and allow the private sector to build the Keystone pipeline. The State Department is dragging its heels before denying the permit during next year’s election cycle. The most powerful opponents of the XL Pipeline are oil importers that cannot compete against the low cost of North American crude oil.
• Exclude greenhouse gases from regulation by the EPA and federal agencies.

	"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

This is the ticket.

The problem is that the left does not want more energy... more energy = larger population. They want negative population.

True. Yet they also seem to want to micromanage our diet and health choices as if they want us to live longer. They are a house divided, and evil.

Climate Change Alarmists:

The little "scientists" who cried Government Grant...

[conservativejoy]

You have to hand it to Cruz. He has several bills and initiatives that he is working on that deal with substantive issues that the average American can relate to,immigration,healthcare, energy, terrorism.
He’s not just a brilliant orator, he’s a worker who wants to get things done. There isn’t another potential presidential candidate that matches his focus and fire.
I don’t think we have seen anyone of this caliber since Reagan.

The problem is that the left does not want more energy... more energy = larger population. They want negative population.

I don’t believe they want negative population as much as they want to change the complexion of the population. I believe they are striving for a brown socialist country that would include present day Canada, The United States, Mexico and Central America. One of a few states in the one world government. Then there will be serious population control exercised and as you say “negative population”.

i am very much in favor of “shuting off our borders, and erect walls”.

Ted, Ted, Ted, grow a spine and say the word. I’ll even give you credit if you mispronounce it “nucular” — just say it!
