MONACA, Pennsylvania — All Darrin Kelly wanted for the energy workers in Western Pennsylvania was that the Democratic presidential hopefuls would talk to them before going to war against shale.
That opportunity slipped away last Friday when Elizabeth Warren joined Bernie Sanders in calling for a total fracking ban.
“On my first day as president, I will sign an executive order that puts a total moratorium on all new fossil-fuel leases for drilling offshore and on public lands. And I will ban fracking — everywhere,” Warren tweeted.
They may look like ordinary construction cranes to someone unfamiliar with the history of this region. But if you’re from here, they look like something different. Building the ethane cracker plant, each of these cranes looks like a new colossus rising from the ashes of yesterday’s despair.
Building the plant has brought in 6,000 good-paying jobs, with more to come. Ultimately, there will be 600 permanent jobs at the plant, with industry analysts predicting triple that amount in supporting industries.
Jobs postings are everywhere touting opportunities, no matter the skill level — high school education, trade school certificate, chemists, engineers, IT, labor. If you reliably turn up for work, there is likely a career for you in the oil and gas industry.
“And if you think our workers don’t care for the environment or climate change you are wrong,” said Kelly. “They are the ones not only working in the industry, but they live here, play here, raise their kids here, hunt, fish, boat, ski, swim, and hike. They want to be in a responsible industry,” he said.

This is the key.
Can’t be.
Warren and Sanders are beating Trump by 3,849,383 percentage points.
That’s using the new math. :)
Great article, thanks!
“On my first day as president, I will sign an executive order that puts a total moratorium on all new fossil-fuel leases for drilling offshore and on public lands. And I will ban fracking — everywhere,” Warren tweeted.
Day two energy prices double, day three the economy goes into the 2nd Great Recession.
In addition to the boom in the energy industry facilitated by President Trumps initiatives there is a boom in the need for skilled trades chief among them are master welders and machinists.
Those two skilled trades can earn a person into the 6 figures. The trucking industry has a shortage of 61000 drivers.
Our economy is on fire. Of course these things are never ever mentioned by the Propaganda Arm of the DNC AKA the MSM. But, they are all fact.
Depression.
Good argument to make.

Is that where they make white people?
Fast forward to President Liawatha's total ban on fracking. We can be damn sure that provisions will be made for all Rat Party types to have an unlimited supply of gasoline,heating oil,propane,natural gas and electricity at giveaway prices.
Crackers? Hey,I get it!!!!
I think that is where they make Aunt Ethels.
My son left from NJ for Pittsburgh 4 weeks ago. He’ll be out there onsite for maybe 2 years for the Boilermakers, unfortunately, he is very liberal. Hopefully he’s listening.
I knew evolution was fake.
He’s probably already got an ear full.
Yes, He’s being paid well and is in awe of the project. He told us that it’s the biggest construction project on the continent and the they have the 2nd largest crane in the world there. The people working there are proud of the project.
Well, I’d say this proves that Warren is of sacred heritage. She’s a full blooded American Idiot.

And I bet a bunch of the equipment and units being installed were manufactured right here in Tulsa OK - the home to most of the heat exchange and process equipment manufacturers in the world.
Just think back to ObamaCare. One of the pivotal points that got very little mention is that the Rat Party House,the Rat Party Senate,and the Rat Party President,exempted themselves...entirely...from all of its provision.

Exactly! When this first happened, I would ask people who supported Obummer: “If Obama-care is so wonderful, why are the people who forced it on us EXEMPT from it? If it is sooo wonderful, wouldn’t they be more than happy to be using it?” Typical answer: “Well, they have their own health plan.” So did I! Obama-care was never about healthcare. It was about control.
