We should be selling off gas and oil from federal lands just to balance the budget and pay off our $17 trillion national debt. Deliberately expensive energy is based on the precautionary principle, a principle not used anywhere else by the left as far as I can tell, in this case basing it on a relatively minor increase of the trace gas carbon dioxide from 350 to 400 parts per million(by volume) for the unproven hypotheses first called manmade global warming, then manmade climate change and going now as the cause of extreme weather events.

The left doesn't want to debate their science fiction; they just want to make ad hominems, e.g. calling sceptics flat earthers.

IMHO, we should dump our fiat currency, and return to a hard currency, in this case based on energy content, not gold. Fiat currencies hide inflation, the invisible tax.

Can someone tell me what we're getting from the Ukraine for our $1 billion dollars?

I can almost promise you that they want "cash".

And my guess is that these "loans" will be forgiven...cuz they have nothing to pay them back.

Putin is happening now. Huge deliveries won’t happen for years.

Natural gas getting delivered is severely hampered by the lack of pipelines, unless we want to send what is already used here at home and shorting our own supply and driving up prices.

Bad move...we need the natural gas here. Europe made its bed with the Greenies-—let it go dark and cold.

Ignore the anti-competition NIMBYs, and finish the Keystone XL pipeline instead. Real estate values are dead for the next few decades anyway (see tagline).

And monkeys might fly out of my butt.

President Palin (or Secretary of Energy Palin) would though.
