US Department of Energy officials rebrand fossil fuels as ‘molecules of freedom’ & ‘freedom gas’
Legal Insurrection ^ | 05/30/2019 | Leslie Eastman

A couple of weeks ago, I noted the green justice advocates were planning to rebrand “climate change” to “climate disaster” in order to gin up hysteria and fear.

It turns out two can play that game. In a move that heralds the beginning of the Trump Administration’s election battle with climate change extremists, fossil fuels are getting a vocabulary makeover.

Two Department of Energy officials referred on Wednesday to natural gas produced in the US as “freedom gas” and “molecules of U.S. freedom” in a press release announcing the expansion of a natural gas facility in Texas.

Increasing export capacity from the Freeport LNG project is critical to spreading freedom gas throughout the world by giving America’s allies a diverse and affordable source of clean energy,” Under Secretary of Energy Mark Menezes said.

The outlet asked Perry if “freedom gas” might be an accurate description of the exports, to which Perry replied, “So yes, I think you may be correct in your observation.”

It gets better. I have previously noted that atmospheric levels of life-essential gases have changed throughout geologic time, without human influence. Furthermore, carbon dioxide enriched environments enhance plant growth.

Now, Trump administration officials are poised to argue that there is a “carbon dioxide famine“, countering the claims that CO2 is going to kill the Earth through global warming.

E&E News reported, Happer has stated, “The public in general doesn’t realize that from the point of view of geological history, we are in a CO2 famine,” ... The world has lots and lots of problems, but increasing CO2 is not one of the problems. So [the Paris accord] dignifies it by getting all these yahoos who don’t know a damn thing about climate saying, ‘This is a problem, and we’re going to solve it.’ All this virtue signaling.”

It’s based on a small piece of truth - and it’s a BIG favorite for liberals. I have no idea why it’s listed here.

Legal Insurrection is a reliable source. If it is fake news, I like it anyway!

Excellente.

It’s just amazingly sad to watch a fine country devolve in Lysenkoism and “climate justice” wankery, choose your own adventure bathrooms, and golly knows what’s next. “Energy Independence” was the policy just about everyone agreed on not that long ago.

I don’t know where the looney tunes all get their talking points from these days, but they need a JDAM up the tailpipe.

It seems a bit, uh, heavy handed (?). It reads like old soviet propaganda.

Why not Gaia's Gifts?

Gaia's Gifts, the Erf's natural sources of the essential plant nutrient, CO2!

With the U.S. in another year of record-setting natural gas production, I am pleased that the Department of Energy is doing what it can to promote an efficient regulatory system that allows for molecules of U.S. freedom to be exported to the world,” said Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy

Yes, that's the small kernel of truth liberals are running with... they live to find ways they're ‘superior’ to the yahoos. Chuck Todd did a whole riff on this yesterday... without realizing he was coming off as desperate - not ‘superior’...

Let’s face it, the sky has hit the ground so many times now we should stop spinning long ago. But the magic is we are thriving now better than we have in generations and the only way we can implode is if we do it ourselves. And I wouldn’t put it past us.
