Both Democrat presidential candidates, Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, have bowed to the demands of progressive activists by adopting extreme green-energy policies that hurt Black American voters. As a result, leaders of normally progressive/liberal civil rights organizations are now urging Democrats to reconsider support for policies that would radically move us away from traditional and affordable energy like natural gas to unproven green energy.
A rejection of the Donald Trump led American energy renaissance would raise the cost for all low-income Americans who struggle to pay for heating and cooling their homes and fueling their cars - particularly in most black neighborhoods.
It is refreshing to see liberal leaders like Marc Morial, the National Urban League President, break with the radical Green Agenda. According to recent media coverage, Morial, and even Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have warned against "an abrupt move away from natural gas." Morial argued that, “Natural gas is a bit of a bridge fuel. It’s a fuel that we need to have access to because the transition to alternatives is a long-range transition."
More and more liberal Black leaders are advocating for expanding, not restricting, the production and transportation of oil and gas. They now join thought leaders Kay Cole-James and Herman Cain because they understand how clean burning natural gas provides their communities with affordable energy.

Only Black Americans are hurt by the Dems energy policies? I believe everyone will be...
Really fixed it... 😋
