A Biden-Harris presidency would largely end oil and gas production
The Hill ^ | August 22, 2020 | Jason Hayes

Joe Biden’s selection of Kamala Harris as his vice presidential running mate could mean the end to the affordable energy that makes modern American life possible.

In comparison to the Trump administration, which has prioritized deregulation and energy dominance, the former vice president and California senator have both committed themselves to heavily restrict fracking as they focus on climate change and renewable energy. If enacted, the Biden-Harris plan would reduce energy choices, increase prices and drive Americans back to international markets for essential energy supplies.

On issues of energy supply, Biden has been clear. For example, moderators at the Democratic Party debates asked him about his position on hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, the means by which American natural gas producers have helped to free us from many of the vagaries of international energy markets. He boldly replied, “No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period. Ends!” Later, in the same debate, he added, “No new fracking.”

That broad and somewhat vague pronouncement likely raised blood pressure readings among supporters in Biden’s campaign. Promising to put as many as 1.7 million American workers out of a job by banning fracking would be a hard sell for any campaign, especially in gas-producing states such as Texas or Pennsylvania. So no one was surprised to see Biden staffers walk back the former VP’s ambiguous promises immediately after the debate. They quickly limited his anti-fracking rhetoric to targeting energy development on federal lands.

And Biden staffers aren’t the only ones openly correcting policy stances for the former vice president. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.), who co-chairs the Sanders side of the Biden-Sanders Unity Task Force, is getting in on the action, too.

To expand your desire to see Dr. Fauci held to account for his Crimes Against Humanity I suggest reading one or both of Dr. Judy Mikovit’s recently published books.

Also, peruse this:

“But nothing involving Fauci as the funding didn’t come directly from them but was given to a company that funds world wide research. The other company gave it to China.”


Which is a funding laundering operation.

This documentary clarifies it for all.

I couldn’t get into your video, but I have some numbers for you to consider.

Eco-Health Alliance in China didn’t start their work until 2003. Until the end of 2002, when scores of people in China began falling ill with a mysterious respiratory infection, SARS-CoV was a completely unknown virus. And yet, there have been no outbreaks of SARS since 2003. Eco Health determined the spreading in China of SARS was accomplished from the horseshoe bats. They also determined that what makes SARS of particular threat is that, along with its close relative Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), it is the only pathogen on the World Health Organization’s R&D Blueprint list of priority diseases which could be spread from human to human respiratorily.

For a company that’s doing a funding laundry operation, they are pretty busy and the determinations they have made have stood up to time.

Additionally, Politico reported on April 27 that the National Institutes of Health would be revoking grants given to New York–based nonprofit organization EcoHealth Alliance in 2019, including funds for 2020 that the nonprofit now has to return.

But in reality, the grants appear to have nothing to do with the coronavirus pandemic. In fact, they were awarded after a different kind of coronavirus — SARS — spread across the world in 2003. The NIH also didn’t give the funds directly to the Wuhan Institute, instead awarding them to EcoHealth Alliance, which invests in health research globally. The money helped support research that led to 20 research papers on coronaviruses published over the six years, according to the NIH. It’s not clear whether Fauci was personally involved in the grants in any way.

Hear that Pennsylvania? Hear that New Mexico? A lot of your jobs and your state’s prosperity depends on Fracking. That one issue alone would cast a lot of you into unemployment and would blow a huge hole in your state’s budgets.

“A Biden-Harris presidency would largely end oil and gas production”

—————————

It would also mean the end of all American white collar STEM jobs. The Cheap Indian Labor Express will get huge gains.

USTechWorkers: “Votes for higher immigration levels, which Harris has cast more than 50 times in her (Harris’s) relatively brief Senate career, mean that more employment-authorized workers will be available to employers... Americans risk, at best, stagnant wages...”
