Still, the White House sent out a press release highlighting the report on Monday. Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan of Alaska told reporters at CERAWeek that Republican dominated Washington has transformed the federal government from being “basically hostile” to oil and gas under President Obama to actively supporting the industry’s growth. (In reality, Obama promoted natural gas as part of an “all of the above” energy strategy and his signature climate change regulation would have benefited the fossil fuel.)
Republicans said the federal government was “basically hostile” to oil and gas under President Obama
Time does not refute that. They simply say Obama promoted natural gas as part of his regulatory strategy.
Apples and fruitcakes.
The Obama administration was clearly hostile to fossil fuels. Maybe not all of them, all of the time. But clearly hostile.
To claim they were not, because of a couple of limited exceptions is dishonest.
But it is Time, after all.
Oh yes, Obama supported the gas industry, that is why the swamp creatures at the EPA came up with all those new regulations that would help.
The only thing of note he did to help was allow exports.
