We should mine baby mine coal and both use it for our power and export it.
We should drill baby drill for natural gas and both use it for ourselves and export it.
We should mine baby mine minerals (including ones good for EV's and such) and both use them for ourselves and export them.
The Dims always tell us to pick one side or the other (i.e. coal or solar, ICE cars or EV's, etc.) to keep us polarized. Our response as conservatives is that the government ain't got no business even defining the "sides" and should let the free market do the work to provide everybody what they want. And if we do that with our natural resources as well, including export them, we'll increase our standing all over the world among the various technologies and whatever they want. If they want our oil they'll have to pay for it and be nice. Same if they want our coal or cobalt or lithium or anything else.
It’s insanity what is happening with FedGov regulation of cars right now, and it’s totally under the radar for most.
