Nothing says “irresponsible” more than drilling off our pristine
coastlines, quickly approving the XL Pipeline and banning fracking regulation
of our public/tribal lands.
The XL Pipeline’s one intended purpose is to export our own
supply of oil out of the U.S. for Big Oil profits. It could destroy of our
water supply or return us to Middle Eastern dependence on oil, but who cares
right?
Oh, and say goodbye to those low natural gas prices to heat
our homes. Republicans want to provide quick approval to export more of that
too.
Republicans also want to sell natural gas and oil to
terrorists and the countries that harbor them.
In what would appear too many as a political death wish agenda
is really a winning platform that might put Republicans in control of the
Senate. None of this is hyperbole. Read for yourself the new Republican Energy plan from Roll Call endorsed by our Representatives:
REPUBLICAN ENERGY PACKAGE: The House approved a package (HR 2) of 19 GOP-drafted energy bills that previously cleared the House as strand-alone measures before faltering in the Democratic-controlled Senate in the face of environmental concerns and other objections. In part, the bills would expand offshore drilling for oil and natural gas, require speedy administration approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, expedite Department of Energy approvals of applications for exporting liquefied natural gas and prohibit federal regulation on federal and tribal lands of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
Higher gas prices at the pump and rising energy costs to
heat our homes? Yes say Paul Ryan, James Sensenbrenner, Tom Petri, Sean Duffy
and Reid Ribble. Heck, any rise in natural gas would mean more drilling, and higher
pump prices are always blamed on the Democratic President.
OIL EXPORTS TO TERRORISM-ENABLERS: The House on Thursday defeated a Democratic motion that sought to amend HR 2 (above) so that it would “prohibit U.S. oil exports to any country, company or individual that supports or harbors terrorist organizations, including ISIS or al Qaeda.”
Voting no to the Democratic amendment, and yes to send our energy recources to terrorist; Ryan,
Sensenbrenner, Petri, Duffy, and Ribble. Your on the record now.
