Democrats and all the other lefty extremist are never satisfied. It appears they have succeeded in destroying the coal industry. Not at all satisfied with destroying that part of our economy they will now turn their attention to the oil and gas industry. I guess the next thing we will see will be windmills and solar panels atop cars and trucks. In obama's America this looks just right. This is a very clear picture of the left's insanity. And people wonder why this so called economic recovery is so stagnant.

From Stephen Moore a well respected economist.

Democrats intensify their economic suicide mission.

Why do donors give money to the Sierra Club? Are they trying to strangle the American economy?

The liberal green group is celebrating its “victory” of putting America’s major coal producers out of business — to say nothing of the tens of thousands of miners placed in unemployment lines. Several thousand more mining jobs were lost last month. ‎

Now the Sierra Club wants to similarly bury the oil and gas industry.

Here is how the Sierra Club spokeswoman, Lena Moffit, explains the strategy: “We have moved to a very clear and firm and vehement position of opposing gas. We oppose any new gas-fired power plants. We also have a policy opposing fracking.”

That’s an amazing admission given that natural gas is a clean burning fuel that is reducing greenhouse gas emissions and real pollutants too. Then she admitted:‎ “We are doing everything we can to bring the same expertise that we brought to taking down the coal industry and coal-fired power in this country to taking on gas in the same way… to ensure that we’re moving to a 100% clean energy future.”


This means no oil, gas, or coal. Right now we get about three-quarters of our electricity from gas and coal and most of our transportation fuels come from oil. Do they want us to use bicycles?

It’s not just the environmentalists who are advancing this lunatic agenda. The three most prominent Democrats in America aren’t far behind in this maniacal mindset of killing domestic industries. President Obama says we have to shift to a “keep it in the ground” strategy when it comes to all fossil fuels. Bernie Sanders is the sponsor of a Senate bill that would effectively ban all oil and gas drilling on federal lands.

Hillary Clinton has announced that global warming is “the defining issue of our time” and hopes for a future when there is no drilling for oil and gas. This would end America’s access to an estimated $50 trillion of energy resources.

But think about this: the oil and gas industry is responsible for 10 million jobs and more than $1 trillion American output every year. End oil and gas production and you crush all of this economic output. Do they care?

Certainly they show no remorse over the devastation of the coal industry.

By the way, the workers the greens want to throw out of work are truckers, construction workers, petroleum engineers, welders, pipefitters, geologists, and many other hardhat workers. Many if not most are union members.

Why are the industrial unions not in full scale revolt against the greens like the Sierra Club and billionaire Tom Steyer, who are out to give them pink slips?

Of course the make-believe retort is that we will transition to windmills and solar panels. In other words, we will shift back to the energy sources of the Middle Ages. Windmills will power our steel plants. Solar energy will electrify our factories and homes — except when the sun doesn’t shine. Germany thought it could “go green” and that strategy has raised energy prices and put the hurt to its manufacturing industries.

The lost energy employment will never be replaced with so-called “green jobs.” We already fell for that scam at the start of the Obama administration.

The greens are out to get the blue collar American workers. Obama, Hillary, and Bernie are willing accomplices to the economic homicide. Their religious fervor to stop global warming at all costs means they are willing to sacrifice the jobs of millions of American workers. So much for the socialist vision of a workers’ paradise.

Insanity is the best way to describe these left wing loons. The problem is these idiots actually believe that global warming crap.

Do you dispute the accummulated scientific facts concerning global warming. Are you too old to be affected, but what about you great-great-great grandchildren?

Denifite proof that Global Warming is real.

Evidently you are unaware of the copious literature on the scientific evidence. It is not hard to find. For starters cimpare the extent of land mass glaciers over the past 150 years and ask where did the heat come from. Then review the history of carbon-based fuels over the same period, but stretching backwards further to take account for the Statistical Mechanics that governs cause-effect - it is a matter of kinetics.

My injection of humor does not mean I disagree.

And now additional scientific information needs to be included in the "global warming" argument. Who's right?

I'm sure the libturds will say it's a bogus report on Fox News. You know the left, if they didn't say it it's not true.
