The Far Left is Committed to Fighting Everyone, Even Obama

On the campaign trail and in debates, Democratic presidential candidates are always quick to praise President Obama, often trying to associate themselves with him as much as possible. But, there’s one area where they all differ from him drastically. “The natural gas boom has led to cleaner power, and greater energy independence….Natural gas isn’t just appearing magically…. We’re encouraging it and working with the industry.” This statement was not made by President Trump, but by former President Obama. Democratic presidential candidates appear to be blind to this aspect of Obama’s policy. As Forbes reports: In particular, President Obama supported natural gas as an essential…

New Yorkers Can Expect Gas Shortages to Get Worse as Prices Continue to Rise

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo swiftly points the finger at state utilities once the backlash of his own bad decisions on natural gas prevents his constituents’ access to affordable and efficient energy. According to the New York Post, members of the state’s Public Service Commission warned of the effects Cuomo’s decisions would have on the energy supply: “The most important thing is to keep the lights on,” said Burman, who emphasized the state needs to rely on a variety of energy sources before transitioning to cleaner, renewable energy sources such as solar, wind and thermal. “Those who say ‘no new pipelines’ should…

Raising The Stakes For Good Steak

The California Restaurant Association is suing the city of Berkeley over a natural gas ban which is set to take place at the beginning of next year.  Bloomberg reports: “The California Restaurant Association is warning that the flame-seared meat and charred vegetables that foodies have grown so accustomed to ordering will become a thing of the past in Berkeley, California, which in July became the first city in America to end new gas hook-ups in an effort to curb global-warming emissions.

Climate Activists Are Now On A Warpath Against … Gas Stoves?

Thirteen cities and one country in California have put in place zoning codes encouraging or requiring all-electric new constructions, in hopes to move toward an all-out ban on gas prohibiting gas lines to be run in any new construction. Yes, that means no more gas stoves. Karen Harbert, American Gas Association President and CEO said “The idea that denying access to natural gas in new homes is necessary to meet emissions reductions goals is false. In fact, denying access to natural gas could make the meeting emissions goals harder and more expensive.” USA Today reports: A study by AGA released…

President Trump Stands Up for Pennsylvania Energy

President Trump is in Pennsylvania today to stand up for energy workers. How? He is fighting for a pipeline that would be a major economic boon to the region. The Associated Press reports Trump will speak about the importance of natural gas, an industry that has been put in the crosshairs of liberals despite the countless Americans it employs directly and indirectly. Not to mention, our country’s infrastructure fundamentally relies on the valuable energy source. From the AP: For a second time in three months, President Donald Trump is headed to Pennsylvania to promote his support for the natural gas…

Are New Mexico’s Leaders Looking to Import California’s Natural Gas Ban?

New Mexico has already followed California down the radical environmental road of expensive renewable mandates and costly vehicle emissions. Are there any California ideas New Mexico’s leaders won’t embrace? That’s the question on the mind of many in the Land of Enchantment after a recent story in the Washington Times. While there are many interesting points about Governor Lujan Grisham and her dealings with the energy industry, there is one part of the article that stands out. Not only is New Mexico part of the 25-state U.S. Climate Alliance, but state officials participated in an off-the-record blue-state conference in July…

More California Cities Want To Emulate Berkeley’s Natural Gas Ban

Last month we told you about Berkeley, California’s ridiculous plan to ban natural gas. In July, Berkeley became the first city in America to “kick natural gas out of homes and businesses.” Under a new law passed by the city, natural gas would be banned from most new homes and businesses, including restaurants that use natural gas for stoves. We explained that this was eco-madness.  For people and restaurants, there are major advantages to gas cooking, including finer temperature control, quicker temperature response times, easy cleaning, and reliability when the power goes out. Gas heating is typically “half the price of electric heating.” Now, it seems,…

REPORT: 60 California Cities Now Considering Natural Gas Bans

Last week, we told you how Berkeley, California became the first city in America to “kick natural gas out of homes and businesses.” Under a new law passed by the city, natural gas will be banned from most new homes and businesses, including restaurants that use natural gas for stoves. Environmentalists lauded the move, which was predictable for a city that has long been a hotbed of far-left extremism. The Sierra Club even called the ban a “roadmap for other counties and cities across the country to follow.” Well, it unfortunately appears that other California cities are listening. Inside Climate News, a…

WSJ: Solar and Wind Need A “Reality Check”

Eco-activists like to say that solar and wind can power America on their own. They propose energy mandates saying you must use energy sources like these, and that states must cease using proven energy sources like oil and natural gas. They propose dangerous policies like the “Green New Deal” that would force a similar transition on the federal level. But is the rhetoric of the eco-left divorced from reality? The data says unequivocally “yes.” Robert Bryce, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, explains in the Wall Street Journal that “despite years of federal subsidies, wind and solar are being trounced by…
