This statement proves how too many Trump supporters live in denial.
Obama's "liberal industrial policy" was hardly that. When you look at Obama's popularity rating now vs. 8 years ago, it is the same minus progressive breakaways who partially left him because he was perceived as being far too friendly to gas & oil, which never saw better times domestically over the last generation than under Obama. Oil drilling in our country was put on the fast-track under this administration in a way that no one could have anticipated.
We now ship more oil out of the country every day than we take in for the first time in decades. This is a well-known fact now.
This administration also made a number of investments in renewable energy. A decade ago, renewable energy counted for less than 5% of all our electricity. Last year, it was nearly 13.5%. Anybody working in those industries will tell you it's been booming for a few years now.
There are areas where I can knock Obama, but not here. No other president in our republic has been an "all of the above" president on energy production as Obama has. Safe for a couple renewable malinvestments that didn't go anywhere, the renewable energy sector is just plain hot right now and we'd be wise to keep it going.
