The 2020 Democratic presidential field is in near unanimous agreement that fracking has to be banned or at least regulated to death over time. It plays well to the party’s base, especially its green fringe. It’s also an endorsement of recession.
Joe Biden, currently atop the Democratic primary polls, recently said he would “love to” ban fracking “right now,” and would also “love to make sure we can’t use any oil or gas, period,” reports Common Dreams, a website that caters to leftist and socialist devotees.
But the decelerated Delawarean’s plan is to “transition away from” fracking rather than killing it all at once. So put him in the “slow death” category among Democrat candidates. Meanwhile, in the summary execution category we find Sens. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and former Indianapolis Mayor Pete Buttigieg. Warren even said that on the day she is inaugurated, “I will ban fracking — everywhere.”
“If the U.S. imposed a fracking ban, the supply disruption would trigger the biggest oil and natural gas price spikes in history — almost certainly by more than 200% — which would, in turn, tip the world into recession,” Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow Mark Mills wrote last month in a policy brief.
While a fracking ban would eliminate only 7% of global oil and 17% of the gas supply, he says, “in a global commodity market … changes of even 1%–2% in the supply/demand balance trigger huge price swings.”
Triggering A Recession Tops The Dems’ Presidential Agendas
This is what your country could look like under Democrat control. Imagine if Trump does lose, the Democrats keep the House, and takes leadership of the Senate.
Under Trump, we are enjoying the best economy in over a half-century. Much of it is due to moderate energy prices, because normally in such an economy, our fuel prices would be sky high. Thanks to fracking, not only are they reasonable, but we are also exporting energy to the rest of the world.
While I can't give President Trump credit for our good fortunes when it comes to energy costs, I can give him credit for his support.
The left here have posted topics such as many Americans can't afford a $1,000 emergency cost, people not able to afford housing, homelessness on a rise. But doubling the cost of our energy would put many more Americans in those situations.
Vote Republican, because the country can't afford Democrats.
