Hydraulic Fracturing

Eli,

From the EIA today:


Natural gas has about 1/2 the carbon emissions as coal and also emits few SOx andNOx. Because gas has overtaken coal carbon and other emissions from the electricity power generation sector has declined.
Also from EIA


 Before the Dems became the party of anti-semites and lunatics they supported hydraulic fracturing, the reason why natural gas has overtaken coal.

U.S. crude oil production grew 17% in 2018, surpassing the previous record in 1970

Eli,

Tom Wicker in the NY Times, March 2, 1977.



Today's article from the EIA
U.S. crude oil production grew 17% in 2018, surpassing the previous record in 1970

 " EIA projects that U.S. crude oil production will continue to grow in 2019 and 2020, averaging 12.3 million b/d and 13.0 million b/d, respectively."

Our energy policy, including climate change, is based on a fallacious premise that oil and gas will become unavailable. The opposite is true as long as prices are allowed to clear.

Bill

PS. It's all due to hydraulic fracturing, one of the demons of the Left.

Democrats Embrace Racism

Eli,

‘It Just Went Poof’: The Strange Aftermath of Virginia’s Cascade of Political Scandals, from the NY Times points out Ralph Northam is still governor of Virginia, Justin Fairfax is still Lt. Gov. and Mark Herring is still Attorney General.

Ben Tribbett Democratic strategist is quoted:

"Don’t apologize, move on, and everybody will talk about something else next week,” is how Ben Tribbett, a Democratic strategist, described it. “Maybe we’ve been doing it wrong over the last 100 years.”

Betsy Carr, a VA delegate:

Betsy Carr, a Democratic delegate, said shortly after stepping off the stage last week with Mr. Northam that voters “want to move on.” “They want positive things to happen, they’re concerned about the elections,” she said.

and from the chairman of the Prince Edward County Democratic Party.

“Winning is important,” said Taikein Cooper, the 30-year-old chairman of the Prince Edward County Democratic Party, “but we also have to have some morals.”

For a few years now the Democratic Media complex has accused anyone of supporting anything about Donald Trump as being "complicit." I've taken particular offense at this because complicit means involved in a crime. Cavalierly accusing someone of abetting a crime, without evidence, without describing what the crime is, is horrid and odious.

By that same logic anyone who still supports the Democrats now, is complicit in racism and misogyny and anti-semitism.
