Bob McDermott on Energy & Oil

 

 


Congress is unable to control the climate

Q: What laws should Congress pass to mitigate the effects of sea-level rise and climate change?

A: Congress, nor anyone else, is unable to control the climate. The climate is directly impacted by the sun. How do you explain that Ewa Beach was once underwater? It is a money grab, has your electric bill gone down 1 penny per kilowatt hour, despite the massive spending on "Free, green, abundant renewable energy"? No, we see rolling black outs in 2024 because the lefties wanted to shut down the cheapest electric plant we had that ran on coal; All while China produces 1.5 new coal plants per week. Paris Climate accord, we give China $13 Billion that we BORROW in the bond market, and then the US citizen (you) pays it back. What???

I have 18 panels on my roof because solar makes sense

Q: Is the U.S. on the right path when it comes to mitigating climate change and growing renewable energy production?

A: First, I have 48 solar panels on my roof as it makes financial sense. I want clean air, water and land. However, man cannot control the climate, if so, we should pass a law against hurricanes! Foolishness. North America was once covered with glaciers, yet they melted and the Earth warmed with no SUVs around, how is that possible? Akua is in charge.

I want cheap abundant energy that all Americans can access

The Democrats declared a war of fossil fuel and the American people lost I want cheap abundant energy that all Americans can access. The night Joe Biden got elected gas futures went through the roof. Biden reentered the United States in the Paris Agreement, revoked the Keystone XL pipeline's permit and ordering a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal land and water areas created a chilling affect on the oil industry directly driving prices through the roof!
