Daniel Cameron on Energy & Oil

 

 


Spearheaded efforts to overturn market-distorting EV mandate

Daniel's actions and accomplishments as Attorney General align with President Trump's America First priorities. As Attorney General, Daniel stood as a bulwark against the Green New Deal. He spearheaded one of the nation's first comprehensive efforts to overturn Joe Biden's market-distorting EV mandate.

Reducing fossil fuel production would cause state to suffer

Five Republicans who hold office wrote a letter to a credit rating agency criticizing it for including environmental, social and governance [ESG] factors in deciding credit worthiness for states.

Treasurer Allison Ball, Auditor Mike Harmon, Secretary of State Michael Adams, Ag Commissioner Ryan Quarles and Attorney General Daniel Cameron signed the two-page letter to S&P Global Ratings and called including such factors in their credit ratings "unnecessarily subjective and political judgments" that may lead to changes based on political whims.

Incorporating ESG factors in credit ratings could hurt a state like Kentucky, where producing fossil fuels is one of the state's "signature industries."

"A reduction in coal, oil and gas production would cause increased unemployment, higher fuel costs and a decrease in overall tax revenue, thereby negatively impacting Kentucky's overall creditworthiness and causing undue hardship and suffering for the people of this state," the letter stated.

Opposes Biden elevating "green" priorities, attacking coal

Rather than looking out for American families, the President has elevated the "green" priorities of a few at the expense of many. We sued the President to stop the cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline. We obtained an injunction stopping him from increasing the cost of fossil fuel energy. We opposed his efforts to exploit air quality standards as a method for attacking coal. We are actively trying to stop the EPA's attempts to overregulate coal and coal-fired plants out of existence.
