Supports fracking & Keystone pipeline

I'm glad to see that President Obama has become vocally supportive of natural gas exploration, and by extension fracking. This technology has resulted in lower energy prices, more jobs, and much less carbon dioxide emission. Natural-gas-fired power plans emit half of much as coal-fired ones, according to the EPA. The Department of energy has found that since 2008, the cost of natural gas delivered to homes is 20% cheaper. Employment in oil and gas extraction have expanded by 18% during that same period, with several times more jobs created in industries that support this growth.

Finishing the Keystone pipeline is also critical to our nation's long-term energy plan. It will allow us to efficiently import oil from Canada and use our refineries to bring that oil to market. Not only will this help reduce gas prices, it will decrease our oil imports from Venezuelan and other unstable countries.

Human-caused "climate change" is merely an elite narrative

In the wake of the post-1960s seismic moral and social realignment, no breakthrough concerning matters such as food production was likely to have much effect on the overpopulation storyline. Later elite narratives, such as human-caused "climate change," have reinforced the overpopulation narrative, delaying or obscuring serious debate over depopulation across the developed world.
