Josh Hawley on Energy & Oil

 

 


AdWatch: Don't ban gas and diesel trucks

Sen. Josh Hawley criticized Lucas Kunce over his call to eliminate the country's reliance on fossil fuels. "If you drive a pickup truck, if you drive a tractor, if you drive a trailer or a combine," Hawley said. "Man, you just go and turn in your keys right now to Lucas Kunce, because he wants to shut it all down." It was a continuation of a claim Hawley made in his first attack ad on Kunce--that his opponent wanted to ban all gas and diesel trucks from the roads in Missouri. Kunce's campaign--which immediately responded with old photos of Kunce in pickup trucks during his military service--called the attack false.

Hawley's claim relies on an essay Kunce wrote in the American Prospect in 2021. "For our national security, we must adopt an industrial policy to rapidly and fully decarbonize our energy and transportation sectors," Kunce wrote. "We need to ditch all fossil fuels, not just oil, the same way we ditched whale oil for petroleum in the late 1800s."

Open up American energy production full throttle

Open up American energy production full throttle. I noticed that rednecks and roughnecks get a lot of bad press these days. Here's the truth. Rednecks and roughnecks are the backbone of the American economy. it is time to allow the strong American worker to go out and start drilling for oil, to start exploring for natural gas, to start fracking again. Let them do what we do best. Show America, show the world the strength of this nation. put America back to work. open up American energy.

Oppose the job-killing climate agenda

Q: Consider climate change a critical threat? Limit or tax greenhouse gas production?

Josh Hawley (R): No. Criticized Obama's "job-killing `climate agenda'" and "climate change crusade." Backed lawsuit against Obama Clean Power Plan.

Claire McCaskill (D): Yes, but asked for more time for coal plants to implement Obama Clean Power Plan, while opposing its repeal. Opposed carbon tax but supports US participation in Paris Climate Accord.

Q: Support government subsidies for renewable energy?

Josh Hawley (R): Unknown.

Claire McCaskill (D): Yes. Supports alternative energy subsidies, but also recognizes Missouri's dependence on coal and supported Keystone Pipeline.

Clean Power Plan hurts economy by raising energy prices

Trump signed an executive order dismantling the plan his predecessor put into effect in 2015. The Clean Power Plan was meant to reduce CO2 emissions, which many climate scientists say contribute to man-made global warming, from power plants. Attorney General Josh Hawley sees it as a victory for Missouri. Hawley said the Clean Power Plan hurt Missouri by installing a massive network of regulations that would have driven energy prices up in Missouri by double digits.

Dismantle Obama-era network of energy regulations

President Trump signed an executive order dismantling the plan that President Obama put into effect in 2015. The Clean Power Plan was meant to reduce CO2 emissions, which many climate scientists say contribute to man-made global warming, from power plants. Trump's action marked a step back from the environmentally conscious administration of Obama. However, Attorney General Josh Hawley sees it as a victory for Missouri.

Hawley said the Clean Power Plan hurt Missouri by installing a massive network of regulations that would have driven energy prices up in Missouri by double digits. Missouri challenged the regulations in federal court as unconstitutional. "This is a major win for the people of Missouri," Hawley said. "As we have long argued and as legal experts from across the political spectrum have recognized, these regulations are flatly unconstitutional. We fought these job-killing regulations in court and soon they will be gone. Relief is on the way for Missouri families."
