WASHINGTON, D.C. – A new report by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Global Energy Institute (GEI) found that the anti-energy “Keep it in the Ground” (KIITG) movement has prevented at least $91.9 billion in domestic economic activity and eliminated nearly 730,000 job opportunities. In addition, federal, state, and local governments have missed out on more than $20 billion in tax revenue. The report, “Infrastructure Lost: Why America Cannot Afford To ‘Keep It In the Ground,’” quantifies the impacts of delayed and cancelled energy infrastructure projects that would enhance American consumers’ access to abundant, affordable energy and provide hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs. In recent years, KIITG activists have worked to derail these projects by waging countless lawsuits, protests and even vandalizing private property with the goal of delaying or outright killing projects. “The anti-energy movement’s opposition to vital energy infrastructure comes with a real cost: lost job opportunities and billions in prevented domestic economic activity,” said Karen Harbert, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber’s Global Energy Institute. “America’s newfound status as a global energy superpower has created opportunities here at home and around the world, but in order to harness our abundant natural resources and innovation, we must have adequate infrastructure. Unfortunately, a small but vocal group of activists is waging fights against these projects around the nation. Our new report demonstrates just how damaging that is to families, consumers, and American workers.”
These radical environmentalists are waging economic war against the United States. The Constitution calls that treason.
As trump said last week....2 buck gas is your tax break
“Oil prices getting lower. Great! Like a big Tax Cut for America and the World. Enjoy! $54, was just $82. Thank you to Saudi Arabia, but let’s go lower!”
And CHT slurps it up like he is a false idol and menstral babbles like the idiot he is.....LOLOLOL
The driving force behind nearly all of the controversies that have bedeviled his administration is his personality, not his ideology.

As we celebrate Christmastime amid an unnecessary and indefinite government shutdown and the worst December for the stock market since 1931, I’m reminded once again of my longstanding prediction: The Trump presidency will end poorly because character is destiny.
I’ve said it so often, I occasionally need to be reminded that I didn’t coin the phrase. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus did, when he observed “ethos anthropoi daimon,” most often translated as “man’s character is his fate.”
Many of the liberal critics shrieking about the betrayal of the Kurds implicit in his decision to withdraw from Syria would be applauding if a President Clinton had made the same decision. And many of the conservatives celebrating the move would be condemning it.
But his refusal to listen to advisors; his inability to bite his tongue; his demonization and belittling of senators who vote for his agenda; his rants against the 1st Amendment; his praise for dictators and insults for allies; his need to create new controversies to eclipse old ones; and his inexhaustible capacity to lie and fabricate history: All this springs from his nature.
Over the weekend, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie offered an odd defense of the president. He’s like a “72-year-old relative,” Christie said on ABC’s “This Week.” “When people get older, they become more and more convinced of the fact that what they’re doing is the right thing.”
Christie has a point. But the reason Trump won’t change has little to do with age and everything to do with character.
I moved to Orange county California in 1987. Stage 3 smog alerts were common. They said that you should not go outside and breathe the air. I haven't seen anything like that for over 20 years. Despite there are far more cars driving around Los Angeles and the region.
Lead causes harm to children especially when inhaled.
The unintended benefits of reducing lead in gas..even cramps benefits....LOL.
A statistically significant correlation has been found between the usage rate of leaded gasoline and violent crime: the violent crime curve virtually tracks the lead exposure curve with a 22-year time lag.[60][81] After the ban on TEL, blood lead levels in US children dramatically decreased.[60]
Reduction in the average blood lead level is believed to have been a major cause for falling violent crime rates in the United States[82] and South Africa.[83] Researchers including Amherst College economist Jessica Wolpaw Reyes, Department of Housing and Urban Development consultant Rick Nevin, and Howard Mielke of Tulane University say that declining exposure to lead is responsible for an up to 56% decline in crime from 1992 to 2002.[84] Taking into consideration other factors that are believed to have increased crime rates over that period, Reyes found that the reduced exposure to lead led to an actual decline of 34% over that period.[85]

The Nixon movement needs to happen.

What does this have to do with our energy independence?
Your side said the same things when the government imposed a ban on lead in gasoline and imposed emissions regulations on the automobile industry.
The Nixon like President is losing his mind.
Scott is again trying to give Trump credit for something he had little or nothing to do with the decrease in the cost of crude oil prices.
Uncertainty about the President is driving the economy into the worst stock market sessions since 1931.
Don't care much about the lead but I do resent the ethanol mandate. It's ruined some perfectly good boat engines.
Don't care much about the lead
If you lived in a big city, you would care.....ask flint what they think about lead
I do resent the ethanol mandate
LOL....so what!!!!!

You're the dummy, dummy.
You're the dummy, dummy.
Stop talking about yourself cramps....Great come back again proving how far your head is stuck up trumps fat, old white ass!!!
What does the remove of lead in gasoline have to do with the Democrats mismanagement of Flint, MI water supply?
Roger is so angry.
Stage 3 alerts more common today.
"Smog has gotten worse for the second straight year, even though emissions are on the decline." LA times
2018 a record setting year.
Alky again finds a subject to be wrong about.
"CommonsenseDecember 26, 2018 at 6:36 AM

Nothing, Roger wanted to show his low is.
