What do y'all think of this?
He is trying to cut the GOP off at the pass by muting their criticism of his energy policies. Though he says the great majority of NG is produced on private land, but he wants to regulate as much as possible of any NG produced.
We are from the feral gummit and are here to help you.
Clean, cheap natural gas energy is not a good thing for 0bama’s buddies that build windmills and solar panels.
“Does he really think that he has the bulk of the military, law enforcement and an armed citizenry behind him?”
I can tell you about what is happening in my small community: the Democratic Party Headquarters is located in the Longshoremen’s Union Hall. Why? The reason escapes me, unless they expect to be managing massive protests, work stoppages and riot coordination from that building!
The people that build those things don’t care if they make a profit or not. They are money laundering, so it doesn’t matter to them.
No doubt Obama is attempting to Nationalize and further devastate the Oil and Natural Gas Industry by further regulation which will only kill the little oil and gas production we now have in the US and raise prices even beyond the current record price levels.
For starters, I think Natural Gas prices have bottomed.
Second, lots of folks in red states heat with Natural Gas.
Third, I think it could be a Fort Sumpter moment. There is a tremendous amount of natural gas produced with oil (oil being the primary objective). Regulate the gas which is a byproduct of oil production, and it effectively regulates oil production.
Most of the oil and Gas producing states have their own regulations and don't need nor desire such multiagency Federal meddling in their State economies.
“There is established an Interagency Working Group to Support Safe and Responsible Development of Unconventional Domestic Natural Gas Resources (Working Group), to be chaired by the Director of the Domestic Policy Council, or a designated representative.”
Great - another bureaucracy to get in the way!
Propane as a vehicle fuel will not work at -30C or -22F, it stays liquid. School buses in Canada cannot operate at that temperature on propane, and the schools using it cancel.
Battery operated or electric cars freeze up also in cold temperatures. Running the heater on an electric car or hybrid drains the battery.
Natural gas might have a limited role as an alternative vehicle fuel but neither it nor electric can replace oil or energy out put for cold winter weather driving.
Obama has no climatic clue as to what he is talking about. Given he is recently from Illinois, he should know better. But then if you ride in a limmo, you probably let peasants worry about such things.
American Thinker had a great article on this and tied it Brightsource Solar yanking its IPO. There’s no appetite in the equities market for expensive “alternative” energy. In other words, there’s no market for their products. Therefore, Obastard must artificially raise fossil fuel prices way above their natural levels via EO. The reasons proffered for this EO are a smokescreen — it’s just a ploy to double the price of NG to make solar and wind “competitive.”
We are so screwed if this gang wins another term.

He's talking about regs on Public Lands only which is nothing new
He thinks this is the same gas we use in our cars...That's what it appears to say?????
My bud has land in the Marcellus shale fields and finally applied to be part of the growth of this field. But...too late...they stopped taking leases near him. He’s really ticked now...but he was listening to all the bad news....and scr**** himself.
The price was just coming down...
No, it isn’t. He’s going to throw legal roadblocks/impediments in front of every company exploring/extracting NG and slow it to a crawl, in favor of his corrupt, criminal “green energy” crap scams.
The price “will necessarily rise”, just as electricity is doing, from his shutting down scores of coal-fired power plants, mainly in the northeast. He’s just getting started on the NG industry.
If he gets another 4yrs, he’ll gut the NG industry, as he’s doing to the petroleum and coal industries, crippling America to death!
Once you cease total control over an industry using the illusion that you are the to “help it” (so there are no objectors to the powers obtained), then you can crush it later.
cease = seaze. (wow)
