On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hallie Jackson Reports,” White House National Climate Adviser Gina McCarthy responded to concerns that increased regulations will cause increased gas and oil prices by stating “There’s a place for” regulation and “We’re going to use it.” McCarthy also touted hearings with oil executives on Capitol Hill as “a day of reckoning” for the oil and gas industry.
Host Hallie Jackson asked, “[T]hat big oil hearing on Capitol Hill, significant, frankly, historic that they’re all coming together. There’s this sort of — argument that you’ve heard some Republicans make that more regulations could lead to higher gas and oil prices, etc. I wonder how you respond to that and your reaction to what you have been able to see so far related to this hearing that is still ongoing, by the way.”
McCarthy responded, “Yeah, well, this is basically a day of reckoning, I think, for the oil and gas sector. Because for many decades, they denied climate change. And now that we’re, every day, seeing the wildfires, the droughts, the floods, the heat stress, people are no longer listening to that or tolerating it. So, they can’t get away with that anymore. They have to get serious about delivering clean energy and electricity to the people in this country, and they have to stop with the deception and move into this decade and help us make the transition to clean energy so that we can win the 21st century here. So, there’s no more hiding climate change. There’s no more climate deniers. This is just about who wins the future, and whoever addresses climate in the smartest way, which we intend to do, is going to be the big winner.”

Jackson then asked, “So, to Republicans who argue, hey, more regulations could mean consumers, Americans pay more on stuff, you say?”
McCarthy answered, “Well, what I would say is there’s room for regulation. But this package, this framework that the president is looking at is all about investments. It’s not about penalties. It’s all about how we use our economic muscle to move forward and, again, win the jobs of today and the jobs of the future. So, they can talk about regulation all they want. There’s a place for it. We’re going to use it. Because there’s opportunities that can’t be captured otherwise. But right now, if you look at this framework, you don’t see regulations and rules. You see opportunity after opportunity.”
Feel "penalized" yet? IOW. American citizens can ESAD for all they care. Hey trespassers, here's $450,000 for YOUR pain and suffering. But, as long as it isn't Trump or anything affiliated with him or his supporters, it's all acceptable to them.
Election Day will be yours b!tch..................
Invest in oil, nat gas and commodities now to pay for the increases you will see in all three.
Pain is coming, but that is your workaround.
My nat gas mineral rights payments on two gas wells have gone from $200 a month to $700 a month this year.
The Marxists hate energy producers more than they hate the Taliban.
As a direct result of Policy in DC and in Brussels, Natural Gas has skyrocketed in price and is in short supply. Every day we see another Fertilizer Plant shut down. England. Netherlands. Egypt. China. China announced last week they will no longer export ANY fertilizer.
Since 1/2 of 3rd World Agriculture dependent upon IMPORTED FERTILIZER, this will lead directly to decreasing yields. Next year’s harvest will be bad. The following year’s harvest will be Catastrophic.
100 Million Poor Children Will Starve because... Green.
“seeing the wildfires, the droughts, the floods, the heat stress”
Isn’t it interesting that after last weekend’s rather large storm here in CA, we haven’t heard a peep from Sleaze Newsom or any of his fellow travelers about Climate Change?
Squaw Valley - er, “Palisades” - is opening today, for like the first time in decades. The water district people in Sonoma and Marin counties waxing poetic about how great the storm was that it saturated the ground, so now any further rain will easily fill reservoirs.
Two weeks ago all they could do was wail about how parched we were all gonna be and maybe it would NEVER rain again...cuz CLIMATE CHANGE!
And then Mama Nature decided to make fun of them.
Funny that.
If it harms Americans it’s a politician’s best friend
As long as it isn’t Trump or anything affiliated with him, THEY find ANYTHING acceptable. Hundred million kids is a bump in the road of lowering the population to 500 million world wide. Engineering Malthusian predictions.
Sorry to break the news to you, but election day is no longer a Day of Reckoning. Is a day of fraud, cheating, and a Potemkin front, pretending democracy but actually upholding tyranny. If voting actually worked against the Deep State, they would outlaw it.
Aint this the same skank that was responsible for the criminal mine hazard incident up in Co during Obastards term?
Like the phony town in Blazing Saddles but NOT funny at all.
Typical. Not a thing they do will lower price at pump.
True
Thanx never Trumpers...thanx allot.
As I recall, Obama had similar reckoning. He would increase the price of gasoline and diesel until people were begging for electric vehicles - or words to that affect!
The EPA put the energy companies (King Coal, at the time and later nukes ... ) through literal hell demanding clean and scrubbed energy and the companies complied.
The coal we burned was almost transparent it was so clean.
The air we breathe is virtually contaminant free from energy generation.
The entire climate whack job is simply a power play ... nothing more nor less.
Translation: We need to get this commie monster 'infrastructure' passed so we'll lie about 'opportunities'. When it's passed we'll have the money and power to put the screws to anyone and any group trying to stand up to us... Big controlling commie penalties for energy are just the beginning.
Anything the government tries to control turns to crap,
with unintended consequences and collateral damage.
Look at Venezuela for example, !!
we are in the process of becoming Venezuela !
She IS a bitch!
Like there have never been droughts before, or wildfires, or hurricanes, or floods, or heatwaves, etc.
I wish I were a CEO of an oil company. I would have had great fun telling off these aholes on Crapital Hill!
“Climate change” is just a hoax to impose communism and destroy capitalism.
