Hey Barkey, how about allowing drilling on fed lands and offshore, and more pipelines to help Europe?

From superpower to world’s scold within one generation.

Next step, civil discord. Last stop, dissolution.

And if Europe called on us to wean ourselves off of Canadian oil could we do it?

A pipeline to Europe? That'd be a neat trick.

Good point. I am reminded of Jimmy Carter, clad in a sweater, sitting next to the fireplace and speaking of a “national malaise”.

I shall now call the robust American energy policy.

The Cruz Palin doctrine.

All forms if American energy make for a safer world.

Ubama’s Doctrine of ogletree Soviet population control does work when people like Vladimir Putin don’t play your stupid game

This is good reason for encouraging mexican shale gas/oil production. the eagle ford formation just keeps going south of the border.

as well this makes the argument for the big pipeline from canada more compelling—as that fuel would go to europe.

Talk is cheap. So Dems/Obama/EPA should issue new natgas export permits. Permits to build new export facilities. They are  blocking these and will continue to do so. Dems have no intention of helping Europe diversify it's natgas sources

Dems will say what has been focus group tested to "resonate" with lo-info voters. So they come out with this BS that Europe should find other natgas sources. Dems have no intention of doing anything to help Europe on this

The State Department would have Europe reduce their dependence on natural gas...rely instead on rainbows as unicorn farts are also carbon based.
