Analysts see Harris walking ‘energy tightrope’ – Seeking votes in ‘must-win Rust Belt states like Pennsylvania’ while ‘more focus on environmental justice’

Axios – By Ben Geman

Excerpt: Harris ran to Biden’s left in her short primary campaign, but don’t assume a replay of 2019.

“The key question now is whether she reclaims her more progressive climate positions in hopes of energizing the progressive base and young voters or stays in the Biden energy and climate swim lanes in order to gain electoral advantage in must-win Rust Belt states like Pennsylvania,” RBC Capital Markets analysts said in a note.

They see Harris walking an “energy tightrope” to keep party unity and turn out voters, “particularly as there appears to be no path to winning the White House without the Keystone State.”

The intrigue: There’s not much to work with in the new campaign — yet.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Kamala Harris led the Biden Administration's $5,000,000,000 EV school bus program.
After 3 years, just 60 buses are on the road.
That's over $83,300,000 per bus.
A vote for Kamala is a vote to waste more tax dollars on failed green programs.

Sixty? Did they tow the rest of the buses, or did they just burn up where they were?

Yes, the woman is nuts. Simply enough, stop hydraulic fracturing, and in 5 years Natural Gas prices will be insane. That affects the Marcellus and Utica, putting the rust belt in a sharp bust. Not only there, but every 'shale' play out there, and, for that matter, old style vertical wells as well as the laterals. Wells in the early part of the Bakken play, in Richland County, MT, made 2-300 BOPD unfracced, but gave initial production of over 1000 BOPD after a frac.

That was in the beginning of the Bakken Boom, Other wells had Initial production of over 5,000 BOPDe, and ones I worked topped 3,000 BOPDe when put on line.

But without the ability to induce fractures in tight formations, which is what fraccing does (roughly two miles down, around these parts, and behind three strings of casing cemented in place, the last through the 'curve' of the well and into the pay zone), the oil will not come through low permeability rock at a rate which will make drilling and producing those wells profitable. When that happens, there will be little drilling here in the US, and the price of energy will go up--ESPECIALLY if the dollar loses reserve currency status, which it could if 'they' keep 'printing' them at the rate that has been done in the last 5 years. Then our dollars will have to be converted into some other currency to purchase oil we could have produced right here at home, if not for STUPID regulations.

If you think things are bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet!

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If you want to be paying


              $10  p e r      g a l l o n      f o r      g a s


then by all means, vote for Harris.  If you want a chance to freeze to death in winter, and die of heat exhaustion in summer, vote for Harris.  This is the message Trump needs to deliver.  Her mindset of ending carbon based fuels is absolutely delusional.

She wants to end drilling offshore, end drilling on federal lands, end fracking.


HOW WILL SHE REPLACE THOSE FUELS TO PROVIDE ENERGY FOR HEAT AND A/C?  HOW?

Pure idiocy.  She will make the Biden Idiocracy look brilliant by comparison.  From the pot into the fire with Harris.

Those may be the buses my friend told me about. His father started a bus company still in operation. They have contracts with local school districts. The feds saddled them with some electric buses hat they didn't want, but they have no info, funds or training on how to maintain them. When they have mechanical issues, they become worthless - just very large bits of garbage.

One breaks down, no one can fix it.
It's parked outside. For good.

59 buses in the garage.
Another breaks down, no one can fix it.

Moonbat Solution - Dedicated bicycle lanes for school children whose electric school buses don't work.

Dem philosphy is that any problem can be solved by more Government and more Government spending.

When heat becomes unaffordable, Moonbat Libs will have the Government subsidize heat or institute price controls for heat (which will lead to the rise of the BTU Mafia).

When electricity becomes unaffordable, Moonbat Libs will nationalize private generation and private transmission companies or re-organize them into NGO Co-ops (which will increase business for La Costra Wattage).

When vehicle fuels become unaffordable, Moonbat Liibs will issue an Executive Order that declares Interstate highway lanes to be carpool or high occupancy vehicle lanes, and that rations air travel (air travel ticket scalpers).
