2024 U.S. Presidential Election: ‘It seems every candidate is closing with energy — even Harris

Real Clear Energy (11/3/24): Harris’ message now sounds a lot like Trump. She celebrates record-high oil and gas production and even tries to take some level of credit as these production numbers are the result of Biden-Harris policies. And in interviews and even at the  Presidential debate against President Trump, Harris walked back her previous position, claiming ‘I will not ban fracking.’ Someone on her campaign team must have read the polls or seen the focus groups. No matter the survey or its source, the number one issue on voters’ minds is inflation and the cost of food. Just recently, when asked about her top priority on ‘day one’ if she were to win, Harris said, ‘reduce the cost of living.’ The most surefire way to achieve such a goal is by lowering energy costs.

Energy Prices Shot Up 72% Thanks To Biden And Harris’ War On American Energy

https://thefederalist.com/2024/11/01/energy-prices-shot-up-72-thanks-to-biden-and-harris-war-on-american-energy/ By: Bill Peacock There is hope for major reductions in energy prices — if American politicians will repent of their support for renewable energy. Critics of former President Donald Trump often claim he is lying. Much of the time, however, the critics fail to recognize he is simply using hyperbole to highlight the problems Democrats […]

REPORT: Kamala’s Fracking Ban Will Cost Pennsylvanians $41 Billion—In Just One Year

https://restoration-news.com/report-kamala%E2%80%99s-fracking-ban-will-cost-pennsylvanians-$41-billion%E2%80%94in-just-one-year By Kevin Mooney Pennsylvania voters should know that the natural gas industry Kamala Harris would like to dismantle generated $41.1 billion in just one year alone for their state, which is greater than the GDP of 46 countries.

Debunked: The myth that Biden is the ‘Drill, Baby, Drill’ Prez – ‘Increase in fossil energy production on federal lands during Biden admin clearly is result…of strong leasing…activity in 2019-2020’ – Leasing ‘fell dramatically during the 2021-2023 period’

Via Pielke Jr.’s website: By Benjamin Zycher, Senior Fellow (and colleague of mine) at the American Enterprise Institute

Excerpt: Zycher: Fossil energy production from federal lands is the end result of a lengthy process comprising complex preliminary analyses, leasing, exploration, permitting, and development; pursuit of a lease on specific federal acreage is highly speculative, driven by some perceived potential for fossil production years in the future, under market conditions that are uncertain at best, and which may or may not yield an actual resource economically viable

As discussed above, the number of new drilling permits issued in a given year is driven heavily by leases approved in prior years, followed by the geologic and other analyses needed to determine if a drilling permit is worth pursuing.

The increase in fossil energy production on federal lands observed during the Biden administration clearly is the result in substantial part of strong leasing and leasing acreage activity in 2019-2020. Both fell dramatically during the 2021-2023 period. The central conclusions to be drawn are that Mr. Biden is not the “drill, baby, drill” president, and that fossil energy production on federal lands is likely to decline during the next two to four years.
