Democrat Warren introduces "Blue New Deal"--and it's as bad as the Green New Deal
If you thought AOC's "Green New Deal" was a huge waste of your precious tax dollars, and a ridiculous boondoggle, today Democrat presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren one-upped that bullshit: She proposed a “Blue New Deal” --what she claims will protect the ocean and rebuild the economy associated with oceans.
Warren’s plan would fast-track permits for offshore wind farms--which are far more expensive to build and maintain than land-based wind farms but avoid the cost of paying farmers for land--increasing "investments in ocean farming," a push to ban use of fossil fuels in ports.
Oh, she hid the most economically-damaging for last: Her faaabulous "deal" would end all new oil and gas leases and on public lands, both on land and offshore.
If you're not in the oil business you have no idea what that last sentence means. And guess what? Democrat candidate Warren is counting on that.
See, if she'd told you what it actually meant, a huge number of Democrat voters would say "Wait...you want to make energy three or four times more expensive for Americans, and make us once again dependent on imported oil from our enemies in the middle east? Go to hell, you crazy bitch."
So let me explain: Until about 30 years ago we could only extract offshore oil in water around 100 feet deep, That meant we could only explore about five percent of the ocean. But now, due almost entirely to the incredible creativity and ingenuity of American oilmen, it's now possible to explore for oil in far deeper water. This has boosted U.S. oil production to its highest level ever.
In proposing to ban new leases on federal lands, both on land and off-shore, U.S. oil and gas production would soon drop by roughly a third--pushing prices way up, and once again making us dependent on foreign oil.
If that's fine with you, vote for Warren. Or Sanders, or Booker, or Buttigeig or Bloomberg or some other Democrat.
