Energy Proposal Shifts Control to States : Common Sense Works?

Good idea, for the most part, to let the states make the decision on 'fracking', but like so many other proposals that effect all of us, politicians can not allow the citizens to make important decisions as they believe we are too stupid and uninformed, as we all know how smart politicians are, we have to let others do the heavy lifting.

The fact that remains is carbon dioxide(CO2) is not a problem and as far as I can tell never has been, even though the environmentalist fascists drive home the notion are planet is being consumed by man-made climate change due to increased CO2 from fossil fuel consumption.

Climate change rhetoric is a tool for control and a source of revenue to sustain a mentally malignant few in power. Their misinformation and outright lies have cost, wasted, the taxpayers $billions of dollars that could have been spent on porjects that actually helped our country's environment.

The good news is this bill, if approved, will start us back on the road to prosperity. The bad news is this proposal will have little or no chance of passing as long as the progressive socialist democrats have the power to stop it. The collective democrat party will be steadfast against anything that changes the dynamics of the party ideology where power and control must remain in the hands of the few.

Once the power to control outcomes shifts back to the citizens, the states, the progressive socialist  liberal democrat part will cease to exist. The democrats aren't stupid, they know this and will do 'by any means necessary', stop this proposal from seeing the light of day.

New Energy Proposals Could be A Game Changer

The American Energy Renaissance Act of 2014 proposes many drastic changes to the status quo surrounding energy and environmental regulations. Energy proponents would laud passage of the bill, and while as a whole, it would be no victory for traditional environmentalists, one of its provisions stands out, as it seeks to phase out engine-damaging ethanol fuel and create a higher standard for fuel economy.
Those proposals include:

• Giving only states the right to regulate hydraulic fracturing;  
• Preventing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from regulating carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, water vapor and nitrous oxide emissions;  
• And repealing regulations on crude oil exports.

Transportation, which is second only to the electric power sector in terms of carbon dioxide emissions, could see significant long-term reduction in emissions while creating a surplus in disposable income for Americans and business owners.

Natural gas, while still not yet as widespread as coal, is very cost competitive, with liquid natural gas (LNG) at less than $10 per British thermal unit (Btu) while normal gas flirts with numbers around and below $5. Furthermore, if natural gas cannibalized market share from the coal it would help both the economy and the environment.

The consumer free market response to any good or service in production is to demand quality proportional to whatever price level that consumer is willing and able to pay. With time, more countries are joining the ranks of developed nations who — like the United States — are characterizing themselves as more than willing to pay premiums on energy for better environmental quality.
