Environmental activists draft plan for Kamala Harris to clamp down on fossil fuels

28

A new report from Bloomberg reveals that there’s a “Project 2025” under way for Kamala Harris, should she become president, and it involves taking an aggressive stance to cut fossil fuels and American energy production.

Bloomberg says the plan is largely secret and the environmental groups behind it are trying to keep undecided voters in the key battleground states from being spooked.

The plan involves using the president’s executive powers on Day 1 to:

1. Limit liquefied natural gas exports.

2. Shut down Energy Transfer LP’s Dakota Access Pipeline, which carries oil from North Dakota to Illinois.

3. Push for a swift end to oil and gas production using special emergency authority to bar crude exports.

4. Curb U.S. public investment in foreign fossil fuel projects.

5. Open a federal investigation of the oil and gas industry’s approach to the “climate crisis.”

“Environmentalists and former advisers have outlined their prescriptions for ways a victorious Harris could build on Biden-era climate initiatives — including the sweeping Inflation Reduction Act— to drive more US clean energy deployment and winnow planet-warming pollution worldwide. And some activists are pushing a harder line, developing blueprints for Harris to stanch flows of US oil and gas if the Democrat prevails over Republican Donald Trump,” Bloomberg writes in its Green Daily newsletter.

  1. Not worried cause Harris isn’t going to come close to winning So you hypocrite environmental groups just need to crawl back in your hole

      • At the end of election day, democrats will know where they’re at. Stacks and stacks, fed through over and over, will get them to their goal, and no one will be allowed, under threat of jail time, to watch, or double check later. But Trump is a fascist….

  2. Of course the environmental NGOs have a plan for Harris. And they also have a plan for a Trump administration. Surprise, there is a robust “conservative” infrastructure focused on advancing a climate focused agenda. The takeaway for me is that they have a plan. And we tend to pout and name call. Tommy Beaudreau, the Deputy Secretary of Interior in the Biden administration (now at a DC biglaw firm) makes the following argument:

    Fossil fuel development is intertwined with local economies, particularly in the western United States. Oil and gas revenues, in particular, are fundamental to how states and local communities in large parts of this country fund basic services—educating children, providing emergency services, and other fundamental services provided by government. So as long as we don’t have a solution for how to replace those services, the politics can be really difficult. Because you’re literally talking about changes that are disruptive to the way states and local governments fund themselves. And a lot of that ties in with public lands. Oil and gas development, for example, on public lands involves sharing, in most places, up to 50% with state and local governments. And that needs to be part of a conversation about the energy transition: How do you replace those fundamental services?

    If there is a Harris-Walz administration, it is important for Alaskans to “lean in” to the transition and identify allies for an all of the above energy policy that recognizes Alaska’s desire and need to contribute. There may not be enough time to formulate such a plan. Pro resources Alaskans tend to be reactive these days. But putting all your eggs in the basket of winning a 50-50 election isn’t a plan either.

    • Your comments are spot on. I would add that describing these groups as “environmentalists” is a misnomer.

      It’s critical to deconstruct narratives contrived specifically to confuse the public. All totalitarian regimes craft terms specific to achieving their goals to take and maintain power. Creating simple categories to identify the “good” guys from the “bad” guys, enemies of the regime.

      To focus base human instinct into hatred of the educated thought independents who advocate freedom and prosperity while accepting the loss of freedom and quality of life. As all real wealth is exfiltrated to the ruling elites.

      “Environmentalists” are anything but advocates and stewards of the land. They are media propaganda harlots, paid stooges, advocating a movement to mobilize the public into enthusiastically creating a modern version of the dark ages.

      An age of ignorance, superstition and rigid class system. Elite class becomes a generational inheritance and middle class devolved into a lower class serfdom.

      Because Trump, who was born into the elite class but rejected the modern fascist socio-economic system, betraying the inbred halfwits in power, is the only reason he is detested. He represents an existential threat to our controlling regime. The hatred deployed against that single man is illustrative of the contempt our government has against the American people.

  3. Actually it would be entertaining to just shut the fossil fuel off for 6 months or so. Can you imagine the carnage to the environmental loons after about 6 weeks with no transportation, no electricity, no groceries, no running water. It would be a real learning experience for the ungrateful. And the environmental terrorists would be hunted like rabid dogs. I’m all in. Shut it down.

    • You’d be playing into their hand. These people love civil strife and chaos. They could further their agenda under special emergency orders and possibly bring in the UN with foreign soldiers. A side benefit would be a greatly reduced population which is another goal. Careful what you wish for.

      • How do you think those UN troops would fare around here jim .?? Be fun about mid January. Are you afraid to stand your ground jim ?? I’m not. You are giving these bozos to much credit jim. They couldn’t find their ass with both hands. They would freeze in the dark.

  4. A vote for Harris is a vote for the WEF and COP agendas.
    If you want to live in a tin shack, while the “elites” are living in luxury, vote Harris/Peltola.

    • It’s amazing how many voters want this? They don’t realize that they’re just gonna be surfs supplying the Kings with food, money and sweat.

      • The technique they are using is sneaky, insidious even.
        Save the planet! Climate change! Give up your luxuries, and about half of your necessities. Save the planet!
        .
        Meanwhile, the people pushing that crap have how many houses, planes, luxury cars, etc…?
        .
        And, as soon as the biggest cheerleaders decided to start pushing palestine in addition to climate change, it is proof the population as whole is being manipulated. But, it is tougher to convince someone they have been fooled, than it is to fool them.

  5. A vote for Harris is a vote for national suicide, as her policy makers want war with Russia ASAP. Don’t believe that you say? Go read the Russian ambassador papers filed with the UN Security Council and read their grievance with Washington, then get back to us. Meanwhile, our domestic energy policies will be the last thing on our mind if this idiot we’re to ever get her sweaty little paws wrapped around the levers of power, because a global conflict won’t be far behind

  6. “A vote for Harris is a vote for the WEF and COP agendas.
    If you want to live in a tin shack, while the “elites” are living in luxury, vote Harris/Peltola.”

    That is the most succinct and on-point analysis of the choices facing the Alaska voter that has come around. Harris/Walz/Peltola/Murkowski support the government-that-intends-to-be-the Fearful Master wherein the population is the beast of burden to support the ruling elites.

    • Right there. Correct and on point.
      Is there anything the left (and that includes Murkowski) has done since the 0bama administration that has not directly supported the WEF/COP agenda? I cannot think of a single thing, but I am willing to accept anyone’s input.

  7. The shutting off of Fossil Fuels an actual mis-nomenclature would drive the United States Economy into a depression 100 times worst than the collapse of 1929. The ensuing devastation and public turmoil would throw the US into a years long Civil War unlike the world has seen. There would be nothing left at the utter destruction of American Society but guarantee the Russians, CCP, Iranians and North Koreans would be gleefully animate that the destruction of the Greatest world power at the hands of the Democrats from within occurred. I’m at a point in my life where I would not suffer long but my children and grandchildren would be completely devastated.

  8. If Harris……….goodbye Prudhoe Bay. Hello HUGE taxes for Americans. Solar panels, made in China, all over Alaska. This is the brilliant thinking of complete wacko environmentalists and Democrats. Manmade global heating is the biggest hoax ever perpetrated on Mankind.

  9. Green energy is killing the whales.
