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

6

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

  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.

  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.

  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.
