I am a proud Democrat. I am a former environmental attorney. I am a climate hawk ready to have hard conversations about permitting reform.
if we want to reduce our reliance on OPEC and other bad actors internationally, we should reduce our reliance on oil
Increased U.S. production will not necessarily protect American consumers from volatile energy prices because we are still connected to the international market.
I agree with that, but wouldn't you love to see an economy where we could both reduce those environmental impacts on low-income communities and also have low energy prices?
