Breitbart –
President Donald Trump on Saturday announced the signing of an executive order to protect both the fracking and oil and gas industries following former Vice President Joe Biden’s pledge to “transition from the oil industry.”
“Just signed an order to protect fracking and the oil and gas industry,” the president wrote on Twitter. “This means JOBS, low energy bills, and continued AMERICAN ENERGY INDEPENDENCE! Sleepy Joe would BAN fracking and destroy American energy jobs! He has NO clue!!”
A White House fact sheet of the order — titled “President Donald J. Trump Is Supporting Hydraulic Fracturing and Other Technologies to Protect Our Jobs, Economic Opportunity, and National Security” — reads that the president will undertake the following actions to protect the fracking and oil and gas industries:
- Due to public calls to ban or restrict such technologies, the President has directed his Administration to assess the potential effects of such bans or restrictions on American citizens.
- The Administration will assess the potential consequences of fracking bans – such as job losses – on Americans who are directly or indirectly benefiting from the energy industry and other industries, including mining for sand and other minerals.
- The President wants to protect these jobs and help out-of-work Americans who are seeking good jobs.
- No responsible public official should sacrifice vast numbers of American jobs and livelihoods to appease domestic radicals and curry favor with foreign powers.
Biden made the pledge to “transition” from the oil industry during the final presidential debate in Nashville, Tennessee. read more
And this will force Joe Biden to double down on ending fracking. lol.
One candidate’s piehole spews only lies,
the other means what he says and loves his country.
Geoff C. just showed me a twitter pic of a rally in PA with a fracking drill set up behind POTUS Trump’s stage. The accompaning message: “This is a fracking drill brought to the rally because President Trump, it’s what he does.” (or something like that). Too funny!
here in the uk , we have huge shale gas deposits , enough for 100 years , trump lowered the restrictions , we have the most draconian in the world , after a few lefty greens laid down in the road outside a test rig , we get our gas from a 2,000 mile pipe line ,it comes under the north sea from norway , guess who is at the other end , with his finger on the on off switch , yep mr putin

You guys need some firearms.
Honestly, that isn’t worth the paper it is printed on. Politically smart but at the end of the day it would be rescinded Day 1 of a Biden Admin
If DACA and Justice Roberts have taught me anything, it’s that future Presidents cannot undo a prior President’s executive orders.
Thanks, John Roberts.
But what about feldercarb?
Which frackin industry be he talkin bout?
