Democrats' Campaign Promise: We'll Destroy America's Energy Sector And Economy

Crude production in the U.S. has spiked since 2008, rising from roughly 5 millions barrels a day to almost 11 million barrels in 2018, 17% higher than 2017, says the government's Energy Information Administration.

The growth, says the EIA, was "Driven mainly by production from tight rock formations using horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing. EIA projects that U.S. crude oil production will continue to grow in 2019 and 2020, averaging 12.3 million b/d and 13.0 million b/d, respectively."

We are more energy independent, more energy secure, thanks to fracking.

The Democrats want to turn the energy production clock back decades if not centuries.

A comment made by a campaign spokesman for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who not long ago tweeted that "Fossil fuel executives should be criminally prosecuted for the destruction they have knowingly caused" - that someone who holds such a childish view can be elected to any office in this country is alarming - epitomizes the Democratic field's closed-minded view on fracking.

A wind farm needs 100 times more land than a natural-gas plant to create the same amount of energy.

Under a Democratic administration, America would be forced into a Third World energy experience enforced by bureaucratic cranks, and supported by naive, sanctimonious, and in some cases completely detached-from-reality Democrat voters.
