President Joe Biden followed his raft of heavy-handed climate executive orders by announcing his loftiest goal yet: slashing U.S. carbon dioxide emissions in half by the end of the decade.
Energy is a necessity, not a luxury; because of this, even the most draconian federal emissions rules won't exterminate fossil fuels.
They'll just be forced to import more from overseas, ceding economic and political power to unstable nations instead of supporting responsible American energy producers.
American energy companies have developed such rigorous emission controls that natural gas shipped to Europe from the United States produces far less greenhouse gas emissions than gas imported half the distance from Russia-or even a quarter of the distance from North Africa.
Shifting energy production overseas will also increase emissions of pollutants that actually cause human harm.
We are the only highly populated nation to meet the World Health Organization's safe air standards for particulate matter and have reduced the six main air pollutants by 77 percent in the last 50 years-all while significantly growing our economy, population, and energy consumption.
Biden's plan would allow Russia, China, and Saudi Arabia to pollute with abandon while responsible American energy producers are penalized and driven out of business.
