Beware Washington telling Americans which vehicle they can drive instead of letting consumers choose for themselves.
U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is 100 percent correct when she talks about the need to 'keep the lights on,' as she did Monday at the CERAWeek energy conference in Houston. As energy policy goes, Washington has no greater priority than keeping American families and businesses well-supplied with affordable, reliable energy.That means embracing American natural gas and oil, both of which are produced to some of the highest safety and environmental standards in the world.
It's the realistic approach to America's energy needs today and tomorrow. It's telling that two in three voters in a recent poll said they believe energy policy from Washington is on the wrong track.Another policy misstep is the administration's recent decision to pause permitting for liquefied natural gas that would go to allies abroad. Though officials claim concern about LNG's impact on domestic natural gas prices and environmental effects, neither stands up to scrutiny.
