Dan Crenshaw and Robert Bryce explain progressive energy policies and how they hurt the average American!!

Rather than waste an hour listening to an unhinged right-winger when A-Mike hasn't listened to the podcast himself, I quickly looked up Robert Bryce's position.

Check out this article from the Guardian in 2008 by Bryce.

Bryce wrote:Be careful what you wish for. That's one of the lessons that should be apparent as the price of oil continues to plunge

Funny. A-Mike's own guy shoves a crowbar into the spokes of his right-wing bicycle using Cultelus's favorite saying. How perfect is that?

A collapse in oil prices would also hammer America's domestic oil and gas sector

Indeed, which is why Texas is so happy with Biden personally causing the prices of all of its exports, as the nation's largest exporter of stuff, to go up and make Texas a prosperous state.

Bryce brings up this point I'd never considered, to the dismay of Ajax:

Furthermore, low prices will exacerbate Mexico's already perilous economic situation and may increase the flow of Mexican immigrants northward...That field is the world's second-largest oilfield, (behind Saudi Arabia's Ghawar) and production from the field has been falling by about 8% per year. Without substantial oil revenues, Mexico's already weak central government will become weaker still. As conditions in Mexico deteriorate, the country will have more impoverished workers who will be inclined to migrate northward in search of better opportunities

A-Mike's and Ajax's cheap gas for Americans not only mean poisoning Donald Trump's dream of the US as a great exporter of dirty energy, but it means more illegal immigrants invading Ajax's Texas. Right-wingers really need to decide if they want a prosperous energy economy for American workers, or cheap gas so they never have to sell their '67 Buicks.

As for the environment, Bryce makes the point extensively that cheap gas is bad for all the obvious reasons.

Nothing potentially hurts American interests more than failure to become a world leader in developing and promoting green energy technologies, and weaning us off the teat of the fossil fuel industry. The evidence of this is so strong and becoming so obvious, that denying it is every bit as irrational as insisting that the world is flat or that 2 + 2 doesn't really equal 4.
