This year we can be thankful the American people voted to unleash our energy potential.
Washington Examiner (11/29/24) reports: "With just over 50 days remaining until Donald Trump takes office once again, the president-elect has been beefing up his incoming administration with nominees and appointees that can advance the Republican’s oil and gas-focused energy agenda...Throughout his campaign, Trump vowed to take action against a number of Biden administration climate rules and laws once in office. After the inauguration, Trump is primarily expected to make good on those promises. Last week, transition spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told Reuters, 'The American people can bank on President Trump using his executive power on Day One to deliver on the promises he made to them on the campaign trail.' These vows include reversing President Joe Biden’s pause on new liquified natural gas export approvals — likely through expediting permitting for new projects — rollbacking back electric vehicle tax credits and gas-powered vehicle emission standards, reversing pollution standards for power plants, ending federal funding for offshore wind, and ramping up domestic oil and gas production. Additionally, the president-elect is expected to approve construction of the Keystone Pipeline, despite there being no calls to restart the dug-up and halted project."

"What is less appreciated is that Thanksgiving also is a celebration of the birth of free enterprise in America. The English Puritans, who left Great Britain and sailed across the Atlantic on the Mayflower in 1620, were not only escaping from religious persecution in their homeland. They also wanted to turn their back on what they viewed as the materialistic and greedy corruption of the Old World."
