Who said bipartisanship is dead? I guess not everybody is hell bent on destroying the American oil and gas industry.
Wall Street Journal (3/14/22) editorial: "President Biden nominated Sarah Bloom Raskin to be the Federal Reserve’s vice chairman for bank supervision because she wants to use financial regulation to redirect capital from fossil fuels. She’s the wrong person for the wrong job at the wrong time, as Joe Manchin explained in his own words Monday in saying he opposes her nomination. 'Now more than ever, the United States must have policy leaders and economic experts who are focused on the most pressing issues facing the American people and our nation—specifically rising inflation and energy costs,' the West Virginia Senator said. Ms. Raskin’s 'previous public statements have failed to satisfactorily address my concerns about the critical importance of financing an all-of-the-above energy policy to meet our nation’s critical energy needs.' Ms. Raskin told the Senate she won’t use her powers against any industry, but her public record is clear. In June 2020, she wrote that financial regulators must 'do all they can—which turns out to be a lot—to bring about the adoption of practices and policies that will allocate capital and align portfolios toward sustainable investments that do not depend on carbon and fossil fuels.' There are many similar quotes."

"Despite the clear need for America to embrace this powerful tool [fracking], the Democratic Party has instead decided to double down on anti-energy independence initiatives. They’re playing right into Putin’s hands."
