Washington Examiner: Under Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, who signed into law a slew of job-killing regulations in 2019, oil production has dropped 30%.
We can and should be better than this. Developing our natural resources closer to home is good for jobs, good for our economy, good for national security, and even good for the environment.
With the environmental regulations and protections in place in Colorado and across much of the country, and given technological enhancements and developments in the industry, the men and women who work in American oil and gas are producing much cleaner energy than anything coming out of Saudi Arabia or Russia.
Now is the time to remember the lessons of our past, to embrace the technology and science that is leading to cleaner oil and gas development, to produce more of our resources here at home, to benefit American consumers, and to make the world safer.
