While we're busy being assailed by police killings, both on black people, indigenous peoples, and looking for a cop killer, and Obama has his climate program about to be unveiled, the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee passed a bill from Chairwoman Lisa Murkowski that would allow for the export of all crude oil and condensate produced in the U.S. The bill would also provide for revenue sharing for offshore drilling in her home state.
The Washington Post Editorial Board then talks to us like we are 6 year olds :IMAGINE THERE were a simple policy that would spur economic growth, lower gas prices and please international allies. This policy exists: removing the United States’ irrational and outdated ban on exporting domestically produced crude oil.
I especially like the post-apocalyptic photo that reminds one of the cesspit of Vinci, in the second season of HBO's "True Detective". So pay no mind to Congress, they're defending us from Planned Parenthood and giving away our National Parks. Murkowski is going all socialist of course in getting Alaska residents their meager stipends.
