Costs and Consequences: America’s Misguided Energy Policies

This administration’s energy policy is driven by considerations other than expanding our energy resources or creating more jobs. The administration targets fossil fuels in order to favor alternative energy, but the one certain result will be to make energy more expensive for America’s working families. No alternative energy source produces nearly as much energy, nearly as reliably, nearly as cheaply, as fossil fuels. America needs a rational energy policy that protects our environment while allowing America’s working families to benefit from the blessings of our natural resources.
