Energy & Doug Burgum

[Riddick]

The Republican presidential field is crowded, and includes several potentially strong candidates. Most people would not put Doug Burgum, the Governor of North Dakota, on that list, if they are even aware that he is running. Of course it is true Burgum is a long shot, but there are reasons why he may be a contender. Why is Burgum worth a closer look? Because his central issue is energy.

He is up to speed on, and actually understands, the most current scientific developments. He wants to use technology to thread the energy needle, placating liberals who are obsessed with CO2 while using America’s unparalleled fossil fuel resources to power our economy and give us unquestioned world leadership. It is a powerful vision, and Burgum is a very smart man.

Energy is the most important issue now before us. The Left is trying to destroy our economy, drastically lower our standard of living, and turn our future over to the Chinese Communist Party by abandoning our world-leading energy resources, and instead requiring the use of idiotic “green” technologies that don’t work, will never work, and are controlled by the Chinese, who use their own coal to run the plants that manufacture our pathetic wind turbines and solar panels. All of this is being done in the name of “climate change.”

This attack on our future is more threatening, and more important, than anything else that is now happening. How many politicians understand that? Not many. Some have been seduced by “green” propaganda–or, likely, by “green” money. Others are mentally squishy and subscribe to “all of the above” clichés without having any understanding of the Left’s agenda.

Who knows? Twenty years from now, it might be obvious that what we needed more than anything else in 2024 was a president who understands energy.
