Governors: open energy production with same authority wielded to protect the unborn

Governors have stepped up their courage to promote and sign legislation denying abortionists and transgender advocates the ability to indiscriminately kill babies and prey on children.

Restricting access to most procedures that terminate the life of the unborn have been addressed in a number of conservative states. As well, states are taking action to pull the plug on pharmaceutical interests’ fortune-building that indoctrinates youngsters to undergo life-altering, disfiguring medical procedures.

The question is, why are state legislatures and governors willing to take a hard stance on these ethical issues but refuse to do likewise to save their economies?

Why, oh why are they not removing federal agencies from interfering with the states’ constitutional ability to produce and distribute energy

All three require the same courage to uphold the Tenth Amendment allocation of governmental oversight to each individual state and its constituents.“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” This is what the SCOTUS decision implemented when it overturned Roe v. Wade – Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health acknowledged the supremacy of state jurisdiction in affairs not specifically given to the federal government.

Why, oh why are they not removing federal agencies from interfering with the states’ constitutional ability to produce and distribute energy that’s imperative to safeguard their citizens’ economic survival? When considering the Ninth Amendment (and Fifth Amendment), it’s clear that rights to the people’s resources are being deprived: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

The administration has exceeded its legal power by creating regulations that no reality under heaven could fulfill, like demanding that automakers discontinue production of internal combustion vehicles by two-thirds by 2032, decades before an infrastructure exists to support electric vehicle dominance. This is assuming that the pipedream of a “renewables” based grid (solar and wind) could ever provide ample power for an all-electric society, because science says it can’t.

Knowing the truth that solar and wind generated power is unreliable and intermittent when non-stop power creation is required to keep an economy functioning and vital, there is no excuse for any responsible governor and legislature to capitulate to essentially illegal dictates handed down by unelected administrative agencies.

Ignoring the dire need of their citizens access to affordable energy to power their homes, businesses and cars is unconscionable. It’s time governors applied the same urgency with which they’re curtailing abortion and sexual grooming of children to the moral issue of providing economic lifelines to their constituents – energy production.

States should invoke their constitutional rights of self-determination

By taking no action, states are turning their backs on their constituents. Oval Office resident, Joe Biden, signed an executive order “embedding environmental justice into the work of federal agencies.” To be clear (as Press Secretary Jean-Pierre likes to declare,) there is no such thing as “environmental justice.” It’s a hacked-up term that is meant to create a bureaucratic umbrella under which any and every stick, stone, rivulet, cloudburst and insect can be covered as threatened by humanity, thereby creating a universal gimmick to control all facets of our lives. This massive legal encumbrance, set-up under the guise of racial, gender, economic and whatever-else-the-administration-decides-is-at-risk equity, is to “assess” when, where, what and how the “who” is to pay for inducing harm to the foregoing elements.

Making it a crime to incur pain and suffering upon the all-encompassing “environment” is what the Biden administration has designated “justice.” This alone is enough reason for states to invoke their constitutional rights of self-determination.

If, under this EO and earlier regulations, federal agencies continue to deny Americans access to affordable and readily available energy in order to force the country to accept an unrealistic “green” fairy-tale, states have no choice but to drill, mine and refine oil and coal within their borders. There’s no alternative but to blow-off EPA, Department of Energy and other regulators, and march them back to D.C. where they can rule over that ten-mile square of swamp to their hearts’ content.

Stand up, governors, before your backbone dissolves to the point of allowing this administration to illegitimately withhold from us our own resources and lock us behind our own doors… again.
