From CFACT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Craig Rucker<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chameleons change colors to fit landscapes. The fabled scorpion swore he\u2019d changed and rode on the frog\u2019s back halfway across the stream but then stung the frog \u2013 because that\u2019s his nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vice President Kamala Harris and Governor Tim Walz seem intent on changing their environmental policy positions from dark green to lighter shades of lime in order to fit audience and election expediencies. They promise what they think voters want to hear, then revert to their true, far-left colors \u2026 because that\u2019s who they are. They\u2019ve repeatedly shown they are dedicated members of the radical left, avowed supporters of hard-green and woke causes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Space prevents addressing every example. But their records on energy and climate change policy clearly demonstrate why Americans should be alarmed about what a Harris-Walz Administration would likely do to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VP Harris today claims she helped the United States set oil and gas production records<\/a>. In reality, the record output came despite<\/em> Biden-Harris policies and actions \u2013 not because of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It came because the White House and federal bureaucrats couldn\u2019t directly thwart leasing, drilling, and fracking on private and state lands<\/a>. However, they did exactly that on federal lands and did everything possible to block pipelines and stymie activity in the state and private domain. Production would have been far higher \u2013 and prices far lower \u2013 had they not stood in the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Senator Harris co-sponsored the radical 2019 Green New Deal<\/a> to \u201cfundamentally transform\u201d not just America\u2019s energy sector but its entire economy in the name of fighting \u201cdangerous manmade climate change.\u201d During her 2020 presidential campaign, she advocated a total transition to electric vehicles<\/a> by 2035. She\u2019s fully behind mandating electric stoves and home and water heating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her wind and solar energy plans, which mimic Biden\u2019s, fall disastrously short of generating enough reliable, affordable electricity to meet current<\/em> US needs<\/a>, much less those of the all-electric economy she envisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2020, presidential candidate Harris said there was \u201cno question\u201d that she would ban fracking<\/a> (horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing). Her campaign staff now says that\u2019s no longer her position \u2013 probably because she wants Pennsylvania votes. Whether that rumored change of heart would survive its first encounter with raging \u201cBan Fracking\u201d fanatics in her party is doubtful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Harris has long been enthralled by \u201cclimate equity<\/a>\u201d and \u201cenvironmental justices,\u201d \u2013 by which she intends to resolve the disparate impacts the \u201cclimate crisis\u201d is allegedly having on women and people of color. Her Senate proposals would have spent hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on new federal agencies, advisory councils, and bureaucrats to implement her ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She would ban plastic straws<\/a> and single-use plastic bags \u2013 but is also oddly committed to wind and solar technologies that create thousands of times more single-use plastic trash that cannot be recycled and ends up in enormous landfills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her highly touted scheme to spend $ 5 billion on electric school buses embarrassingly resulted in only 60 buses<\/a> being purchased in three years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her 2019 \u201cclimate town hall\u201d on CNN, she said she was committed to taxing \u201ccarbon\u201d (fossil fuel) use and would use the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute America\u2019s energy producers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, Ms. Harris has shown herself to be in lockstep with a Biden Administration that adamantly opposed mining<\/a> in the United States \u2013 even for metals and minerals essential for wind turbines, solar panels, electric vehicles, transformers, transmission lines, and our national defense. With America already dangerously dependent on China, Russia, and other foreign adversaries for those materials, that is foolhardy indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no wonder Senate Harris was ranked to the left<\/a> of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She now claims to have changed or moderated her policies. That\u2019s what candidate Joe Biden said in 2020 when he promised to govern from the middle as a sensible, moderate, unifying President who would restore America\u2019s economic well-being and global status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gov. Walz matches<\/a> Ms. Harris\u2019s left-wing bona fides. He opposes fracking<\/a>, supports bans on gasoline vehicles, and signed a law<\/a> requiring that Minnesota generate only \u201ccarbon-free\u201d electricity by 2040 (with or without nuclear or hydroelectric power). Even without considering the exorbitant price of backup batteries for windless-sunless periods, that law will likely cost the state nearly $350 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His policies have made electricity prices rise so high<\/a> that factories and foundries have closed<\/a>, and Minnesota has trailed US averages<\/a> on economic and employment growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Harris-Walz administration would likely outdo anything the Biden-Harris Administration did to send prices soaring for everything we manufacture and consume. There\u2019s little doubt a Harris-Walz Administration would also likely be completely detached from the realities that underpin the U.S. economy and marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be interesting to see if American voters play the role of the na\u00efve frog that hitches a ride with a Harris\/Walz ticket that\u2019s big on promises but likely to sting them. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
