It's a good day for American workers and a bad day for the Big Green lobby in San Francisco. President Trump is putting American workers and our economy and energy security first. And he's putting Al Gore last.
Obama had done everything he could to sabotage Keystone. And his politicized administration kneecapped Dakota Access in response to leftist hysteria. Now all that is changing with Trump's latest executive orders.
But this isn't just a pass. President Trump has said that he wants domestic materials used for the pipeline, one of the executive orders calls for Commerce to get American steel into projects, and for the government to get a share of the revenue. This is very different from Democrat "no'ism" or the "market will solve it all" approach of Republicans.
And, probably even more importantly, President Trump is expediting environmental reviews. When the left rants about our decaying infrastructure, what they fail to mention are the crippling and hideously expensive environmental review processes which stall projects and benefit the ecoscammers of the left.
Once upon a time the Empire State Building was built in a year. Today we have trouble getting a project moving along in a year.
Making America Great requires getting the bureaucracy and ecoacracy out of the way.
