Democrats Have Been at War With Oil Barons for Far Too Long

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% : They can be the party of reliable energy, robust domestic production and decarbonization -- but only if they embrace an agenda that responds to the complexity of the moment with steadiness.
62% : Alongside missteps like these, Democrats' political gestures like fracking bans have alienated an industry that has helped reduce America's reliance on oil from countries such as Saudi Arabia and Russia.
59% : China recently halted imports of American liquefied natural gas in the latest act of trade retaliation.
55% : While Democrats in Congress may not be able to pass legislation without a majority, it is time for them to offer a platform that reduces the uncertainty that paralyzes the infrastructure critical to achieving climate goals and energy reliability.
54% : That will give Democrats the chance to make the case that diverse energy sources are the best hedge against price spikes in any single fuel.
40% : Yet Republicans are now pushing to repeal up to $400 billion worth of the law's energy tax credits -- a move that would stall energy investment and drive consumer prices still higher.
