Calvin Coolidge, the 30th president of the United States, once said “the chief business of the American people is business.”

Elections have consequences, and in the energy and environmental policy areas, the consequences resulting from the election of Donald Trump have been profound.

One of the most accusatory and negative words currently in use in various politically “progressive” circles is that of “Neo-Liberalism.”

In an open letter to the international community, titled “We Are Still In,” more than 1,200 officials have come out in support of voluntarily continuing the terms of the Paris climate accord.

In a much-anticipated decision, President Donald Trump kept his campaign promise by announcing recently that the United States will withdraw from the Paris climate agreement negotiated by 195 countries in December 2015.

On June 6, Policy Advisor and Executive Director of the International Climate Science Coalition Tom Harris appeared on the Charles Tendell Show discussing the complicated nature of leaving the Paris Climate Accord.

During the Obama administration, the federal government put into place a series of regulations designed to reduce and ultimately eliminate fossil fuels, and the Paris agreement was meant to continue Obama’s anti-fossil-fuel legacy in the future.

The so-called Paris “Treaty” has all sorts of grounds for complicated lawsuits to restrict America’s new found energy independence and growing massive natural-gas production.

Throughout the first 100 days of the Trump administration, policymakers in energy-producing states have seen many positive improvements emerging out of Washington, D.C.

Give them no rest until their infamous Grab for Global Power called the Paris Climate Treaty is rejected, never to rise again.

A recurring headline in the Age of President Barack Obama begins with things like “Obama Administration Issues New Rules…” and “Administration Targets…” and various variations on this theme. To wit:

Employing his college degree in fiction writing, White House communications strategist Ben Rhodes wrote deceitful talking points on the Benghazi attack and one-sided Iran nuclear deal – and later bragged about manipulating “clueless reporters.” Perhaps he’s also orchestrating administration climate spin.

Perhaps you watched the Earth Day news coverage of the “historic” ceremonial signing of the Paris Climate Agreement during which representatives from 175 countries walked up to the stage in the General Assembly hall at the United Nations headquarters in New York, sat down behind a desk on the podium, and added their signatures to the book. “In the name of the United States of America,” Secretary of State John Kerry signed his name with his young granddaughter on his lap.
