The Radical Left's War on American Energy Workers
Hard-Working Patriots Betrayed
When you talk to pipeline workers who built America's energy dominance with their bare hands, the pain of the left's betrayal is clear. Obed Camacho, who works for Houston's Troy Construction employing 3,000 pipeline patriots, worries "I just recently bought a house, so I got a mortgage, and then I got a truck payment. I got to take care of a little one, diapers."
Camacho represents thousands across the nation's energy heartland who embraced hard work to provide for families, only to have their way of life destroyed by Biden's fringe renewable agenda. At Troy's headquarters, CEO Taylor Dacus reveals the gut-punch: "About half of our business is gone, right out of the chute."
These are the salt-of-the-earth workers who powered America's renaissance, now tossed aside on the sacrificial altar of green extremism. One of Camacho's colleagues defiantly states "I'm good at my job. I want to stay doing it. And, I'd like to see them get a job, doing something else, because they're not very good at theirs." Another sees no alternative after decades of backbreaking toil: "We live to do what we do, and we're proud of it."
Even skilled tradesmen like Lynn "Bugsy" Allen, a Keystone XL pipeline welder of 35 years, have their life's work flushed down the radical left's drain. "I ain't going to go try to get a green energy job. They don't pay good at all," Allen says plainly. "It ain't even close to what we make. I'm barely getting by. There's a whole lot of guys like me."
Leftists' Unrelenting Assault on American Energy
How did patriotic energy workers loved by Trump find themselves discarded so callously? It stems from Biden and the left's militant prioritization of pie-in-the-sky renewables over reality.
The Inflation Reduction Act shoveled billions into green vanity projects, with empty promises of 10 million new jobs. Yet over half a year later, only 211,000 measly positions were created per leftist Climate Power's own admission.
Meanwhile, the left has taken a sledgehammer to the energy firms powering our nation's prosperity and independence. Biden instantly killed thousands of union jobs by axing the Keystone pipeline. More recently, he paused all new LNG export approvals.
Bizarrely, that last move could worsen emissions by forcing developing nations like China to burn more dirty coal. Economist Liz Peek points out how backward this is: "increased LNG exports from the U.S. can help transition away from coal."
By crippling America's ability to provide cleaner natural gas globally, Biden may be inadvertently propping up dirtier energy sources - all to please his radical base.

Act fast, this $8 stock could be moments away from appreciating considerably.
Investment Portfolios Slashed
The left's deranged energy machinations aren't limited to eviscerating blue-collar jobs. They're also demolishing investment accounts held by hard-working Americans of all stripes.
Oil, gas, and energy funds that reliably grew wealth for decades now wither under Biden policies overtly designed to dismantle domestic fossil fuel production at any cost. Returns have collapsed, upending plans for financial security.
From teachers' pensions to factory workers' 401ks, countless retirement nest eggs face marked devaluations thanks to the left's regulatory assault on this vital industry. The paradigm-shifting shale revolution Trump helped unleash is being systematically snuffed out in hostile regulatory trenches.
With the Biden team's emissions obsession, firms now navigate a shape-shifting minefield where stifling rules can materialize overnight. Forecast modeling grows murky under this pall of uncertainty maliciously injected into America's energy sector.
MAGA Counterpunch Our Only Hope
For beleaguered pipeline crews clinging to their way of life, and investors whose hard-earned savings hinge on energy's enduring importance, all is not yet lost. A revived MAGA Republican administration could rapidly reverse this disastrous trajectory.
Free from radical green oaths, the GOP could immediately reignite domestic oil/gas permitting while reviving nation-building projects like Keystone XL. The world's former energy leader would be reinvigorated, capitalizing on vast resources rather than self-sabotage.
For workers like Troy Construction's abandoned crews, a MAGA resurgence represents a desperately-needed lifeline to revive their communities and provide for families as they always did - through honest toil.
For investors, a pro-energy Republican shift could resurrect fossil fuels as a profitable harbinger of growth once again. Regulatory sanity would replace the left's values-warped obstructionism against this foundational sector.
American policy ebbs and flows, but the Trump movement's unapologetic embrace of domestic energy abundance offers deliverance from the green elites' scorn for our nation's traditional industry and workforce. As hardened tradesmen brace for their last stand, the prospect of ending this radical agenda renews hope their calloused hands may rebuild what the left has torn asunder.
Let’s Make America Great Again.
