Interior Secretary Deb Haaland can’t or won’t answer questions as she destroys the US economy. Sen. Murkowski tried to get answers. However, it is Murkowski who cast the deciding vote to appoint this unqualified, anti-fossil fuel woman as head of Interior.
Two weeks ago, the Interior Department released an offshore drilling plan that proposed lease sales in established drilling areas in the Gulf of Mexico and southern Alaska but kept open the option of no lease sales over the next five years. The department claimed we have to transition from fossil fuels.
They do not have a mandate for that. Oil and gas are key to US wealth. Without them, we lose our main resource. They are destroying our ability to use any of our resources, not just oil, gas, and coal.
Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski questioned whether the administration had thought out the damaging effect their climate policies could have on domestic energy prices.
“As we transition from a fossil-based society, a transition requires there be a path forward that is sensible for your economy,” she said. “I think that it’s unacceptable for the department to consider a five-year plan with no lease sales.”
Murkowski asked Haaland why a sale was canceled in Cook Inlet. Haaland claimed the companies didn’t show interest. However, Murkowski said there was “nothing laid down” and “no opportunity to show interest.”
Watch this disgraceful answer as she says she’s “not sure what to say other than what I’ve already said” after she didn’t answer the question:
Murkowski and sullivan from Alaska got what they voted for.
It’s not like they really care, the money they made under the table for voting for her is far more important to them. They just have to pretend to care for the low info voters who voted for her. As long as they act outraged or like they will do something, that is good enough for the low info voting… Read more »
From my understanding Alaska has oil on state land. Why we are not encouraging oil companies to come in and drill here I do not know. Maybe we all should write to Alaska’s governor and find out.
Haaland is Interior Secretary because she filled the Native American box.
Well, that wasn’t necessary. Pocahontas had that space filled already.
What we have here is a person with no credibility questioning a person with no credibility. The questioner is a fake senator, a leftist betraying her base, the secretary is an incompetent AA beneficiary. Lisa is campaigning by playing hero fighting something she helped cause. She has no credibility so we expect nothing more. Daddy made her a senator (literally)… Read more »
““As we transition from a fossil-based society, a transition requires there be a path forward that is sensible for YOUR economy,” – Is this woman an American? Does she care about American?
It’s becoming more and more evident there are 2 classes of people inhabiting this country, Americans and democrats.
Why should we “transition from fossil fuels”? Human-caused “climate change” is a HOAX. A false narrative pushed to justify global socialism and expansion of government power and control over everything in our lives.
Yes, immediately Murkowski pledges allegiance to the corrupt NWO leftists. This shows her desire is to be reelected, not save America. She just want to play hero and get more drilling now for votes. Also, there is no proof these are fossil fuels. These are hydrocarbons. They exist on some of the moons of the outer planets. That cannot be… Read more »
