A Harris Presidency Would Be an Inevitable Energy Security Disaster

[Note: This piece will be published at the Daily Caller]

The catalog of Kamala Harris’s history on energy policy is as thin as the listing of her accomplishments as Joe Biden’s ‘Border Czar,’ which is to say it is bereft of anything of real substance.

But the queen of word salads and newly minted presumptive nominee of the Democratic Party has publicly endorsed many of her party’s most radical and disastrous energy-related ideas while serving in various elected offices, both in her energy basket-case home state of California and in Washington, DC. What Harris’s statements add up to is potential disaster for America’s future energy security.

"The Vice President's approach to energy has been sophomorically dilettantish, grasping not only at shiny things such as AOC's Green New Deal but also at the straws Americans use to suck down the drinks they need when she starts talking like a Valley Girl,” Dan Kish, Senior Research Fellow at DC-based energy think tank Institute for Energy Research, told me in an email this week. “To be honest, she's no worse than many of her former Senate colleagues who have helped cheer on rising energy costs and the fleeing American jobs that accompany them. She doesn't seem to understand the importance of reliable and affordable domestic energy, good skilled jobs or the national security implications of domestically produced energy but maybe she will go back to school on the matter. No doubt on her electric school bus."
