Upsetting the Globalists in 144 characters or less: 

USOGA made some people unhappy with this response to the UN Secretary’s social media team's silly tweet.  But if we don’t do it – who will?   

Easy Company takes the Hill: 

USOGA joined with the rest of Easy Company in hitting Capitol Hill this week to talk next steps on permitting reform.  Easy Company is the coalition of allied trade associations we assembled over two years ago to fight back against those who would put us out of business and together – we represent over 80% of all US production.  Bottom line from our meetings this week?  Permit reform is alive and well.

Should we be just a bit concerned about the greening of the military by left wing energy planners?

Bloomberg reports:   

The military’s grand vision of an all-electric fleet of tanks is being stymied by a battery sector that’s not even close to delivering the power the Army needs, according to two Pentagon officials.  

No one who knows anything about energy would think, “oh sure, let’s make a tank electric.” Yet the political appointees at DOD have “grand visions of an all-electric fleet of tanks.”  Because replacing the carbon footprint of a 62-ton M1Abrams tank with its 1500hp gas turbine engine is good for the environment.
