Topic: Carbon Tax
Discussed by Tom Pyle

Part 1 of 2
Conservatives have long been the voice for limited government, lower
taxes, free markets, and individual liberty. However, a small but
persistent group of RINO’s are trying to persuade Conservatives to abandon these
principles and embrace a national energy tax, or Carbon Tax.

close attention to this issue because it WILL affect you.

Are James Baker and George Shultz lobbying President Trump to impose a Carbon
Tax on the use of fossil fuels in America?
How will this affect consumers?

Title: Keystone and Dakota Pipelines
Topic: Keystone and Dakota Pipelines
Discussed by Tom Pyle
with Institute for Energy Research (www.InstituteForEnergy.com)
Part 1 of 2
President Trump has signed executive actions to advance the Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines and to streamline the permitting process for important energy and infrastructure projects.
Tom Pyle is the President of the American Energy Alliance. They recently issued a statement, commenting that they “look forward to analyzing these particular actions when the White House releases the final text of the orders”.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Cherries from Michigan…Apples from the State of Washington…Pineapples from Hawaii…How did all those products make it to our favorite grocery stores?
Which is safest mode to transport crude oil: truck, train, or pipeline?
When an accident occurs, is more crude oil spilled by train or by pipeline?
Trucks, trains, and pipelines all move products from source areas to consumption areas, allowing consumers a vast array of choices in food and products. Do we really want to go back to using and consuming products made/grown from within a 10-20 mile area from where we live? Is this even feasible in today’s economy?

Title: Fact-Checking Donald Trump
Topic: Donald Trump
Discussed by Tom Pyle
with Institute for Energy Research (www.InstituteForEnergy.com)
Hillary Clinton can have a medical meltdown and it is not even mentioned on the nightly news. Donald Trump can say something about the Second Amendment and the MSM claims he encouraged gun owners to kill Hillary. This, my friends, is the difference between the right and the left.
Tom Pyle, with American Energy Alliance, is here today to discuss a very important topic: fact-checking the Presidential Candidates on the economy.
Questions/Issues Discussed:
Hillary’s camp says: Keep it in the ground. Trump says: Drill baby drill. Which helps Texans the most?
Which is more important: the prairie chicken or human baby?
Which country better protects the environment: Iraq, Iran, Venezuela, or the United States?
Is America in danger of running out of oil and natural gas?
Is the American economy better off today because oil is selling for about $40 per barrel instead of $100 or $125 per barrel?
Recently, in a major economic speech, Donald Trump said that he would unleash an “energy revolution that would bring vast, new wealth to our country.” What is Trump’s plan and how will it help Texans?
Most Americans have experienced stagnant wages the past seven-plus years. Trump recently stated that “turning the energy industry loose to harness American oil and gas annual wages would increase by more than 30 billion over the next seven years.” Is Trump just blowing smoke?

Title: Stop Work. Now!
Topic: EPA Rules and Regulations
Discussed by Tom Pyle
with Institute for Energy Research (www.InstituteForEnergy.com)
Tom Pyle is the President of the American Energy Alliance.
He is encouraging everyone to stop working now. Yes, that’s right! He wants
everyone to just stop working in order to curb an out-of-control EPA. “We’re
just following the orders of the Supreme Court!” he declares.
Before Scalia’s death, the SCOTUS Justices reprimanded the EPA concerning a
carbon-related regulation the EPA attempted to push on individual states; they
wanted utilities to undermine rate-payers. “More states have filed a lawsuit
against this particular regulation than any other [one] – ever,” Tom points
out. “We should not turn over the control of our electricity to Washington,
DC.” Furthermore, Congress never passed a bill allowing the EPA the right
to this atrocity! The EPA is just doing it on their own! And President Obama
fully approves of their illegal actions.
CO2 is not a pollutant, even though Obama and the environmentalists at the EPA
like to shout otherwise. They know it is not a pollutant, but because “they
want it to be, it is”. They are wasting billions upon billions of tax-payer
dollars trying to shut down coal-fired energy plants, when they know it will do
nothing to affect the temperature of our planet! “They are catering to an
extreme environmental community,” Tom Pyle believes. “These policies
hurt the poorest among us: seniors, people on fixed income, and those just
trying to make it in this economy.”

Title: Taxpayer Money for Electric Car Charging Stations
Topic: Electric Cars
Discussed by Tom Pyle
with Institute for Energy Research (www.InstituteForEnergy.com)
In Texas, we like our trucks and SUV’s. Most Texans
don’t like those tiny smart cars or other electric cars. If you do, then great!
But it was your choice to buy that car, wasn’t it? You were able to choose that
smart car over a truck.
But, what if the government forced you to buy a certain car? Tom Pyle is with
the American Energy Alliance. They recently conducted a survey
examining voter’s response to transportation policy. First, most respondents do
not believe that high wage earners should receive a
credit for buying an electric vehicle. In fact, the majority believe that the
government shouldn’t be involved at all!
Case in point… Some elected officials want all taxpayers to help fund and pay
for electric car charging stations. Tom reveals that respondents don’t want to
bear the cost. They also do not want a mandate or subsidy regarding what types
of vehicles we can buy. “If electric cars made economic sense, they wouldn’t
be subsidized,” Tom points out.
Government is already too involved with other aspects of our lives. We need to
keep what type of vehicle we drive our own choice and privilege. Check out their
website linked above to learn more information.
