Pipe(line) Dreams

Once again, the Obama administration is picking winners and losers when it comes to energy. The president has vowed that America will be a net energy exporter. There’s only one roadblock: Obama himself.

While the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has cracked down on American coal production, which adds more than $1 trillion in gross domestic product (GDP), generates more than $360 billion in household income and supports nearly 7 million jobs, the Obama administration has “discovered” that the United States has ...

His National Export Initiative (NEI) was supposed to “help farmers and small businesses increase their exports.”

At the core of this plan was to create an environment that allows American exporters ...
