That I Donald Trump's energy independence plan.

I wonder how Clinton's plan compares. I'm going to assume "Regulate more; drill less".
Which position do YOU subscribe to the most?
-
if the only choices where those two, then I'd go with the position that gives us more energy.
but, all things in moderation...

Hillary already said in a stump speech that she would do everything she could to shut down fracking and we already know where she stands on coal.

I agree,
but . . .
"Regulate less" does not mean "NO REGULATIONS"
and
"Drill more" does not mean drill anywhere and everywhere.

On the surface this seems like a decent plan and will certainly be popular with the base. No doubt Hillary and Bernie want the exact opposite. If the Republicans win the White House and maintain control of the House and Senate then this should be pretty easy to get done.

Neither. I would prefer regulate more and drill more. Actually, to be more precise, I would prefer enforce current regulations more and drill more. We need the oil and gas, but the oil and gas industry has proven itself to be terrible stewards of the environment and the environment actually matters to me.

Moratorium aside, the current regulations not only make it incredibly difficult to drill but cost prohibitive. The current regulations either need to be gutted or re-written to achieve what you're looking to do.

I appreciate that response, and I feel similarly.
But I think that the current regulations are excessive, ineffective and are designed more to be a hindrance to the energy sector and a power enhancer for the government than to protect the environment.

The vast majority of regulations were put in place without lawmaking. They need to be unwritten and actual, intelligent regulation created by congress and signed by the president to avoid the never ending cherry picking of dishonest liberal politicians.

that is something I suspect we will never see.

The fossil fuel industry is already overly regulated, and yes they are enforced by an out of control EPA. If there were any environmental problems, the vast liberal/progressive media would be all over it.

Unless, of course, the EPA is responsible for the spill
