On Wednesday in Brussels, Secretary of State John Kerry pledged American leadership in making it more difficult for energy to be used as a geopolitical weapon. However, the Obama Administration’s policies have done little to free the energy market.

Kerry touted American energy entrepreneurship—in particular U.S. natural gas production—for ensuring the future energy security for the

Instead it relies on mandates, government loan guarantees for cherry-picked “green companies,” and regulatory overkill in an exercise of wishful thinking that will drive up costs, hurt the economy, and cost valuable jobs.
Recognizing the important impact American liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports would have on U.S. allies in Europe, Kerry praised new LNG import terminals in Europe and the Department of Energy’s (DOE) approval of a seventh export license for American LNG... LINK
