General Discussion / A more informed electorate?
« Last post by rebelinabluestate on November 06, 2012, 12:58:03 am »
Throughout the past four years, the U.S. oil and gas industry has expanded public outreach efforts to better inform voters about what they do and their key role in the economy (job creation, etc.). Do you think these efforts to educate voters have been successful in that voters know more about oil and gas than they did four years ago? Also, do you think that voters' perception of the industry has become more positive?

Sadly I must agree with you.  Our congress is beholden to the business lobbies.  If you don't give them money they can't seem to hear what you're saying.

Romney appears to be gaffe-prone when it comes to foreign diplomacy. During the summer, he came over to Europe and upset a few people. He even managed to insult America's biggest ally in the region:

Certainly don't think calling for a trade war with China is the best idea at the moment...

Is there an alternative link to this? I can't view the hulu clip from the UK...

I'm not an American, but my own view regarding the creation of jobs in any country is to do with the fact that Big Business generally likes to achieve economies of scale so that they can create efficiencies that enable them to do more with fewer workers, while smaller businesses generally like to take on people as they grow. So, in short, Big Business likes to fire people while smaller businesses (when allowed) like to take on more people.

So, corporation tax regimes should favour smaller, growing companies - whether in the energy sector or other industries - while red tape that holds managers back from recruiting people should be scrapped for small firms. For example, here in the UK workers' rights such as maternity leave and greater job protection means that managers of small businesses need to think long and hard before they make a hiring decision. 

Sadly, politicians of all hues appear to see Big Business as their main constituency...

General Discussion / How foreign is domestic energy?

Xander Vagg from American Security Project asks:

In Hilary Clinton's "Energy Diplomacy in the Twenty-First Century" speech, the Secretary outlined energy’s importance to American foreign policy, describing it as an issue that touches on wealth and power, economic development and the environment, and political stability. What does "Energy Diplomacy" mean to you, and would it be a priority for your administration given the incredible array of American interests abroad? What is the relationship between our domestic energy resources and our ability to conduct a smarter, modern foreign policy?
