Did Paul Cook' read his "Capitol Update (July 1, 2014)" before sending it out??
1. Cook states [OPINION re the border crises]:
.
"The national security crisis on our southern border has taken a new and troubling turn in recent months. ...The border has been has recently overrun by thousands of unaccompanied minors entering the U.S. illegally. ... Tens of thousands of children...are being handed over to drug cartels to be smuggled into the United States. Many of these children are being sold into sex slavery by criminals. This is a direct result of the administration’s lawless policy of encouraging children to enter the United States illegally..." [THEN he says its the DREAM ACT & he says he would cease deportation and grant work permits to students illegally in the United States]"
.
WHOA DUDE!! Is it the cartels, the sex slavers or the DREAM ACT???
.
1a:
[CONAWAY OPINION] This guy, like his bozo bosses, will fling anything
into the air to trigger irrational hatred and ridicule. Cause and effect
needs to be discussed, but as anyone will tell you, trying to repeal
the Affordable Care Act was more important than working with the
President on immigration reform.1. Cook states [OPINION re the border crises]:

BOB's
SOLUTION: If you want to stop the flow of unaccompanied children, stop
accepting Central American goods from factories in those countries until
the home countries control their own borders. CAFTA dude...enforce it.
If it is the cartels, file a RICO action against them, get a judgment
and seize their accounts in the US.

2. Cook says [RE LNG exporting & HR 6 (the "Domestic Prosperity and Global Freedom Act)]: "Due to advances in technology and innovation, America’s natural gas output has rapidly increased over the last decade and is expected to continue rising in the decades. ... The export of U.S. Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) offers significant domestic and geopolitical benefits. A recent study authored by the Department of Energy (DOE), DOE concluded that the export of U.S. LNG would result in net economic gains for America. In addition to the economic benefits and jobs resulting from building new export facilities, opening new markets for American natural gas would encourage further production of domestic energy. This would create additional jobs and support America’s manufacturing renaissance. A study by ICF International estimated that LNG exports are expected to contribute 665,000 net job gains by 2035. U.S. LNG can supplant the influence of other exporters like Russia and Iran while strengthening ties with our allies and trading partners around the world. The crisis in Ukraine has underscored the importance of U.S. LNG exports for global energy security. With the passage of H.R. 6, we can send a clear signal to our allies that a stable and secure energy supply will be available to meet their energy needs".

2a:[CONAWAY OPINION]
: HR 6 does not say or do what Cook claims it does, he overstates the
potential and the real motive is to get pending permits approved BEFORE
the November election so the big money comes into the party. The
Congressional Budget office [http://www.cbo.gov/
.
"Under the Natural Gas Act, the Department of Energy (DOE) regulates imports and exports of natural gas. H.R. 6 would amend that act to specify a deadline for DOE to issue decisions on certain applications for authority to export natural gas. Specifically, H.R. 6 would require DOE to issue a decision on any existing application within 90 days of either the enactment date of H.R. 6 or the close of the comment period pertaining to the application, whichever is later".
.
CONAWAY COMMENTS re HR 6:
.
(1) So its about speeding up the approval process for what? How big is this potential?? How many applications are involved?
.
According to DOE, fewer than 100 applications have been approved or are pending for export of natural gas as of March 2014 See: Congressional Budget office report at http://www.cbo.gov/
.
(2) The ICF International study referred to by Cook does not state in what country the jobs would be created (opps) or if in this country certain plants get built, whose nationals, with the Trans Pacific Pact, will get the jobs on US soil?
.
(3) So what does it change? Well, the Court system--this is not about stabilizing markets, its about speeding up the ability of Koch Brother type folks ability to unload the fracking produced natural gas in three months or less from permit submission--which remarkably coincides with the November election cycle?? [See:https://beta.congress.
.
"Domestic Prosperity and Global Freedom Act - (Sec. 2) Directs the Department of Energy (DOE) to issue a decision on an application for authorization to export natural gas within 30 days after the later of: (1) the conclusion of the review to site, construct, expand, or operate the liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA); or (2) the date of enactment of this Act.
.
Deems any NEPA review to be concluded: (1) 30 days after publication of a required Environmental Impact Statement if the project needs one; (2) 30 days after publication by DOE of a Finding of No Significant Impact if the project needs an Environmental Assessment; and (3) upon a determination by the lead agency that an application is eligible for a categorical exclusion pursuant to regulations under NEPA.
.
(A "categorical exclusion" under NEPA is a category of actions which do not individually or cumulatively have a significant effect on the human environment and which have been found to have no such effect in procedures adopted by a federal agency in implementing environmental regulations and for which, therefore, neither an Environmental Assessment nor an Environmental Impact Statement is required.)
.
Confers original and exclusive jurisdiction upon the U.S. Court of Appeals for the circuit in which the export facility under an application will be located over any civil action for the review of: (1) a DOE order regarding the application, or (2) DOE failure to issue a final decision on the application.
Requires the Court, if it finds in a civil action that DOE has failed to issue a final decision on an application, to order DOE to issue one within 30 days.
Requires the Court to set any civil action brought under this Act on the docket, for expedited consideration, as soon as practical after the filing date of the initial pleading.
(Sec. 3) Amends the Natural Gas Act to set, as a condition for approval of any authorization to export LNG, that the DOE Secretary require the applicant to disclose publicly the specific destination or destinations of any such authorized LNG exports".

WHAT's Ya THINK NOW ABOUT PAUL COOK's LATEST GIFT TO CORPORATE AMERICA??
.
Cook and the Koch types want to destroy our court review process for a measlie 100 past and current applications? If you believe that, I've got some bridges to sell ya.
.
The Koch types have a new friend indeed. But California deserves better (and so does the nation).
