There will be an explosion in oil, gas and coal production which will positively impact job creation in the carbon energy industries within state and local economies, but the increased volume will not be for local consumption as all oil goes into the world reserves and is priced on the world market (for example the proposed pipeline moving oil from Canada to the Gulf goes into the world market and is not delivering oil specific to the US). Alternative energy will not be a priority and will whither, leaving the industry to the Chinese to dominate. The environmental protection agency will be gutted as they see environmental regulation as unnecessary and a hindrance to economic growth.

    88% Gary Johnson.
    79% Romney

    I might actually vote for Mr. Johnson... But Texas always goes Republican, which makes voting a little bit anit-climactic.
    It's just another day in paradise
    As you stumble to your bed
    You'd give anything to silence
    Those voices ringing in your head
    You thought you could find happiness
    Just over that green hill
    You thought you would be satisfied
    But you never will-
    Learn to be still

    former new mexico governor, big on drug legalization/decriminalization

    he'd be one of the few decent politicians out there if he'd change his stance on guantanamo and "humanitarian efforts"

    Mine comes out about an even split between Jill Stein and Obama so I'm voting for Obama.
    Being an atheist, I don't really care where or if someone worships. I just have a hard time taking folks who believe in sacred undergarments seriously.
