all the rest is irrelevant, as trade deals PREEMPT NATIONAL LAWS AND WISHES
Also the energy deal will heavily impact affordable housing potentially resulting in the loss of millions of postwar formerly public housing, ecase of gATS it can never be replaced, there cannot be any more public housing because of standstill, starting in 1995, have you seen any new public housing since 1995, no, why? because its GATS-illegal thats why.
So millions of people may have nowhere to go. They will be saved from high energy prices by being rendered homeless. there wont even be any green jobs building the replacement housing. That will likely go to third world firms as they are truly poor and its allowed to discriminate in their favor.
Energy must be deregulated, WTO says so. So the US will have to upgrade its housing stock, sorry.

Energy trade is part of the ongoing discussions within the TTIP talks.
Nondiscrimination for bilateral trade in raw materials and energy are among
