President Biden received a fact-check and a large dose of social media ridicule after getting a major point of his climate policy wrong in a recent post on the X platform (formerly Twitter).
In a post touting the Inflation Reduction Act, the administration’s key economic and climate legislation that was passed last year, Biden’s official account got the target date wrong for when the United States power grid would be powered by 81% clean energy.
The post received an official X "Community Notes" message noting the error and backlash from critics for the obvious blunder, and took heat from others tired of the climate change agenda in general.
Biden’s post contained an image of him taking a selfie with what appeared to be nondescript U.S. energy workers and a caption, which read, "The Inflation Reduction Act is projected to help triple wind power and increase solar power eightfold, while electricity deployed through the U.S. power grid is expected to be powered by 81% clean energy by 2023."
**SNIP**
The president’s critics found this error amusing. Conservative X account Rich Weinstein posted, "We're in 2023 already, genius."
Daniel Turner, the executive director of anti-radical green group "Power The Future," wrote, "It is 2023. And we’re not at 81%. This makes zero sense so I guess you tweeted it yourself…"
Other users blasted Biden’s green agenda in general. Rebel News’ Yanky Pollak replied to Biden, saying, "You owe me gas money."
Conservative columnist Tim Young added, "Im sure the slave children who mine minerals for batteries are grateful."
And former GOP U.S. Senate candidate in New York Paul Szypula grilled Biden’s energy agenda, posting, "Biden is taking staged selfies like an egomaniac while he brags about ‘clean energy’ - meanwhile energy prices are through the roof. And there’s nothing clean about solar...

You'll have to excuse his ignorance: Biden is accustomed to receiving "fat checks", not fact checks.
I blocked Slo Joe a couple of years ago, it sure felt good knowing I never had to listen to the lies from his X account again.
Of course his paid trolls still stir in the pot.
“fat checks”
Yes, Big Fat Checks. I saw a Treasury department agent saying that they could not release the exact numbers, but that it was well over 50 Million.
No surprise.
The fact that he said 2023 instead of 2030 is simply another one of his senile gaffs.
The fact that he and his whole raft of loony Greens think it can actually happen by 2030 proves that the whole lot of them are too stupid to be anywhere but mental hospitals.
Someone at the White Hut allowed Joe to use his own account without getting permission!
Cute.
Wind power is not clean. It creates massive polution when the rotors have to be buried in the earth since there is no way to recycle or reuse them.
Yes.
There is no such thing as "clean energy".
The Chinese and the Indians know this fact.
BTTT
Until I see this addled idiot actually selecting characters on a keyboard and then pressing ‘Send’ or ‘Post’, I won’t believe for a second that anything that appears under his name was actually composed by him.
Even if it’s filled with incoherent half-sentences, gaffes and lies, although that would make it appear more realistic… 🙄

Meanwhile....
Where’s all our energy (and it’s not just oil) going...?
Our county is taking farming land out, and building solar panels. Huge areas. I was thinking, how will farmers feed livestock without corn and hay? Well, it hit me, I better like bugs.
All I can say is, I hope you are right. If Biden actually sees these responses and shuts down all coal and natural gas plants in December to get the last laugh, it will be a cold winter. His handlers are vindictive enough to do that. Or try to.
