Let Them Eat Renewables

If you ever needed any proof for your left-wing friends that the current administration or, for that matter, progressives in general care nothing for anyone but themselves, look no further than the latest potential move by the Biden administration to rob Americans of their ability to heat their homes or run their cars this coming winter.

The administration (and I use that term loosely) is mulling shutting down an oil pipeline in Michigan as the Midwest moves into the coldest time of the year. I grew up in Ohio and did my undergrad work in Michigan and I can tell you from personal experience that Midwest winters, due largely to the humidity, are cold. Very cold. Biting, knuckle-breaking, breath-stealing, oh-dear-god-let-it-end cold. Jason Hayes, the director of environmental policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, commented, “They’re planning to power an industrial nation like the United States on solar panels and wind turbines.” Hayes acknowledged that even those vaunted saviors of the environment still require fossil fuels for their very existence.

In the end, this translates into higher heating costs, with those on fixed incomes trying to decide if they want heat, water, food or clothes. I will not go so far as to say the administration is tone-deaf. They have access to the same data the rest of us do. But if the poor and the elderly freeze this winter, I am certain Biden’s handlers will find a way to blame it on Trump, as usual.

Interestingly enough, while Biden put the kibosh on the Keystone XL pipeline, he agreed to remove sanctions on a Russian pipeline moving energy to Germany. To add insult to injury, when asked on Friday if there were any plans to boost oil production at home, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm laughed

When will people finally say enough is enough? He is literally wiping out the middle class.

“When will people finally say enough is enough? He is literally wiping out the middle class.”

And he is succeeding even beyond Obama’s wildest dreams.

Brandon is physically bloodless. Politically, he is unmatched in American history in terms of his willingness at the drop of a hat to engage in sheer brutality. He is also a well known racist, thinly disguised. His political party must view him as the absolute perfect POTUS to enact their biggest plans for this country right about now.

One of the few things that Biden did right. At least Europeans won’t have to freeze to death, even if Americans do.

Brandon has no soul, no honor, and no integrity. None is his immediate family does. They are all rotten to the core. Yes; the perfect ‘tool’ for the Satanists to use to pull the Anti-American levers. Vaxx mandates and not enforcing immigration law and now amnesty for illegals are all 100% of these supervillain crimes.

The libs have been trying to shut down this pipeline since... well, forever.
It is protected by treaty, not a fake one, but a real one.
The libs love canada, and shutting down this pipeline in violation of a treaty with them would piss off the canadians.
My guess is alot of noise will be made, but the pipeline will remain open.

Warren Buffett prefers oil to be moved by his RR, not a safer, cheaper pipeline.

When the author says the left is doing this to stoke their egos, I think he is either too kind or doesn’t understand. There is a significant percentage of the left elite that want to kill off as many normal Americans as possible.

Beyond that, if the elite is as smart as they say, even if they are not motivated to simply kill us, they have to know that is the likely result of making heat unavailable in winter.

So there is really no moral difference between those two categories of elite, is there? One wants to kill us, the other knows that stoking their egos will kill usn and goes right on.

Failing to call them on this is a grave era amongst so-called conservatives.

When PG&E went bankrupt over the wild fires, court papers revealed what Warren Buffet and Bill Gates were charging SEVEN TIMES THE GOING RATE for each Kilowatt of power.

And, PG&E had to purchase every watt they generated.

The elites, like Bill Gates, Soros, Obama, Klaus Schwab, Lenin, and Stalin hate the middle class = Kulaks.
