Biden aims to shutter largest oil field in U.S. amid record-high gas prices [Permian Basin, TX]
https://powergrid.news ^ | JULY 6, 2022 | By Ethan Huff

In retaliation against the Supreme Court’s recent decision to stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) from forcibly shutting down America’s fossil fuel industry – at least to the degree and pace at which this is currently happening – the Biden regime is now threatening to close the country’s largest oil field.

According to reports, the EPA is readying itself to cite the Texas-based oil field, known as the Permian Basin, for supposedly violating “ozone pollution standards.” That citation could be the move that drives a final nail in the coffin of America’s last remaining traces of energy independence, which is exactly what the Biden regime wants to do.

“According to the Texas Governor’s Office, the proposed regulations will directly affect the Permian Basin, the largest oil field in the United States, accounting for 95,000,000 gallons of gasoline per day or 40% of the oil produced domestically,” one report explains about the situation.

“This would be just one more move from Biden’s administration to impact the lives of every American by reducing the fuel supply and causing gas prices to soar well beyond Biden’s record of $5 per gallon.”

Former EPA Chief of Staff Mandy Gunasekara told reporters this week that even though Americans are paying the highest gas prices ever in our nation’s history, to the demise of many of them and their families, “team Biden continues to double down on their political commitments to ‘end all fossil fuels.'”

Biden promised a cold, dark winter – and it is coming soon Much of America seems to be asleep at the wheel in terms of recognizing that our lives and livelihoods are now being used as political fodder by the “green”-loving left to get back at the Supreme Court for taking aim at the climate change agenda.

If the Permian Basin gets shut down by Biden and his cronies, you can be sure that energy prices now will look like a bargain later on, especially come wintertime when everyone starts running their heaters.

“It’s going to be a cold, deadly winter in the United States,” wrote a commenter at 100percentfedup.com.

If you think inflation is bad now, added another, just wait because you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

“They want this for us and I am not exaggerating: subsistence living!” this person added. “Biden also campaigned on raising taxes! Who is stopping him?”

The answer, of course, is nobody. Nobody is stopping the Biden regime because America has become too divided (and emotional) and too distracted to get much of anything done except a continued descent into absolute totalitarianism.

Someone else interjected that he likes Russian President Vladimir Putin far more than he could ever like Biden, even though the latter is supposedly our president.

“Both parties are garbage,” this person further stated. “Biden is a total lunatic. I’d like to ask him face to face how it feels to be the worst president this country has ever had.”

Others pointed out that Democrats buy gasoline just like Republicans do, and that it is shocking to see the left mostly ignore the destruction of all of us at the hands of the Biden regime.

“Did people not believe Biden when he promised to end oil?” asked someone else rhetorically. “Did you really think he wouldn’t try to take your AR-15? Welcome to the end, America.”

“How much longer is this going to go on?” asked another about Biden’s wicked reign over the country. “This demented, cadaverous, feeble-minded old man is a threat to our country.”

Just as I said when Obama was President: You step back and look at the totality of Biden’s executive actions and inaction, it is crystal clear that he is undermining the well-being of the American citizen, and creating a huge national security threat against our nation. Whether a trained legal mind can authoritatively assign to his behavior the terms “sedition” or “treason” is not for me to say. Suffice it to say he is attacking our nation and its citizens. At best, he is a low-life POS. More than likely he is a criminal that deserves the gallows. We need to hurry to seal his fate before he rots in his chair.

The American media has done a masterful job of building a wall around the truth so that half of the American public has no idea that biden deliberately destroyed domestic production.

biden knows that they are doing all they can to help him, and so he feels that he can blame it all on Putin, Russia, Russia, and Russia.

If we had a media that cared about America, Biden would be out of office in a month.

I am not sure. I think if we had actual non-career politicians that cared about America, Biden wouldn't even be in office.

You have to understand that 50% of people are dumber than a brick. Most of these folks don't give a rats ass about the news beyond what their emotions drive them towards caring about directly in front of their nose.

As long as we have a system so easily exploited by fraud for voting, and allowing people who are on the government teat vote their own fate, we're doomed.

Beyond those serving in the military, ALL government employees (teachers, administrators, and every single person in the fed/state/local governments) should not be allowed to vote at any level.

The Permian basin is mostly in Texas.

The Biden admin is sick enough and vicious enough to destroy the economy of Texas and Florida to punish the people living in those Republican states thru job destruction. the Biden admin has already shown their vindictiveness when they withheld monoclonal antibody treatment for Covid from Florida. The admin is willing to kill people for political gain and to exact political “punishment”. They are evil.

The crazy thing is, to my understanding, that ozone in our atmosphere is quite unstable. It will only remain ozone for several minutes before breaking down the chemical connection and simply becoming oxygen molecules. So, what’s the harm? I mean, it’s oxidative, but only for so long as it remains ozone.

But, it’s been a while since high school chemistry.

High federal import tariffs to the Southern ports to drive business towards New York and Boston ports was no small part of what started the Civil War.

Not when it directly contravenes a very recent SCOTUS ruling.

I just can’t wrap my head around the idea that our media today is covering for Biden like they are. Where is that instinct to ferret out the truth called investigative reporting? Why did our journalist today get a degree if all they were going to do is wait for the bullet point copy of the issues and how to report them is faxed to them each day? How did they all become so mamby pamby with absolutely no free thoughts outside the narrative of the day. Wow. It is just so disgusting.
