The Biden administration’s assault on U.S. energy independence is continuing even as the White House tries to shift the blame of rapidly climbing inflation and energy costs on Russia. The energy crisis is being used to push the same old lines; limiting your ability to travel, control what you eat, and other socialist claptrap.
Yes, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has aided greatly in the price hikes, but a lot can be done here that is not being done, and the things Biden’s people are doing will only make the situation here worse, and I think they know it.
Biden’s administration and the leviathan bureaucracy have used a vicious multifront attack on American natural gas in particular. It’s not enough for them to just cancel major pipeline projects like the oft-mentioned Keystone XL. It’s not enough that they have maneuvered the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) into taking much stronger stances against new pipeline projects. Our government has also banned delivering Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) by rail. Our ability to move what we produce from gas wells is being slowly strangled to death.
That is why it’s absurd when White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki says that the oil and gas producers are not doing their part to increase production. It is the “mean girls” approach to domestic energy policy -- petty and juvenile.
The same goes for our crude oil industry. Upstream, the administration encourages the development and expansion of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics, which accelerates divestment from fossil-fuel related projects. A little down the river, at the planning and drilling stage, you have barriers to leasing and permits (despite what the White House claims), and even further down, the government wants to skim more royalties from the oil and gas they allow to be produced.

All part of the “Great Reset” plans.
Just a public service announcement to say we are now in week 8,672 of “Just 3 months of special temporary measures that are needed while in 9-11’s shadow.”
Ask the nations of Europe about those three month VAT taxes in 1969 cicra.... The Marshall Plan was stopping payments and they had to go somewhere to keep the socialist paradise going.
If we allow the common subject to have an affordable and plentiful supply of energy, it will only lead to the yearning of even more freedom and liberty, and severely limit our ability to control every thing they do in their daily lives.
Yup, the common joes will get all frisky and mischievous and troublesome if they have idle time and money.
They won’t be around much longer. Stay tuned.
Biden administration’s assault on U.S. energy independence.
Biden must have read Karl Mark instructions on how to build back better.
Never let a manufactured crisis go to waste.
Bttt!
