 Joe Biden canceled the Keystone Pipeline on his first day in office. Since then, he’s put a moratorium on numerous American oil and gas projects. The result, naturally, has been less production of inexpensive American oil and gas, more importation of expensive foreign oil and gas, and less abundance of both. This has produced ever-increasing prices at the pump and in your utility bills.
The oddity is that all this political posturing is premised on the absurdity that burning American oil and gas produces greenhouse gas emissions, but burning foreign oil and gas does not.
I shouldn’t say this is an oddity. It’s the way the leftist mind works. They operate on feelings, not thoughts.
Banning American oil and gas production gives them a triple dose of feel-good. There’s one dose for attacking an industry they loath, a second dose for attacking the employees of that industry whom they also loath, and a third dose for attacking the oil-producing parts of the country – Red States – that they loath. Lot of loathing going on with these people. Be aware that the rocketing price of oil and gas is not due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. These price increases began the very month that Biden was inaugurated, and have continued nearly every month since. But the Russian invasion certainly compounded and accelerated the problem. The loss and threatened loss of Russian oil has sent gasoline prices toward $6/gallon in America and $9/gallon in Europe. The Democrats cheered the high prices, until political polls showed that American don’t like paying high prices for gas and the calendar showed that this is the year many of them have to get re-elected to their lucrative, favor-receiving, status-filled, Chardonnay-sipping gigs, or else get a real job.

This “government” is evil to the core.
I think he’s driving all of Asia into the hands of China.
Hope he’s using an electric car.................

Such a decision should be made by Congress. This is just another example of the imperial presidency.
They hounded a legitimate President for four years ... THIS one needs to be removed.
Don't worry about the camel toe .... 2024 is very near.
I first heard the term “imperial presidency” applied to Nixon. But FDR easily qualified.
I thought Russia said Israel and the Golan Heights were next?
He also nixed 7 other US pipelines and the Israeli pipeline at the behest of his buddy Estrogen
As one of “those” that they loathe so much, all I can say is that that the feelings are a whole lot more than just
mutual”.
And they have the absolute gall to try and rally us around the diaper-wrapped, pig-faced dimwit after years of lampooning us, insulting us, trying to humiliate us, making fun of us, calling us every name in the book, etc.
They can all go ESAD.
FJB, FHUH, FDNC.
Israel has a large population of Russian Jews. Regarding both, the insanity of the US giving away the farm to Iran while penalizing the Saudis for the war in Yemen is pushing both countries to seek leverage elsewhere.
We are the great Satan.
Jarret. U.S align with Iran. Well Uncle Sam, you get what you pay for. Goood luck
Most hilarious is that the Iranians continue to give Biden the cold shoulder, and same for Venezuela. Their demands are absurd as well.
I think discouraging exploration is stupid but this statement is just wrong.
US oil and gas production are both up since Biden took office.
