An intelligent U.S. president assessing the current energy situation would conclude that now might be a good time to loosen regulations on oil and gas drilling, rethink the Keystone XL Pipeline project and maybe open up drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. After all, the world has suddenly become a more dangerous place, and energy independence is essential to national security.
Nope.
With oil prices at record highs, and likely heading higher, the Biden administration refuses to put the brakes on its anti-fossil-fuels agenda. President Joe Biden and his minions have made it clear they’re not about to let a little old war in Ukraine get in the way of their green dreams.
Brian Deese is the director of the president’s National Economic Council. As he commented on the path to energy independence outside the White House on Tuesday afternoon, Deese’s words recalled the old slogan, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, then baffle them with mind-numbing, incomprehensible, hogwash.”
“The only viable path to energy independence for the American economy is to reduce the energy intensity of our economy overall. And ultimately to reduce it to zero and get ourselves to a position where we’re no longer reliant on fossil fuels,” he told Bloomberg.

AMEN. So, evidently they expect the 1%ers (who own electric vehicles) to do all the trucking, shopping (grocery and non-perishable goods)... for the other 99%ers.
Do they ever do any common sense critical thinking??
“And when people are starving and freezing in the dark, no worries — we’ll just blame it on Trump and the Republicans!”
The media will package the claim in nice digestible pieces, and the American public will swallow that sh!t.
The Alaska fields were an issue in the Carter/Reagan race.
Meanwhile, Gas costs less than $2.00 per gallon in Russia.
The global elitists want US to live like The Flintstones, while they live like The Jetsons.

This whole set of political episodes reminds me of one of the worst movies ever made: Americathon.

The guy is a class a a..h..e. Has like zero background in anything aside from having been given a plumb job at Blackrock running their ESG business.
Brian Deese is an idiot.
To his face.

Make America Cuba again. 😆
The wonderful goal. All America needs to do to attain this paradise is STARVE TO DEATH, FREEZE TO DEATH, BURN TO DEATH.
Idiocy knows no bounds with the Left, be assured.
The liberals buy into and support this. They also think Electricity comes from a box on the wall.
Show us how it’s done. Get your president to sign an EO that as of tomorrow no federal employee will purchase fossil fuel.
I'd bet his "carbon footprint" is huge...compared to mine.
Good gosh...I hate idiots.
So brian, you like your shoes ?
Too bad, mainly oil products.
How about your food ?
Too bad, fertalizer mainly oil.
How about your clothes ?
Mainly oil.
How about your soap, shampoo, cologn, antiperspirant ?
Too bad.
Like your EV ?
Too bad, mainly oil.
So walk.
Anything not made of wood, leather, stone or metal comes from oil.
Moron.
These people should be arrested as part of a fraud indictment.
Can we mine all the components to build batteries in the US?
What’s going to power all those clean energy things?
The only way to make is livable again is . .
. . Burn It Down!
(Makes about as much sense as the current gummint's insane solution to the Biden-caused "energy crisis."
People like “Brain” here who argue against “fossil fuels” have never gotten the smell of diesel on them working at an actual job.
