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.

Untrue and insane.
Babylon Bee?
Oh good grief.
They ignore recent history and think that WE are absolutely stupid.
Just another way to support Putin while pretending doing the opposite
What a bunch of RICO behavior
So developing more of our own resources, fossil fuel resources, is not a viable path to energy independence???
Or does he mean, it is not viable to liberals???
“And when people are starving and freezing in the dark, no worries — we’ll just blame it on Trump and the Republicans!”
Mainlining the drug Dumb.
Nonsense.
Could someone kindly explain how the Keystone pipeline actually helps our energy independence? I really don’t know much about the petroleum industry, but from what I read it takes Canadian oil down to a port where it is shipped out of the country.
Thanks, honestly curious and would like to rebut or contextualize this information when it gets presented.
Brian Deese is gaslighting more treasonous excrement than hogwash.
We could also become “energy independent” if you just starved us all to death.
Wait! What?
...
What’s Brian’s 20?
That's a term liberals made up to scare the bejesus out of everybody into believing we're going to run out of these resources and we'll all freeze and die if we don't go green.
The creation of things like coal and oil is an ongoing geological process that occurs and continues for millions of years.
Sheesh.
November can’t come soon enough.

Very shortly many people around the world will be starving. Russia is a major producer of fertilizer. Without their fertilizer many crops will either underperform or fail.
That’s just the opposite.
There will never be a final drop of oil. But those final-ish drops will be expensive.
It can’t come soon enough if RCV is repealed wherever it’s in use and we go back to dumb voting machines.
Otherwise it’s SSDD.
(God help us if those RCV provisions that were in HR1 have been snuck into the omnibus.)

Use the stove? A beating.
Turn up the thermostat? A beating.
