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.

Unicorn farts.
The democrat party’s only true skill is misplacing blame for their idiocy. And they’re GREAT at it.
These are hard core ideologues. They’ll NEVER correct themselves. They’ll NEVER change. And you won’t vote them out either, the way things are going.
The main thing the Keystone XL pipeline does is to decrease the cost of gasoline in America by increasing the supply.
Because it was cancelled, a secondary option is to pipe it to the BC coast, load it on tankers and ship it to Asia.
Keystone XL would parallels an existing pipeline from Alberta Canada to Steele City Nebraska, where it would join another pipeline to Cushing Oklahoma, the major oil depot in the midwest. From there it would go to whoever buys it. Maybe exported, may be refined domestically.
But for the four year delay caused by Obama and the one year plus delay due to Biden, the pipeline would be operating right now.
Is he a mental patient?
Better idea.
Tell me so called independents are not going to vote again for these pieces of tchit. America lives in an alternate universe… and I live in an alternate America, so to speak.
Yeah we only have a few hundred yrs of fossil fuel left.
The only way to become financially independent is to dump all your money in a pile and light it on fire!!!
This is gibberish. And coming from the private jet and limousine set, it's worse than gibberish, it's class warfare.
These people are insane!
He might be machiavelian psychopath more than mental patient, per say. On the other hand, the American voter, the independents, so called, not just liberals, seem to me to suffer from mental illness in not seeing through this bull sht every turn. What will it take? $100 a gallon and selling sex on the streets?
Purely insane!
And when the rest of us can’t afford anything we need, the liberal pols assume they’ll still be comfortable and safe.
