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.

Ie go back to living in caves.🙄
Utter idiocy.
What’s going to power those manufacturing plants that process and package our foods? For instance, you can’t bake bread without ovens. That plastic wrap didn’t grow on trees. Brian Deese is just one more Leftnick chasing illusions of motherships at the end of the Santa Monica Pier.
Thanks. Makes sense.
Is leaded gas any cheaper to produce?
Lead improves octane when added to gasoline.
If a system is designed to use high octane it is more efficient.
But the current fleet is totally committed to catalytic converter emission controls which are not compatible with leaded fuels. Back in the late 70s we converted cars to use (cheaper) leaded fuels but you had to “gut” the catalytic converter to prevent plugging. This was before computer controlled closed loop fuel injection.
Is leaded gas any cheaper to produce?

Way way cheaper - today’s gas has the lead removed (cost), ethanol added (cost), special blended by region and season (cost, cost), etc.
Currently wholesale ethanol is about 65% of the cost of wholesale gasoline.
I’d like to once see someone - Peter Doocy? - ask Jen Psaki exactly WHERE the power comes from to charge these electric vehicles - and what their ‘green’ solution is to home heating in the foreseeable future.
(I’m looking forward to Spring, here; but dreading the Winter that comes later.)
What kind of beating? Like one would use on a rented mule maybe? Just for starters.
The only positions good for this leftist imbecile is bent over with legs spread and then tied to firing squad post!
From what I’ve read, yes. If there’s more oil available worldwide, then the price goes down. Canada is still producing that oil but they’re sending it via the original Keystone pipeline. However, without Keystone XL they’re not able to produce as much on a daily basis, which is something like 800,000 barrels less.
a guy on local radio called Congressman Delgado in upstate NY. He complained about energy prices. Delgado’s office tole them that the solution is to give more Heating energy assistance program (HEAP) dollars to people. The caller said why not develop more energy here and loser the prices. The Dem’s office was confused by that reason.
