Biden admin, Dems wage war on US oil and gas industry
FOX News.com ^ | February 9, 2022 | Pete Sessions

The Biden administration and Democrats have waged war on the American oil and gas industry, all while Russia expands its oil and gas footprint around the world. Off the bat, resident Biden canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline, stopped leasing on federal lands, and unleashed regulations that have destroyed at least 10,000 good-paying oil and gas jobs.

As a member of Congress, it is my duty to inform the public and stand up against flawed regulations that will impede or damage the lives of the American people. With many crises facing the nation like record high gas prices, inflation, and the onslaught against American energy independence, we must continue to fight to bring stability to this country and further American exceptionalism.

Last year, Democrats on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform began to complement the Biden administration’s agenda during a hearing with four major energy companies represented, ExxonMobil, BP, Chevron and Shell Oil. Those in the majority berated the executives from these companies with accusations of lying regarding their actions on combating climate change.

Despite these companies being industry leaders when it comes to technology and innovation to reduce carbon emissions, Democrats have attempted to depose these executives to further their agenda. This has been done by issuing countless legal document requests and holding hearings meant for partisan show, rather than gain.

Don’t forget the stooges in the financial industry pushing the companies to virtually kill themselves by forcing them to adapt to emission standards far beyond what can be accomplished by placing cronies on the boards like on Exxon’s.

As the cost of fuel rises, the EV option becomes progressively more competitive. This is the reason for stifling supply in the face of rising demand— to encourage pro-EV policy making.

I drove past the station I usually fill up at and gas is $.20 cents higher than when I filled up on Monday.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal agenda is now governing the future of NYC pension funds, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced before leaving office.


De Blasio turns $8B in NYC pension funds over to AOC-driven Green New Deal investments

Self-described socialist AOC was on hand at City Hall Thursday as the city politicians, each with less than three months left in office, pushed $8 billion in investments to her Green New Deal agenda — detailing their commitment of the Big Apple’s pension investments to climate-friendly companies.

The $8 billion through 2025 amounts to a down payment toward a previously stated commitment by de Blasio for $50 billion in pensions funds invested in green-minded companies.

“I want to give credit where credit is due. It took vision and it took an incredible sense of what is possible and how to push the spectrum and reset our imaginations and we got that from a great leader,” de Blasio said during his daily press briefing, before introducing AOC, who joined Hizzoner on the dais amid negotiations on President Biden’s spending bill.

“Thank you so much for changing people’s minds, and resetting the entire sense of the possible with the Green New Deal. It is extraordinary,” the far-left Bronx-Queens Democrat said.

“What you did changed debate in this country permanently and that’s one of the highest callings I can imagine, to help people see a new reality,” Ocasio-Cortez gushed.

The mayor and comptroller on Thursday morning detailed a plan for three city pension funds to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in their investment portfolios by 2040.

The blueprint includes a goal to double investments in renewable energy and “green real estate” to over $8 billion by 2025 and invest more than $37 billion in “climate solutions investments” by 2035, according to the mayor’s office.

The stupidity is amazing. The same amount of oil is getting produced, Biden is seeing to it that other countries do more producing while we do less.

Stupid because we should have those high paying jobs.

Stupid because we are the cleanest producer/refiner.

Ukraine gets screwed, NATO falls apart, Putin gets more powerful, Communism spreads even faster, we all get hosed at the pump, and 10% goes to the “big guy”.

Combating climate change:

Have an umbrella handy in case it rains.

Wear a wide-brimmed hat on bright sunny dayz.

Bundle up well when confronted by wintry weather.

The end.

“..Brandon’s handlers and his medical team hate American energy...”

They just outright hate America, period.
This country would be waaaaayyyyy better off if the democratic party was labelled a domestic terrorist organization and banned from our shores.
These godless, corrupt, commie POSs have done NOTHING for the USA and/or her People.
