Gas prices too high? It’s all part of Biden’s plan to eliminate fossil fuels
NY Post ^ | June 13, 2022 | Betsy McCaughey

If you think gas prices are high now, just wait. They’re going much higher, thanks to President Biden’s “irreversible” plan to eliminate fossil fuels. Truth is, your pain at the pump is being planned and executed by the White House.

Over the weekend, buyers paid $5 a gallon or roughly $100 bucks to fill the tank.

Gas prices have doubled since Biden took office. J.P. Morgan analysts predict $6 a gallon by August. And experts warn this crisis will continue even after Biden’s term ends because he’s dismantling fossil fuel production.

When Biden was running for president, he promised to shut down oil producers: “No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period.” He pledged to put the country on “an irreversible” path toward “doing away with” fossil fuels.

On Day One as president, Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline, sending a message of no new pipelines anywhere, period.

In the months that followed, he stopped all sales of leases to drill on federal lands or offshore, meaning zero new leases allowing oil to be brought out of the ground.

And in September, House Democrats introduced legislation to stop banks from lending money or investing capital for new or expanded fossil fuel production. That legislation hasn’t passed, but it sent a clear message. The oil industry is being shut down.

This isn’t Biden’s plan, it’s the Kenyanesian Usurper’s plan, the one he told us about a long time ago to push gas to $6-7 a gallon to get us to buy electric cars or ride the bus.

Our economy is a petroleum based economy. It has been since post WWII. Charging $20 per gallon for fuel is not going to change that.

If I am adrift on the sea in a leaky boat, I don’t jump out of the boat into the water and start looking for another vessel, I keep my leaky one afloat while I look for another boat, and make the jump when it is safe to do so.

Biden just threw us all in the sea, burned our lifeboat and there isn’t even a piece of floatsam in sight.

If someone wanted to destroy America from within they would illegitimately install a sock puppet to do all these things.

Oh wait!

They apparently can't stand the fact that their might be a few non-ESG banks willing to lend to oil companies.

Nope... They’ll make the plea that it’s racist if we don’t have mail in voting because it’s too expensive to drive. Or they’ll send out checks to offset gas with a form to vote.

We’re not going to stop buying gasoline. It is a necessity that takes priority. We will only reduce spending on luxuries which will keep destroying the economy in its own way.

And the reason we won WWII (and why the Japs attacked Perl Harbor) was over access to oil, as well as our ability to refine it.

Without a vibrant, self sustaining petroleum based economy WE CANNOT WIN ANOTHER MAJOR MILITARY CONFLICT.

Killing our oil industry is quit literally treason.

Biden will be out of office in 2 1/2 years.

So, no worries after that.

Meanwhile, Biden and Kerry and most democrats, are going to make sure that enough damage is done to the oil industry and fossil-fuels in general, that it will take a long time, if ever, for oil/fossil-fuels to recover.

And, with more than half of the country having become poor or unable to take care of their families, democrats hope that people will vote them back in with promises of free-government services and free food and free housing and free college education and free everything.

Can’t afford gas or food or housing or clothes, not to worry, it’s all part of the democrat plans to take care of you and take over the economy and people’s lives. It’s not about killing fossil-fuels; it’s about control of everything, and killing fossil=fuels is just a means to an end.

I guess, at the end of the day, has anyone asked this administration how they intend to create the electricity to charge all the EVs they want on the road?

I saw a headline yesterday about states out west that are pushing back against CornPop’s desire to have charging stations all over the place. Apparently the infrastructure required just isn’t feasible or something like that.

Another government handout to the right folks, who’ll make millions and the people get screwed....as usual.

They will not completely eliminate them.
The elite/overlords..like John Kerry.. will freely use fossil fuels.
