The US economy officially entered recession in July after two straight quarters of negative GDP growth.
Inflation in the US today is the highest its been in over 40 years.
Gas prices are soaring and peaked over $5 a gallon before receding slightly to their current rate.
Granholm announced in August, “We know it’s a transition. But ultimately we are pressing on the accelerator to be able to move to ‘clean’ because if we don’t have to rely on the volatility of fossil fuels or of countries that are exporting fossil fuels that don’t have our interests at heart.”
The US was an energy exporter before Biden entered the White House.
On Tuesday Biden’s energy “advisor” joined with Granholm and pushed for the US government to “accelerate the transition” to green energy.
Despite the historic economic pain inflicted by the Biden regime, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm is resolved to finish off the middle class once and for all.
The left does not care about working Americans. They only care about pushing their global warming religion. It does not matter if they destroy the middle class in the process. They can always eat bugs.
Breitbart.com reported:
On Tuesday, Biden energy adviser Amos Hochstein sounded off about the president considering declaring a climate emergency that would allow him to limit drilling in the United States.

This is an example of a sociopath.
This gerbil better get in his exercise wheel to start providing me with the work [electricity] I’m still going to want to use every day.
Is there any recourse to this, or are we expected to “just lie back and enjoy it”?
Just like killing a patient to make their cold go away faster.
But ultimately we are pressing on the accelerator to be able to move to ‘clean’ because if we don’t have to rely on the volatility of fossil fuels or of countries that are exporting fossil fuels that don’t have our interests at heart

Of course. It should be obvious to anyone that the wind blows 24/7 and the sun does likewise. Whereas politicians can interrupt the flow of fossil fuels with the wave of the hand.
Idiots.
The real solution: let the market and the energy producers decide. And don’t subsidize your buddies with government grants.
Without fossil fuel, oil, petrochemicals...
you can’t make windmills,
solar panels,
or anything else for that matter.
Progressing to the stone age.
Way to go progs .
This is the stooge that tells Biden what to do. But who does he really work for? Who are the donors that are telling him what Biden has to do, what Biden has to say? Who are the real people in charge?
We need to limit bad advisors promoting really bad ideas to a feeble old greedy moron desperately trying to hold onto the power he was installed into and steal as much wealth as his last months can provide.
Never let a crisis go uncreated, or, if found to exist, go unstoked.
These people are utterly depraved.
We are at war with the Davos crowd which includes a big chunk of our own government.
This climate change garbage started in the late 60’s (Granted the Cuyahoga River was starting on fire and when we would go to the beach at Lake Michigan we’d have to spend the first half hour picking up dead fish (and whacking your siblings with them if your mom wasn’t looking) and we did need to clean up.)
But the ruling elites started Earth Day in 1970 and have been using it ever since to try to control.
If we need more oil this Winter, we can smelt these Green traitors.
and before anyone spouts off about getting rid of fossil fuels.... ask them this question. (remember Organic Chemistry class?)
If we quit drilling for oil..... how are we going to make
1. Medicines.... over 98% of medications are made by compounds refined and built by oil .... from the ground. Not solar panel compounds, wind compounds...
...... and a couple of these things are made using petroleum refined and distilled products... here are just a couple
. 2. Fertilizer is made by using chemicals that are petroleum based and chemical reactions that are created using carbon based benzene rings and other “organic” compounds combined with benzene and ammonia.
3 Anything plastic...
4. Any computer chip.
5. Any instrument that is used to measure ANYTHING.
6. OR Solvents HOW DO WE MAKE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING??? ...
Diesel fuel, Motor Oil, Bearing Grease Ink, Floor Wax, Ballpoint Pens, Upholstery
Boats, Insecticides, Fishing lures Dresses, Tires, Golf Bags
Perfumes, Caulking , Petroleum Jelly, Antiseptics Food Preservatives, Soap,

Movie film, Contact lenses ,Drinking Cups Fan Belts, Shaving Cream, Refrigerators,
Golf Balls, Toothpaste
There is no magic fairy that just whips out a wand and makes chemical compounds. Now you know why “inflation” due to failure to obtain or ban oil is going to be incredibly difficult to reverse.... and we are literally committing suicide by banning oil drilling. Just ask the environmentalists that question....
“If we need more oil this Winter, we can smelt these Green traitors.”
Smelting is used to extract metals.
Transition to what? EVs can’t meet the needs of most people let alone businesses. American agriculture runs on diesel fuel and even the best battery technology won’t get crops planted or harvested. The country is on the verge of large scale blackouts largely caused by increasing reliance on fickly solar and wind energy. Our electric grid could not support even a fraction of the cars on the road being EVs.
Beat me to to it:
I realize that electric trucks are starting to roll out, but I don’t recall John Deere making any electric farm machinery.
End fossil fuels like this government idiot wants, and people will starve!
