Opinion: Biden's climate czars want to fly private, live like kings, while you shiver in the cold
FOX News ^ | December 16, 2022 | By Sen. Tommy Tuberville

Years of attacks on reliable American energy sources — in the name of "green" policies — have taken us backward in our progress to produce affordable, accessible and clean energy. Global supply chain issues accelerated the consequences of these policies, leaving many Americans unable to afford gas and utilities.

Almost half of all American households use natural gas for heat, and the average family that relies on natural gas will have to pay 28% more to stay warm. As we inch closer to the coldest part of the year, we face the real threat of an energy crisis.

Earlier this year, one in six American households — more than 20 million families — had past-due utility bills because of skyrocketing costs. But even the unaffordability of basic necessities could not deter President Joe Biden and his allies from their campaign to spread fear of an imminent climate emergency. They live in comfort while everyday Americans pay the price for their agenda.

We must change course.

Fossil fuels are integral to every part of our lives, from their obvious use in transportation to their behind-the-scenes role in products we use every day.

We are nowhere near a world in which we can live without fossil fuels. Anyone who says otherwise, or promotes ideas that we can significantly curb our use in the next decade, is not living in reality. Unsustainable "green" policies and the relentless pursuit of eliminating fossil fuels are suffocating the American energy sector and increasing our reliance on foreign crooks and criminals for energy and oil.

All of this hardship for American families has been in the name of fighting back against a so-called "climate crisis" that has yet to materialize. But the energy crisis is here.

We cannot restore our economy until we revive our energy sector.

Conservatives are fully aware of the disparity. Liberals are too stupid, and to stoned (from weed), to understand the difference.

We can outlaw drugs, but we can't fix stupid. And until liberals stop voting for RAT scum, we'll never fix the country. And, they're never going to stop voting for RATs.

Today's elite resent little people traveling in first class and disturbing their sense of being “elite.” Or dining at their restaurants or skiing their slopes. How dare we!

Nothing a few dozen manpads from the Afghanistan withdrawal couldn’t solve.

So when the Greeniacs have their worldwide conferences on climate change they take their limos to the airport, board their private lets, fly to conference, wine and dine on the world’s best food and wine, issue a statement telling the plebes they need to eat bugs and ride a bike instead of car, fly back to their country, ride their limos home and enjoy more fine food and wine.

Orwell best described it in his book Animal Farm …”all animals are equal, but some more equal than others”. Totalitarian states are run by an elite ruling class that has no want for luxuries while the rest of the population lives in misery. Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea, China…this list goes on.

I’m surprised Paul Ryan let Fox run this.

HydroCarbons rule.
