Brace for it: Energy prices in America are going to get much worse than we’ve ever imagined
American Thinker ^ | 09/10/2023 | Andrea Widburg

Posted on 09/10/2023 7:22:50 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Last week, Joe Biden canceled all drilling in Alaska on federal land. Separate from the fact that no president should have that kind of power over the American economy and lifestyle, he paired it with another executive order that will make fuel more expensive than Americans have ever imagined.

Joe Biden promised during his basement campaign for the presidency that he was going to “end fossil fuel”:

The former vice president and Democratic presidential candidate made the comment Friday after a New Hampshire environmental activist challenged him for accepting donations from the co-founder of liquified natural gas firm.

Biden denied the donor’s association to the fossil fuel industry before calling the young woman “kiddo” and taking her hand. He said, “I want you to look at my eyes. I guarantee you. I guarantee you. We’re going to end fossil fuel.”

Many assumed that Biden was just pandering to the base. He was not. His executive orders have aggressively attacked fossil fuel (although not in China). As part of these orders, Biden immediately placed a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal lands.

Again, the Founders never intended to give the executive this much power over every aspect of American life. After all, fossil fuel underlies modern America. It’s not just cars.

Every single thing in your house, including your food and drugs, and in your office place is dependent on fossil fuel. It is an ingredient in the goods we use, as well as the energy that manufactures them and gets them to market. It also enables all modern food production, from planting, to fertilizer, to harvesting, to getting to the grocery store. Without it, we revert to the pre-modern instantly. Yet Biden is slashing away at this fundamental, existential resource like a tyrant.

It’s all part of the Plan.

Many assumed that Biden was just pandering to the base. He was not.

I believe that when Hitler wrote "Main Kampf", his basic theme was "Germany should take over Europe, and kill all the Jews". His book was a bestseller. What a guy! What rousing political stuff! That's the way to thrill the public!

Then Hitler tried to take over Europe, and kill all the Jews and at least some people said, ""Gosh, I didn't think he meant it."

Biden’s energy policies will kill as many or even more people than Mao’s Great Leap forward. As long as he has pre pubescent girls to diddle, he is more than happy to let Commie liars such as Obama and Susan Rice to run the show.

Biden is nothing more than a puppet. He is being told what to say and what to do.

“I want to make sure that you understand what is about to happen so you can prepare.

Biden canceled all of the Alaska drilling on Federal land. At the same time he stopped allowing liquid natural gas from being transported by train.

That leaves the only mode of transportation by trucking. About 2 months ago the largest trucking company went out of business:

Yellow, one of the nation’s largest freight and trucking companies, announced it is shutting down, leading to one of the largest mass layoffs in recent history and potential shipping cost increases. The company is in bankruptcy just three years after getting a $700 million loan from taxpayers.

So that is going to create a massive supply chain issue of liquid natural gas which means your utility bills as well as the price of gas is going to skyrocket.

Biden used 300 million gallons of gas from our reserves to keep the gas prices artificially low. They can’t do that anymore. They have set us up in every way to purposely make gas prices and utility prices skyrocket so fill all of your gas cans, buy propane ect NOW while you can still afford it.”

Socialism is the feudalism of the future, anonymous.

Scratch a Marxist and you get a medievalist

Yep. The president is supposed to carry out laws, not make laws.

There are two checks on presidential overreach: impeachment by Congress and intervention by federal courts. We all know Congress won’t act. Will the courts?

(probably not)

They love the feeling of power. It's more addictive than cocaine, and the only antidote involves a rope and a tree.

“Keep in mind that Biden does not own federal land. We the people own federal land.”

No Andrea, we do not. The almighty Government owns all Federal Land. We can use it only with their permission. If you don’t believe me, try it sometime and see how quick their Stasi decends on your butt.
