Cardin: ‘We Need to Accelerate’ Getting Off Fossil Fuels Because Oil Price Is Manipulated by Other Countries
Breitbart ^ | 11/27/2021 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 11/27/2021 2:15:26 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Alex Witt Reports,” Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) argued that changes in the price of gas are one reason why “we have to accelerate our program to get off of fossil fuels” and control of the oil supply by other countries is “another reason why we need to accelerate our efforts to get off of fossil fuels.”

Cardin said, “The challenge, of course, is we have to transition off of the fossil fuels to renewable fuels. We need to do that for our economy. We need to do it for our environment. We need to do it for our national security and not to have these variants in the price of gasoline at the pump. So, for all of those reasons, we have to accelerate our program to get off of fossil fuels. And that leads us to what the Senate’s going to be taking up when we come back, the balanced budget, the build back better budget that is — very much contains a commitment to the climate agenda.”

Also opposes nuclear, opposes natural gas, opposed domestic oil and will certainly oppose wind farms the moment someone proposes them with 20 miles of his lobbyist-funded estate, too, I’m sure.

Hey idiot. Let’s try developing our own oil and gas reserves. Maybe that would help? No?

NO fossil fuels in the US means no US military and absolute defenseless vulnerability to the entire world. Is that just too obvious for someone in DC to object to this “end fossil fuel madness” on those grounds?

Never here much from this fossil except when he’s running for re-election, then he dredges out the stupid “My Friend Ben” TV ads and the Maryland idiots lap it up and check his box.

He’s obviously too stupid to breathe without instructions.

Funny, during President Trump’s term, foreign outfits did not dictate prices.

Agreed. We need to frack more and get the fossil fuels out of our own ground.

Hard to believe that the Dims are marginally successful in anything when each day we learn just how DUMB they are.

This is why we Marylanders shake our heads in dismay. He has never been more than lackluster.
