Joe Biden's transportation secretary, Pete Buttigieg, has a smarmy, smiling message for all of us pudknocker Americans who don't quite buy into the 'going green' agenda of the Bidenites:
BUTTIGIEG: “Until we achieve a form of energy independence that is based on clean energy,” get used to price hikes. pic.twitter.com/UMWBrVPe9R — RNC Research (@RNCResearch) April 3, 2022
Here's what he actually said:
...so, less dependent on foreign oil, and that protects us from shortages at fuel stations, but here's the thing to remember, even if all of the oil we use in the U.S.A. were made in the U.S.A., the price of it is still subject to powers and dynamics outside of the U.S.A. Which means that until we achieve a form of energy independence that is based on clean energy created here at home, American citizens will still be vulnerable to wild price hikes like we are seeing right now...
..which is smug, certain, smiling, and ... and a very odd message to shill out to the American public as gas prices hit $5.85 a gallon on average in California and $4.26 nationally, and midterms beckon.
It's an astonishingly ignorant and charlatan-like statement.
Buttigieg argues that domestically produced green energy is somehow not subject to global price swings, while only oil and natural gas somehow are.
How do we unpack this?
To start, he apparently has never heard of all the gas and coal it takes to fire up all those electrical servicing stations, so 'bzzzt!, wrong, Pete!' Electrical charging stations and virtually all green energy 'alternatives' are highly dependent on oil and gas prices, as well as other global commodity prices such as lithium, cobalt, and other rare earth minerals well ensconced in the hands of players like China.

The Democrat Party versus the American people.
Again.
beatings will continue until morale improves
Buttgigger has brain damage from too much butt sex.
The Democrat Party and Assistant Democrats vs the American people.
“Let them eat cake!”—Buttigieg
Can’t wait until this whole administration is gone. Let’s hope it happens in 2024.
Can someone in a press conference ask that smug SOB where the “clean energy” to power those electric vehicles is supposed to come from. If he says wind and solar, point to the rolling brownouts last year in TX that were caused because they relied on solar and wind to generate power. What happens when tens of thousands of people “plug in” to recharge their 1000lb batteries each night? This guy’s is a clown who is way over his head in a job he has no clue how to manage.
The Uniparty has declared war on the American people....
While howling Russia, Russia, Russia.
I suspect that part of the Ukrainian debacle has to do with the Democrats desire to raise fuel prices without taking the blame.
The youth are unhappy with high prices and lack of affordable rentals. Biden escorting more illegals in who will require housing.
Green = communism.
It's not a green energy vs fossil fuel argument. It's a personal independence vs depending on government policies argument.
I think fossil fuels are way more efficient than solar. But I put solar on my house because I control it, unlike natural gas and the power from the utility. It produced 56% of all the power I consumed since I installed it, even though my house is all-electric. The costs of the 44% of power I purchased from my utility are still subject to gubment bureaucrats (both federal and local). But at least the other half isn't.
what about electricity prices? Will that stay the same if we all get electric cars?
Failure as mayor of South Bend, but that didn’t matter. He filled the “homo” checkbox for the Dems.
Indoctrinated Americans not only agree with him, they cheer his attitude.
Yes, indeed. And Nancy Pelosi has some advice for anyone who complains.
Yeah, that’ll go over real good at election time, Pete. Cya’ in November.
By 2024 there won’t be anything left to save.
A fool will always believe there is a utopia and a leprechaun.
