Biden's war on American energy made us dependent, again​


Once, during a meeting with then-presidential candidate Donald Trump inside Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York, we discussed energy policy. I told Trump that if we went all out to produce America's abundant supply of oil, gas and coal, the United States could be energy independent in four years.

Trump looked at me from behind his desk and shook his head. "I don't want America to be energy independent. I want America to be energy dominant."

There are few issues where Trump and President Joe Biden have differed more broadly on policy than on energy production. Trump went full speed on fossil fuel production. He lifted drilling restrictions, especially in states such as Alaska and on federal lands in the continental states. He gave the green light to vitally needed pipelines. He blocked new extreme environmental regulations that were intended to choke off our oil and gas supplies. He recognized the shale oil and gas revolution as an unparalleled opportunity to reduce reliance on foreign oil.

The Trump energy policy was an astonishing economic success story. By January 2021, exactly a year ago and Trump's last month in office, for the first time in nearly 50 years, the U.S. was producing more oil than we were consuming. We imported no net oil from Saudi Arabia and the OPEC cartel nations. We were also producing more oil and gas than the Russians and the Arabs.

Free at last.

Biden has come into office, and after one year, we have seen a 4% surplus of domestic oil and gas production fall to a 4% oil and gas deficit. We have gone from energy independence back to energy dependence. This is because Biden has declared war on American energy.

He has killed pipelines and reversed almost all of Trump's pro-drilling policies. In early January, Biden stopped drilling on hundreds of thousands of potentially prime oil fields in Alaska. He is obsessed with climate change, so he loves wind and solar power and electric cars that don't use gasoline. But under even the most optimistic assumptions, we will be getting the majority of our electric power, heating oil and transportation fuels from fossil fuels for at least the next 25-30 years.

Maybe we can beg the Russians to give us a good deal on some oil, once they finish their Biden-approved Nord Stream pipeline.

In addition to increasing fuel prices due to his policies, he is sending that money out of the country. The vegetable doesn't have a clue.

Don't be a whiney bitch. Maybe you could write the oil companies and ask them to quit selling their oil on the international market, out of the goodness of their heart. Or since we are the 1st or 2nd largest exporter, maybe you could write all the other countries buying and ask them to turn off their factories, quit flying their planes and then the oil companies might just flood us with cheap oil. BUT I DOUBT IT.

New York has officially entered 5 dollars a gallon. Get ready, folks. It's going to be a mess during the holidays. If we thought lockdowns were bad last year. Wait till the next surge in prices.

You still call anyone you disagree with a commie? You anti-intellectual piece of shit.
What would you call someone who labels blatant market manipulation by executive order a free market. Tsk, tsk, tsk, if the shoe fits---and your shrill reply seems to indicate that it does, WEAR IT, YOU OWN IT.
