If Sleepy Joe can stay awake, there's nowhere he can run from his record on energy. If you need a refresher, here's the latest 225 actions his administration have taken to make it harder to produce American energy.


Washington Examiner (6/27/24) reports: "Former President Donald Trump is expected to go after President Joe Biden for many of his climate and energy policies Thursday night in Atlanta as they square off in the first 2024 presidential debate. Unlike previous debates, including those between Trump and Biden in 2020, Thursday’s showdown is unique because both men onstage will have served almost a full first term in office, giving each other plenty of ammo. Trump is expected to argue that Biden’s efforts to boost clean energy and limit carbon emissions have weakened U.S. national security and energy dominance, leaving the nation vulnerable to adversaries like Russia and China. 'I don’t think these two candidates could be any further and distinctly different on energy issues than they have been,' Dan Kish, the senior vice president of the American Energy Alliance, a conservative-aligned advocacy group, told the Washington Examiner in an interview. Trump will likely focus primarily on restoring fossil fuel production and exporting energy to allies...The president of the American Energy Alliance authored a report this week outlining more than 220 actions that the group says Biden and his allies have taken in the past three years to restrict energy production, which Kish told the Washington Examiner illustrates the wide range of activities that Trump could seize on in the debate to go after Biden."

"But ESG is not in the definition of sustainable. Rather, it is a subjective rating scheme promoting environmental and social causes that progressives favor. We can debate the merits of those causes, but an honest debate requires not placing misleading labels on them."

Not content with blocking new pipelines, Big Green, Inc. is now targeting America's existing critical infrastructure. 


Epoch Times (6/26/24) reports: "Environmental activists have filed a legal petition with the federal government in hopes of shutting down the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, which at its peak transported 25 percent of the oil produced in America. The Trans-Alaska Pipeline 'is approaching the end of its useful life due to mounting climate change-driven damages to both the aging pipeline infrastructure and the entire Arctic ecosystem, as well as the imperative for the United States to rapidly transition away from fossil fuel-based energy,' the petition states. The coalition filing the petition includes the Center for Biological Diversity, Pacific Environment, Sovereign Iñupiat for a Living Arctic, Alaska Community Action on Toxics, Fairbanks Climate Action Coalition, and Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility. The petition was filed with Debra Haaland, Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Stretching for 800 miles with a diameter of 48 inches, the Trans-Alaska Pipeline is among the world’s largest pipelines, delivering oil extracted in Alaska’s North Slope to Valdez, the northernmost ice-free port in North America."

Even a broken clock can be right around election time.

Mining for Biden's Big Green Dream get's messy once you block development in the U.S.


The Guardian (6/25/24) reports: "In the vast white desert of the Salinas Grandes, Antonio Calpanchay, 45, lifts his axe and slices the ground. He has worked this land since he was 12, chopping and collecting salt, replenishing it for the seasons ahead and teaching his children to do the same. 'All of our aboriginal community works here, even the elders,' he says, sheltering his weathered face from the sun. 'We always have. It is our livelihood.' As his son watches on warily, Calpanchay points north, to a deviation from the plain’s blistering white – a heap of black stone and mud. 'They started looking for lithium there in 2010,' he says. 'We made them stop; it was hurting the environment and affecting the water. But now they are back and I am afraid. Everything we have could be lost.'...Lithium, a silvery metal known as white gold, is an essential component of mobile phone and electric car batteries; its global demand is predicted to rise more than fortyfold by 2040. But its exploitation has also fuelled a moral debate, one that pits the green energy transition against the rights of local and Indigenous peoples. For 14 years, the 33 Atacama and Kolla Indigenous communities have banded together to halt mining operations, fearful that their water resources will be lost or contaminated and that they will be forced from their land."
