Biden wants to cancel American energy prosperity on day one.

No surprises here...

Oil and gas to the rescue!

Washington Examiner (1/18/2021) column: "The oil and gas industry is the recipient of plenty of ire, but critics ought to realize that without it, the COVID-19 vaccination campaign would have no chance. For one, vaccines must be moved from manufacturing sites to administration sites, and figures from the Energy Information Administration show that 95% of the U.S. transportation system is fueled by oil and gas. Beyond that, Pfizer’s vaccine must be kept extremely cold at minus 70 degrees Celsius,while Moderna’s vaccine must be kept at minus 20 degrees Celsius. Some of the more common hydrocarbons such as propane, isobutene, and propylene are used as refrigerants. Without oil and gas, the refrigeration necessary for the storage of the vaccines would not be possible either. Then, there are the plastics and glass products needed to develop the vaccine and treat patients that are all products of the oil and gas industry. These unrecognized achievements typically get overlooked, but the Institute for Energy Research, a nonprofit group based in Washington, D.C., that favors free market policies, has just released a policy paper detailing how energy is rising to the challenge of COVID-19."
