America is experiencing the cost of Biden's fealty to the greens.
Daily Caller (7/18/22) op-ed: "President Joe Biden’s attempts to reduce the cause of high gas prices to the war in Ukraine initially, and corporate greed more recently, are disingenuous. On day one this president clearly stated his opposition to oil and gas production and development. The president’s words and even more so his actions, have serious impacts on the costs of commodities, including oil. For example, in January of 2021, the president signed an executive order announcing a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on public lands. They only began selling new leases again in April of 2022 after prices had begun to rise rapidly, and the public pressure to do something about it was intensifying. On March 28, 2021, the Treasury Department released its Green Book, proposing revenue measures to be implemented in 2022 for fiscal year 2023, including more than $150 billion in tax increases that will affect oil and gas. On April 16, 2021, Biden directed Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland to revoke 12 Trump-era policies promoting American energy. These include SO 3349 on 'American Energy Independence,' SO 3350 'America-First Offshore Energy Strategy' and importantly, SO 3355, 'Streamlining National Environmental Policy Reviews and Implementation of Executive Order 13807, ‘Establishing Discipline and Accountability in the Environmental Review and Permitting Process for Infrastructure Projects,’' which would have streamlined the NEPA review process in order to allow energy projects to be developed in a more consistent and logical manner without arbitrary and capricious barriers put in place through the review process."

"Temperatures in Texas climbed into the triple digits this week but this isn’t unusual. The problem is that wind power faltered, as it often does during hot spells...Temperatures in Texas climbed into the triple digits this week but this isn’t unusual.
