Well, “President” Biden has, among other failings, created massive inflation and shortages of just about everything consumers want. High on this list is the cost of gas and oil which under President Trump gas was under $2.00 a gallon but now typically is $4.99.9. All in the Left’s endeavor to force us to “go green”. In a perfect world, there would be some miracle discovery(s) that would make green energy both efficient and cost-effective but to date, after decades of trying, science has achieved only very modest improvements none of which so far comes even close to those of fossil fuels. That is just a fact but the Left never lets facts get in the way of their political agenda. So, Ole’ Slow Joe buys right into the “go green” narrative and is trying to kill our fossil fuel energy system with nothing comparable on hand with which to replace it.
Biden is, if nothing else, consistent. Everything he does or tries results in failures piled on with disasters. Not willing to accept blame or take responsibility, he claims the cost of oil is due to “Putin’s War” or the “Greedy Oil Companies”; anything except his (the Left’s) policies, mandates, and incompetents refusing to accept facts as facts.
Now what’s the plan? Begging the Arab oil producers to increase production (and thus sales to U.S. and Europe? Especially as Europe would be less dependent on Russian oil enabling them to put more pressure on Putin to stop his invasion of Ukraine? But also so that Joe doesn’t have to tap our national strategic oil reserves for the third time?
Apparently everyone except Biden is supposed to fix the problem that he has created. Chevron CEO Michael Wirth wrote a response to “the President’s” demand that the oil companies help solve the problem by refining more oil. The response told Biden that Chevron was currently refining more oil in its history and in a fact-laden narrative placed the problems blame right back in the President’s lap where it belonged. Biden’s sarcastic response was he didn’t know Wirth was so sensitive. I guess straight talk from someone who actually knows the facts threatens poor Ol’ Joe’s perspective of his self-worth?
Okay so summer is here (kind of) but, so far, we have not become totally dependent on our A/C’s. Good thing because the latest news is our electric energy costs are going to double. Yup, that’s what the latest plan is that I recently read. Doesn’t sound good to me as here in NH we are already paying among the highest electricity rates of states for the stuff and, come November when heating oil/propane prices skyrocket, the two bills together are going to really really going to bite poor, retired and working families budgets. Even if you have a wood stove, unless you have the wood lot to supply yourself with, you can count on demand to drive up prices there, too. Can’t wait to hear Joe’s excuses for the coming winter sufferings that he and the Left will have bestowed on we poor and working citizens.
No doubt it will be someone else’s fault.
