“But, kiddo, I want you to just take a look, OK? You don’t have to agree, but I want you to look in my eyes. I guarantee you, I guarantee you we are going to end fossil fuel and I am not going to cooperate with them, OK?”
That was then-candidate Biden at a campaign stop in 2019; he’s never been secretive about his extremist climate agenda. Americans shouldn’t be surprised that he’s readying executive orders on climate or that skyrocketing gas prices (currently $4.60 a gallon) are intentional.
That’s right —high gas prices are a feature, not a bug. Biden told us who he was at that campaign stop in 2019 and his administration continues to wage war on American energy nearly 3 years later. Biden is running (shuffling) to the far left on climate —and we’re all along for the ride.
Just listen to energy adviser Amos Hochstein during a recent CNN interview.
“It’s about making a choice between what is the short term and the medium term so we can make sure we have enough oil and gas to support us through the transition and what are the kind of steps we don’t want the oil and gas industry to take that would have long term consequences when we don’t want new major projects that would take 20-30 years that would become profitable,” Hochstein said. “So we have to make that differentiation to make sure the American consumer has what it needs to grow, grow our economy and the global economy, but not take steps and endanger the climate work that we’re trying to do to make sure that we’re on a better footing to accelerate the transition.”
In summation, climate takes priority. And there’s that phrase: “accelerate the transition.”
Where else have we heard that before? Oh, right —John Kerry.
During a recent sitdown, climate czar Kerry insisted that America was “behind” in meeting its climate goals and that we’d have to “accelerate the transition” in order to catch up.
Maybe fewer trips on your private jet can help America hit its goal, Mr. Kerry.
Hochstein and Kerry are out of touch with the challenges everyday Americans are facing. And so is Joe Biden —this is his mess, after all. Just look at Day One executive order 13990: Protecting Public Health and the Environment and Restoring Science To Tackle the Climate Crisis.
According to Hot Air, “Biden’s executive order imposed all sorts of new costs and regulatory hurdles on new and expanded investment in oil and natural gas production and refining. Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline that would have expedited delivery of Canadian crude to US refiners. Rather than relent on his energy policy, Biden keeps doubling down on it while offering temporary gimmicks and begging other countries to increase output instead.”
Biden won’t fix gas prices —he will only push to “accelerate the transition.”
