Do either of these organizations sound like they can lower American gas prices? Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm thought they might —in fact, she’s excited about them.

On the Biden Administrations lurch to the left, we find Secretary Granholm holding an event called Our Time is Now: Latinx Leaders on Climate Action. It’s all part of the admin’s “efforts to usher in an equitable clean energy future.”

Sounds like woke lip-service, but go on…

“Activists who attended include members from organizations called Queer Brown Vegan and Earth Uprising,” the Washington Free Beacon reports. “Earth Uprising in April 2021 demanded ‘no new fossil fuel infrastructure, and existing fossil fuel extraction must be ceased, including all pipelines.’ Queer Brown Vegan also calls for the elimination of all fossil fuels and endorses ‘zero waste’ as ‘an ancestral BIPOC practice.’”

“We are looking at everything within the Department of Energy, every single program that we have … and asking how is this helping communities that have been left behind, how do we increase diversity in innovation, and how do we ensure we have underserved communities at the table and listening to make sure we’re getting this right,” Granholm said at the event.

“The Energy Department’s equity initiatives explicitly contradict Biden’s claim that he is doing everything in his power to lower the price of gas, which sits at more than $4.10 a gallon,” WFB adds.

That’s right. And instead of lowering gas prices for everyday folks by unleashing America’s true energy-producing potential, the DOE is pandering to the far-left of the Democratic party.

“The Department’s mission areas touch upon equity and provide an opportunity to advance justice,” the Energy Department’s report reads. “From the households grappling with issues of energy burden and energy insecurity, to the universities advancing basic research with Department funds and the business and community based organizations that partner with DOE to deliver on its mission, the Department has an extraordinary reach.”

Energy equity. Energy justice. Let’s just make it affordable enough for everyone to use.

“Virtually every major domestic policy announcement made by the Biden administration mentions ‘equity,’ WFB continues. “Biden’s budget mentions the word more than 100 times, such as in its pledge to land the first black woman on the moon. Another White House report, called the ‘Gender Equity Plan,’ claimed eliminating cash bail for violent criminals is critical to promoting “’gender equity and equality.’”

I’m willing to wager most people in the DOE can’t even explain equity as it relates to energy. But here we are, betting Americans’ hard-earned dollars on Queer Brown Vegan.

Drill, Biden. Drill.
