President Joe Biden suggested record gas prices were part of an incredible transition away from fossil fuels Monday in Japan.

“When it comes to the gas prices,” the president stammered for a moment. “We’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that God willing when it’s over we’ll be stronger, and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over.”
Biden then mentioned his decision to ease rising gas prices by releasing 180 million barrels of oil from emergency stockpiles in late March, though he noted it hasn’t been effective.

A true Washington gaffe… inadvertently speaking the truth.
For openers, we are NOT going through an “incredible transition” from fossil fuels. The energy transition is ONLY in it’s infancy. The technology does NOT EXIST to rapidly replace fossil fuels. All the President’s staff would have to do is get a copy of the EIA 2022 Energy Outlook to realize we are FAR from the “Next Big Thing” in energy. That, and no creditable, peer reviewed engineering analysis exists to demonstrate that wind & solar will EVER be anything than a “side show” in our domestic energy system. Instead of incentivizing the WRONG strategies in the market (i.e., EV’s, batteries, biofuels), tampering with the allocation of resources & directing research towards “renewables” (instead of modular nuclear & fusion), the BEST THING this Administration could do at this stage is BUTT OUT of the discussion before they do any more DAMAGE! Energy imperatives will drive the upcoming energy transition over the DECADES to come, not ideology, wishes & dreams. The sooner the electorate figures out this SCAM, the better… .
So when will Biden and the rest of the Washington D.C. stuffed Shirts be using EV when will Biden use a peddle powered Pane instead of Air Force One how soon will the UN use Solar Panels when will Gore and DiCaptio take up living in Grass Huts? Its time the Eco-Freaks,Go Green,Keep it in the Ground iidots started putting their money where their mouths are
We’ve all known that the destruction of America will come from within our government; Biden our chief teleprompter reader has lit the fuse! He and in particular his handlers apparently believe America must be destroyed to save Earth from climate change.
