Middle-class Americans don’t need an economist or political scientist to tell them there’s something wrong with the economy. They realize it every time they put gas in their tanks or have to pay more for groceries.
The financial security of many families is now in jeopardy because the Biden Administration cares more about appeasing radical environmentalists rather than securing America’s energy independence. [bold, links added]
It didn’t have to be this way. Under the previous administration, the United States was essentially energy independent.
That all changed, however, on January 20, 2021, with the Biden Administration’s unlawful recession of domestic energy production on multiple fronts; and it has further deteriorated throughout his first year in office and into this worldwide chaos centering on the Russian War in Ukraine.
Unfortunately, the Biden Administration refuses to restart the energy independence it inherited.
On its first week in office, it halted all new oil and gas leases on federal lands, which federal courts held were unlawful.
Then, after sanctioning the importation of Russian oil, liquefied natural gas, and coal to the United States, a White House delegation traveled to Venezuela to discuss “energy security,” according to former Press Secretary Jen Psaki.
But the United States should never be dependent on murderous thugs or despotic regimes for its energy needs.
President Biden remains beholden to leftwing climate activists, which is why he is vigorously opposing a return to successful energy policies.
Many of these radicals, who are now influencing or directing energy policies, are actively hampering production from private companies through market manipulation or allocation based on investment firm-imposed environmental, social, or governance (ESG) factors.
That’s why our office has launched an investigation of this potentially unlawful behavior.
There are many imprudent extreme energy policies of the Biden Administration, and the list continues to grow as this crisis broils into a catastrophe.
President Biden revoked a key permit to the Keystone Pipeline, ceased drilling for oil in Alaska, ballooned the “social cost of carbon,” and paused new oil and gas leases.
With a legacy like this on such a vital component of a functioning nation, it’s no wonder why Americans are being financially devastated at the gas pumps.
Though energy production is largely a federal matter, many states, like Arizona, have stepped up to use our tools to mitigate this Administration’s harmful actions and to hold it accountable to the rule of law.
Our office has taken numerous actions to challenge the Biden Administration’s sabotage of domestic energy production.
We joined a challenge to the Administration’s “Social Cost of Carbon” regulations, which are employed to limit energy production.
We similarly filed suit to challenge the Administration’s cancellation of the Keystone Pipeline.
We opposed the Biden Administration’s attempt to repeal rules allowing for the transportation of liquid natural gas by rail, which expands the access of U.S. citizens to the energy production of our own nation.
Americans deserve a president who is defending their interests and upholding the rule of law.
Tragically for Americans, Biden and his bureaucratic henchmen appear poised to double down on their radical energy policies to appease the chorus of fanatical special interest groups.
And it is particularly pernicious that this Administration’s lawlessness in the United States may be used to subsidize the lawless and brutal repression of the people of Venezuela.

Exactly! The Trudeau-Biden regressive energy policies reversed Trump’s incredible ENERGY INDEPENDENCE that the left fought against his entire presidency. These regressive fools have no idea that more CO2 from fossil fuels has made the environment greener, stronger, more drought-tolerant, and abundant. BECAUSE NO MOLECULE IN OUR ATMOSPHERE IS MORE IMPORTANT TO LIFE ON EARTH THAN CO2! AND THAT LIFE-GIVING MOLECULE HAS BEEN DANGEROUSLY AND INEXORABLY DECLINING FROM LIFE LUXURIANT LEVELS MORE THAN TWENTY TIMES TODAYS AT LIFE’S BIRTH. TIED UP IN LIFE ITSELF AND IN CARBONATE ROCKS. They have no idea that all life begins to starve at CO2 levels below 2,000ppm. Because they have no idea that the environment is built from little carbon sacks of water we call cells. These regressive left-wing anti-energy policies have driven inflation to its highest rates in decades – just because they hate Trump. The climate alarmist left fearmongers more CO2 because of their ignorance. They fear-monger sea level rise – then build their fear-built mansions on the sea shore! They claim falsely that the natural warming cycle that began in the 1600s is unprecedented. A complete fear-mongering lie. Our current climate is moving through a three million year (so far) normal, natural ongoing ice age we call the Pleistocene/Quaternary Ice Age. (The coldest range of temperature since multicellular life evolved) It has a normal, natural 100,000 year twelve degree C cycle of glacial/interglacial phases. And it has a shorter four degree C interglacial cycles within a cycle, each of which lasts nine hundred years. Our planet has experienced about five hundred of these “Eddy” cycles (Dr. Judith Curry) during our current ongoing ice age. Today’s warming half of the cycle began in the 1600s, a hundred years before the invention of the thermometer. The only reason we break thermometer high temperatures today is that the thermometer wasn’t around for the last five hundred interglacial warm periods over the last three million years. Recycling CO2 through fossil fuel use is the best contribution human beings have ever made to the environment. That is the science.
We were doing well under Trump then Biden steals the election with help from China and Russia and its mess the General Rule should be to never vote for anyone supported by the M.S. Media
