Biden’s ‘War On Energy’ Is The Real Threat To U.S. National Security

bidenThe Biden energy policy is not just radically naïve and economically destructive; it’s also dangerous.

From placing constraints on drilling for oil and gas to stopping pipelines, the Biden policy puts America’s critical infrastructure at risk and the safety and freedom of allies in peril, and it dismisses the importance of American jobs to appease environmental extremists.

We don’t have to pit the environment against the economy. We can develop clean sources, create more American jobs, and develop more American energy.

Renewable energy companies today are creating thousands of American jobs, contributing significant investments in American manufacturing, and proving that they can stand on their own, competing with conventional generation on price.

But the investment in clean energy doesn’t mean we must be hostile to developing conventional fuels. The fact is, America should pursue an “all of the above” energy policy because it is in our national security interests to do so.

In recent years, America has seen major growth in our national solar power capacity as well as large-scale quantities of natural gas reserves, both of which are positive developments.

It means we are independent of Middle East and Russian gas, can add American jobs, and will have a cleaner planet.

But Washington Democrats’ extreme, progressive agenda would have us transition from our current 20 percent renewable sourcing to 100 percent of our national energy mix in only a few years.

This is dangerously naïve, as we can only reliably transition the U.S. electrical grid by 2 percent per year to renewable power (up from 1 percent per year today).

When America exports its oil and gas, our friends and allies are less dependent on hostile sources of energy. European nations receiving American LNG are less reliant on a Russian dictator’s whims.

In this sense, our energy resources are part of our security arsenal, just as much as our weapons capabilities. Their deployment makes the world safer.

President Biden would make the world more dangerous to advance empty environmental talking points. He wants to shut down drilling in Alaska, despite its strategic national value.

With a stroke of the pen, he shut down the Keystone XL Pipeline, and then months later we saw how vulnerable we are as a nation when Russian cyberattackers shut down just one pipeline, the Colonial Pipeline, that led to fuel shortages in the Southeastern United States.

This ransomware attack was a potential harbinger, foretelling asymmetrical warfare, launched with cyber-tools, by nefarious adversaries in Russia, China, and Iran, targeting our fuel and grid vulnerabilities.

Eliminating pipelines and stopping drilling on environmental grounds is dangerous to the security of our country.

Moreover, the environmental benefits are illusory. For instance, in killing 11,000 jobs associated with the Keystone Pipeline, the president didn’t protect the planet; he simply shifted the environmental risks to other parts of the globe.

After all, there remains a market for Canadian tar sands even if America is no longer willing to transport them.

If our leaders think they can save the planet by killing American industry and Americans’ jobs, while China and India cheat on environmental treaties, then one must wonder…whom are they working for?

Our approach should be to prioritize our energy independence with a clean, diversified mix of natural gas, solar power, nuclear, hydro, and other sources, providing America with low-cost energy, more well-paying American energy jobs, and a more secure planet for the freedom-loving nations of the world.

The Democrats have the wrong priorities, and we need to stop their dangerous agenda, especially as it pertains to energy.


Jim Lamon is founder and chairman of Arizona-based DEPCOM Power, one of the fastest-growing solar power companies in the U.S. He is running to replace Democrat Mark Kelly in the U.S. Senate.

    Let’s touch on a few key points; 1.) That Canadian heavy oil would be “blended” with some U.S Bakken crude & shipped via KXL to the Gulf Coast for use in domestic refineries. That supplies our nation with fuel as well as exports to trade & balance international markets. That oil supply is NEEDED to keep our refineries running, so now, it will come (predominantly) by rail. So, no benefit, not to mention the job losses & safety concerns. 2.) Since Biden wants to eliminate intangible drilling costs, depletion allowance & raise federal royalty rates on oil & gas operations on the federal domain, FINE. Those are FALSELY claimed as industry subsidies, but how about eliminating ALL subsidies (then) across the boards for energy producers? IF wind & solar are low cost & competitive with fossil fuels, then they will compete & DOMINATE the electricity generation sector on their MERITS. Level the “playing field” and let the most efficient, cost effective producers rise to the top. Won’t happen because renewables are NOT viable without massive taxpayer subsidies & other preferential treatment. 3.) So, what would be wrong with exporting higher BTU, low sulphur Powder River coal to Asia to substitute for “dirtier” coal being used? China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Africa etc will ALL continue to burn coal for electricity generation. If the goal is to lower CO2 emissions & criteria pollutants, why not market cleaner American coal & pollution reduction technology as an incremental step? Just some of the “low hanging fruit” I see that could make the air cleaner and promote the free market to innovate and determine the best solutions & allocation of resources…

      Hi Randy, it is my understanding that several coal trains daily from the Powder River basin in Wyoming are exported through Canada to the Roberts Bank coal terminal at Tsawwasen, BC just south of Vancouver. But I think you are right that because of USA Indian band protests on the US west coast the coal was rerouted through British Columbia.

      Randy, you are not the only one who says that renewables are NOT viable without massive taxpayer subsidies. I recently read an article from a climate change advocate. He said that renewable energy will always lose money. His solution was to tax the carbon dioxide emissions of fossil fuels to subsidize renewables.
