Biden's War

One of the greatest failures of the Biden Administration took place on its very first day. One of the first things Joe Biden did when he entered the Oval Office was to shut down our pipelines. He also shut down new U.S. drilling and put us back in the terrible Paris Climate Accord. 

Later he approved Putin's pipeline to Europe and started buying record amounts of oil from Russia, feeding Putin's war machine. 

Seriously, we're paying Putin $70 million a day for oil we could be and should be producing here.

Joe Biden and the left have been waging war against the American energy industry non-stop. They have an obsession to rebuild the entire economy around wind, solar and other so-called "green energy" alternatives. 

And because of that obsession, we're now in a huge mess. Europe is dependent on Russian energy, and we cannot supply them and ourselves with our own drilling being hobbled by our own government. 

But far from acknowledging the mistake, Biden is doubling down -- even as gas prices have surged nearly $1.20 from this time two years ago. 

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was asked why the administration isn't doing more to produce more domestic energy. Here's what he said in response:

"The president has taken a number of steps . . . including diplomatic efforts to increase global oil production. . . But let's be clear: We're in the middle of a long-term transformation."

In other words, we're going to rely on hostile regimes around the world while we wait for a "long-term transformation."

We are inflicting damage on ourselves. And, in the meantime, you're going to face a lot more pain at the pump for the left's "green" obsession.
