Cheap fossil fuels drive great economies

The stupidity of the Biden administration is highlighted by their hostility towards fossil fuels and pipelines. Thanks to the Biden administration's war on traditional energy sources, inflation is rampant, not transitory. It's apparent that Democrats are economic illiterates and that the Biden administration is either too weak to stand up to AOC's Green New Deal or too economically illiterate to know that getting energy right is essential to strong economies.

That isn't the only thing required for a strong economy but it's the first building block to put into place. Kevin Mooney's article highlights the Democrats'/globalists' energy agenda. It's apparent that Democrats see energy as a tool to be used for coercing more central planning:

When former President Barack Obama says “We are nowhere near where we need to be” in terms of climate change, he’s not talking about reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The stated goals of the U.N. Paris Agreement that Obama, and other world leaders, embrace are properly viewed as a proxy for a larger agenda aimed at dismantling American independence and freedom.

After all, the U.S. already leads the world in reducing Co2 emissions thanks in large part to hydraulic fracturing that accelerated during Donald Trump’s presidency. Forbes reports on the emissions reductions that occurred much to the consternation of the news media and its cheerleading for U.N. directives that raise energy costs without impacting climate.

The goal isn't to eliminate climate change. That's impossible. Here's what's happening:

The U.S. Energy Information Administration has collected data that shows how innovative drilling techniques has unleashed natural gas, which in turn has been driving down emissions. This trendline has continued into the Biden presidency in part because natural gas has replaced coal and in part because of COVID-19 restrictions on travel and other activities.

So, if Obama isn’t talking about emissions, what did he actually mean while addressing the U.N’s latest climate change conference in Glasgow, Scotland earlier this month? The answer comes in the form of the $1 trillion infrastructure bill that President Biden signed into law on Monday, and other anti-energy initiatives, ostensibly advanced in the name of climate change. The directives and mandates included in the legislation make it evident that what Obama really meant during his talk at the U.N. is that centralized planners in Europe and America are "nowhere near" where they would like to be as it relates to implementing coercive policy measures.

If you look at Biden's budget, there's no growth for the military or DHS. Biden once famously said 'don't tell me what your priorities are. Show me your budget and I'll tell you what your priorities are.' By that measure, keeping the people safe isn't a priority with Biden. That isn't surprising based on this:

Funding is way up for green energy though, as there is $555,000,000,000 earmarked in the Build Back Better Bill for the Green New Deal. This is additional proof that Democrats aren't worried about the people. It's proof because there aren't enough charging stations to travel from Phoenix to San Diego. Further, those charging stations must be powered by fossil fuels because solar and wind aren't reliable for that situation.

No matter how you cut it, the inescapable fact is that fossil fuels will be needed for the foreseeable future. Sen. Dan Sullivan lays things out nicely in this speech:

Americans want cheap, plentiful energy. By pushing the Green New Deal, Democrats show that they want the opposite. Remember that the next time it's time to vote.
