Adults now talking about Joe Biden's energy policies

It's long past time for the adults in the energy industry to start talking about Joe Biden's incoherent energy policies. The latest to speak out is Neil Chatterjee, the chairman of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, aka FERC, during the Trump administration. Chatterjee spoke about energy issues in this interview with Newsmax.

In the interview, Chatterjee said "We've got a couple of situations that are coming together right now to create a problematic situation. You've got tight supplies. You've got increased natural gas prices. We're dealing with the effects of the war on Ukraine, but we also are constraining our own energy supplies here at home."

Why we're restricting our production of oil and natural gas is inexplicable and indefensible. The jobs are high paying union jobs. Production of oil and natural gas is anti-inflationary, too. Finally, the price drops help families' paychecks stretch much farther.

The article continues, saying "Chatterjee added that the northeastern part of the United States is at risk because, for years, environmentalists pushed back against pipeline development." Then there's this:

This is "ironic," he added, because gas is being brought instead from Russia, which means it must be imported by tankers, or consumers must burn oil, "which is far worse for the environment."
In this interview with Newsmax, Chatterjee raises lots of questions that the Biden administration doesn't have answers for:

What happens when we get to the bottom of the SPR? What if oil never gets to $70/bbl? Most importantly, why aren't we learning from Europe's mistakes? We've literally got centuries of energy resources underneath our feet. Why shouldn't we turn that into our economic and national security advantage?

It isn't just Chairman Chatterjee speaking out. Power the Future is speaking out, too. Check out Power the Future's blueprint for energy independence. We have the resources underneath our feet. We don't need the Saudis, Russians or Venezuelans. It's time we started dictating terms to Putin. It's time to have him worry about what we'll do to him. We're the superpower, not Russia.

Finally, it's time for Republicans and people in northern-tier states to put pressure on Democrats. The Democrats' Green New Deal stupidity needs to be ridiculed. Republicans have a prosperity plan because Republicans want energy independence. Democrats, like Jimmy Carter from the 1970s, want us wearing sweaters more often. Remember this?

CARTER: We must face the fact that the energy shortage is permanent. There is no way we can solve it quickly. But if we all cooperate and make modest sacrifices, if we learn to live thriftily and the importance of helping our neighbors, then we can find ways to adjust.
This was called the Sweater Speech but it's the first 'New Normal Speech.' The energy shortage, we were told, was permanent. We've proven that's BS. We proved it with Reagan, then Trump. Both times, it only took the political will to open the spigots

The next time Joe Biden or KJP tell you he's doing everything within their power to keep gas prices cheap, tell them that they're lying. Next, highlight the fact that they haven't opened the nation's spigots.

Is Joe Biden our Grifter-in-Chief?

Apparently, Joe Biden doesn't care about the law or Supreme Court rulings. When asked about the ruling on his student loan bailout, Biden said that the Supreme Court misinterpreted the Constitution. He knows they didn't. That's just what he said to preserve the opportunity to introduce his next unconstitutional plan that will get rejected by the Supreme Court. This isn't about whether it's constitutional. It's about whether he can con enough young people into voting for him in 2024. Biden must've anticipated this ruling. Within an hour of the ruling, the Administration was out with this detailed fact sheet to replace the plan that he knew would fail. It opens with the same partisan attack as Democrats have mouthed. The fact sheet opens by saying "No President has fought harder for student debt relief than President Biden, and he’s not done yet. President Biden and Vice President Harris will not let Republican elected officials succeed in denying hard

Tim Walz's Confederate Flag Fiasco

Image
After Minnesota's Democrats shoved the most controversial progressive legislation down Minnesotans' throats, gossip started popping up about Gov. Walz being interested in running for president . That's died off but Gov. Walz is still making headlines, this time for all the wrong reasons. First, Gov. Walz isn't the brightest bulb in the chandelier. Still, Gov. Walz is fighting against Minnesota's history. This Alpha News article quotes David Hann, the chairman of Minnesota's Republican Party, as saying " The flag the DFL has eliminated was a version of the historic flag our regiments fought under during the Civil War. Minnesota was the first state to offer troops to the Union cause in 1861 , beginning a long tradition of leading the nation in confronting injustice. The DFL quest to erase our history is repugnant and should be rejected." Gov. Walz, though, sees things differently. He's quoted as saying "Minnesota is a diverse state, it continue

Maria Bartiromo's interrogation of Gov. Ron DeSantis

Image
Yesterday, Maria Bartiromo interrogated Gov. Ron DeSantis on Sunday Morning Futures. The first half of the interview, Bartiromo asked policy questions. Gov. DeSantis showed his understanding of the issues and presented his solutions on everything from China, inflation and growing the economy. The first reply he had was to cut spending. His next reply was to open energy production. Third, he talked about the importance of increasing productivity, which he correctly said is the best way to eliminate inflation. A little over half the way through the interview, though, it turned into an attack. Bartiromo asked "I'm wondering what's going on with your campaign. There was a lot of optimism about you running for president earlier in the year but here's this weekend's headline from the Politico Playbook: Failure to launch. Gov. Ron DeSantis's campaign to topple Donald Trump has stalled. We are way behind says a top DeSantis PAC official. What happened? Despite that bad
