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.

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...

What is Kamala Harris afraid of?

Image
Apparently, Kamala Harris suddenly loves debating. Let me rephrase that. Harris loves debating as long as the moderators are partisan hacks. She wants nothing to do with a debate moderated by Fox's Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum. She's afraid of Bret and Martha because a) they'll either fact-check both her and Trump or they won't fact-check either of them and b) Bret and Martha aren't afraid of asking follow-up questions. To a candidate whose answers are scripted and who isn't quick on her feet, the last thing you want is a follow-up question. Kamala fears follow-up questions like vampires hate wooden stakes, sunlight and holy water. Why has Kamala Harris avoided Fox News like the plague? The moderators/propagandists fact-checked Donald Trump aggressively but didn't fact-check Harris . Why didn't David Muir and Linsey Davis fact-check both candidates equally? Is it because Harris doesn't like fair fights? Perhaps she's just afraid of getting exp...

Why is Joe Biden letting Hamas off the hook?

Image
It isn't disputable whether Joe Biden's administration is letting Hamas off the hook. That issue was settled months ago, when a spineless Joe Biden caved to activists interested in saving Hamas and thwarting the Israelis' attempt to defend themselves. Gerard Baker's op-ed highlights what's at stake for the U.S. if the terrorists are permitted to survive. In his op-ed, Baker wrote "If, under the pressure of internal Democratic politics and global public opinion, the Biden administration forces a 'cease-fire' that leaves our closest ally in the region short of victory over an enemy that seeks to destroy it, sooner or later we shall all pay the price." It's time to revisit George W. Bush's speech to a joint session of Congress on Sept. 20, 2001. It's required that we remind ourselves of one of its most important paragraphs. In talking about who committed the atrocities of 9/11, President Bush identified al-Qa'ida as "a collectio...
