Biden Makes the U.S. Energy-Dependent Again

During his softball CNN town hall on October 21st, Biden conceded that "We're about $3.30 a gallon most places now," noting that the price had previously been "Down in the single digits - I mean single digits, a dollar-plus."

Biden turned the clock back to the time when the United States was dependent on Middle East oil - before former President Donald Trump had managed to make the U.S. energy-independent.

Joe Biden resolved to reverse everything that Trump had done to achieve energy independence.

Days later, Biden issued an executive order imposing a moratorium on new oil and gas lease permits on federal lands and water.

Biden's long-term answer to the present energy quagmire "Is investing in renewable energy," he told the CNN town hall audience.

The Biden administration is also proposing onerous regulations that will put the United States at a further economic disadvantage vis-a-vis China.

As China continues to flout its modest greenhouse gas emission commitments, Biden boasted during the CNN town hall that "I'm presenting a commitment to the world that we will get to net zero emissions on electric power by 2035.".
