How Progressive energy policy weakens America

The American Rescue Plan of 2021 contributed to the record inflation of the past year

  • Biden's reversal of the Migration Protection Protocols, safe third country agreements, and other immigration policies enacted by the previous administration resulted in historic numbers of illegal entries along the southern border
  • The withdrawal from Afghanistan abandoned a nation of 39 million people to a murderous, medieval, terrorist-aligned mafia
  • Just the other day, Biden announced a complex, unconstitutional, regressive, and inflationary scheme to forgive student debt
  • His biggest folly may turn out to be his green thumb - the manic Progressive quest to eliminate fossil fuels and preside over a green energy transition will make America dependent, unstable, poorer, needier, and weaker.

Climate Solipsism in Europe

  • The push for green energy in the United Kingdom and in Europe, along with decades of antinuclear paranoia in Germany, has left millions dependent on natural gas supplied by Russia
  • Sanctions on the Russian economy over its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine have neither brought the war to an end nor Moscow to the negotiating table.
  • European leaders project an uneasy confidence about what lies ahead
  • This situation was not inevitable but it was predictable

The best thing President Biden could do for the American economy, the American worker, and the world is to drop his antipathy to carbon fuels

  • Explore the alternatives while sustaining the very basis of global commerce: cheap and plentiful carbon energy
  • Resume leasing on public lands and waters
  • Approve pipelines, deregulate biofuels mandates to increase refinery capacity
  • Finance the construction of as many nuclear plants as possible
