Biden's energy debacle

 Red States:

Joe Biden went to the Saudi government — the same government he termed a “pariah” — hat-in-hand to beg OPEC to pump more oil.

It was a an embarrassing display, especially when he tossed away our energy independence.

But not only did Biden’s begging not produce any real benefits, but OPEC has now decided to cut two billion barrels a day in production instead. And this is happening as gas prices have already started rising again in the United States.It’s also likely to worsen inflation once again. OPEC’s move is effectively giving the finger to Joe Biden.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made things worse by saying that it was clear that OPEC was “aligning with Russia.” I’m sure that’s going to work well for relations in the future. Biden just keeps digging that hole deeper.

This leaves Biden in a panic as to what to do. They had been planning to stop robbing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve on October 31, but now, they are going to continue to rob it.
...

There is plenty of oil in the US that could be produced if Biden would just get out of the way and allow production on US-controlled sites.  But he is too beholding to Big Green to produce American oil and gas.  If he would just return to the intelligent policies of the Trump administration there would be zero need to beg OPEC or Russia for oil and gas.  It is just idiotic to block drilling in the US and beg export countries.  The Biden approach actually increases pollution because foreign suppliers are not as careful as US producers and shipping oil from the middle east actually burns more oil.  The Biden approach to energy is totally nonsensical.

Biden's use of the petroleum reserve is totally irresponsible.  There is no logical reason to use a reserve when we could be producing our own oil in sufficient quantities to not only provide for our current needs but also refill the reserve he has been wasting.
