Two-thirds of Americans oppose Biden energy policy

I&I:

Joe Biden’s energy policy is coming up empty with voters on the eve of the critical midterm elections. A new poll by TIPP finds that 63 percent of American consumers directly blame President Biden either “a great deal” or “some” for the increase in the national average of nearly $4 a gallon for gas at the pump.

With September’s overall year-over-year inflation at 8.2 percent, Americans want to replace the Biden administration’s policies that restrict energy independence and inhibit affordability.

The latest TIPP poll on energy independence of October 2022 measured the opinions of adults on Biden’s energy policy, as well as views on usage of different fossil fuel types for the future. The results indicate that Americans want to return to energy independence. (The poll was conducted via an online survey from a sample of 1,376 adults from October 5th to October 7th, 2022. The results have a credibility interval of +/- 2.8 percentage points.)

The major cause of inflation is the multi-trillions of dollars spent by Congress. But another contributor is Biden’s “America-last” energy policies. Within a week in office, the Administration introduced sweeping radical reform ranging from ceasing new oil and gas leasing on federal land and offshore waters, to blocking mining on American soil that is rich with metals like copper, nickel, platinum-group elements, and other rare earth minerals, to finally abandoning the Keystone XL pipeline.

Attempting to mitigate high gas prices this year, the Biden Administration has tragically depleted the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) from 640 million barrels to 450 million barrels, now reaching its lowest level in four decades. With the announcement of OPEC+ production cuts, Biden will exhaust even further the emergency reserve by announcing the sale of 15 million barrels for December, leaving the U.S. more vulnerable than ever to serious oil supply disruptions as winter approaches and as the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues.

Now the Biden Administration, in an unprecedented, reckless move, has tapped the SPR again – something that has only been used three times in emergency drawdowns during Operation Desert Storm in 1991, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and during the war in Libya in 2011.
...

This is one of the reasons the Democrats are in for a shellacking.  They have been pushing an anti-energy policy and Biden has been following their lead.  He has been recklessly using the SPR because he knows his anti-energy policies are hurting his polling.   The US needs to return to the Trump energy policies.  Trump's policies created energy independence and made America more prosperous while keeping inflation under control.

BTW, Biden has been wasting money on Big Green projects that can't deliver reasonably cost energy on a consistent basis.
