Energy prices in America are going to get much worse than we've ever imagined
2023-09-11
[AmericanThinker] Last week, Joe Biden canceled all drilling in Alaska on federal land. Separate from the fact that no president should have that kind of power over the American economy and lifestyle, he paired it with another executive order that will make fuel more expensive than Americans have ever imagined.

...Many assumed that Biden was just pandering to the base. He was not. His executive orders have aggressively attacked fossil fuel (although not in China). As part of these orders, Biden immediately placed a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on federal lands.

...Every single thing in your house, including your food and drugs, and in your office place is dependent on fossil fuel. It is an ingredient in the goods we use, as well as the energy that manufactures them and gets them to market. It also enables all modern food production, from planting, to fertilizer, to harvesting, to getting to the grocery store. Without it, we revert to the pre-modern instantly. Yet Biden is slashing away at this fundamental, existential resource like a tyrant.
Maybe it's Biden admin's way to deal with illegal immigration - make things so bad, they'll leave on their own?:-)

Cute, but cant be serial. These pressures are attacks on the middle class. Fox Piven. I doubt these things hit the asylum grifters and welfare recipients as they do us.

I pay expensive grocery prices so I can join their fuel club and pay reduced, expensive fuel prices.
