Let’s Build, Back, Better To Energy Independence
-
With all his faults – Trump’s Energy Policy was right-on!
Energy Independence == American Independence and Security!
Roll-In Renewables as the supply, economics, technology and made-in-US supports it.

….. sounded the alarm about the United States’ and Europe’s growing reliance on Russian oil and gas. Unfortunately, the Biden administration enacted policies such as canceling the Keystone XL pipeline, and stalling oil and natural gas production on federal lands and offshore.
(and the Obama-Judges have crippled Virginia’s Fracking-Gas MVP Pipeline)

Biden has increased our dependence for oil on our adversaries including Russia resulting in major price increases and the risk of shortages.
A major risk of returning to the ‘alternate days for 10-gal of gas’ in 1974!

Biden Raid On Critical Strategic Petroleum Reserve Leaves Lowest Level In 35 Years
(The "Reserve" is for national emergencies - Not self-inflicted national abuse.)

Regarding the depletion of the SPR, James Taylor, President of The Heartland Institute, snapped, “Joe Biden has dangerously sacrificed America’s long-term national security in exchange for a very slight, short-lived mitigation of his inflationary energy prices. Now, just a month later, gasoline prices are higher than ever, and our national energy security is in more danger than ever.”
“By draining the SPR and discouraging more oil production, Joe Biden is endangering our national security,” declared Steve Milloy, former Trump/Pence EPA Transition Team Member.

The Chinese are clearly our existential adversaries! We are enriching them by buying most of our solar systems from them. We now are moving to further enrich them with wind turbine systems.
Money is power – and China is now a power-house and are flexing their military and economic muscles every day.

The Electric-Vehicle Unicorn Crash

Cheap credit and political subsidies led startups to let their ambitions get ahead of market realities.
A parade of electric-vehicle startups have gone public in recent years and commanded multibillion-dollar valuations—Rivian, Nikola, Canoo, Lordstown, Fisker, Workhorse Group, Mullen Automotive and Lucid. Most had never sold a single car at their public debut. Fueled by cheap credit and political subsidies, their stocks surged, only to crash. Their ambitions were ahead of reality.

It seems like yesterday that we had Trump-Affordable-Energy-Independence and then Biden said No to that Reality and lit a wildfire of energy inflation!
Europe is the victim of Putin energy blackmail.
There is No valid reason why the Energy-Independent-US needed to also be victimized!
