Energy Independence Isn’t a Question Anymore
$100 to fill up a tank of gas-- that isn’t someone filling up a hummer or filling some type of muscled up sports car with premium. That is what some people are paying in states like Virginia, New York, and California as the price of regular unleaded has surpassed $5.
I could tell you that it didn’t have to be this way. Well, I will tell you. It really, really didn’t have to be as terrible as it is right now. The current Russian-Ukraine conflict has exposed the US for how misguided and ill-intent our current energy policies are.
And no, this isn’t just Putin’s fault as Joe Biden and the mainstream media will parrot to high Heaven. This rapid increase in fuel and oil costs began on day one of the Biden administration as he cut off the Keystone pipeline and tossed out all the energy independence policies the Trump administration put in place to prioritize the American consumer and slow down America’s reliance on foreign dictators.
Speaking of dictators, Venezuelan-Americans were horrified to see that in the middle of this energy crisis, Biden took time to grovel to Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro. ABC covered a recent conference where Florida Governor Ron DeSantis spoke with many Venezuelan-American conservatives about this and other issues impacting the residents of his state, saying:
"This is part of a familiar pattern of the Biden administration thumbing its nose at millions of people here in Florida, just like when it took FARC off the terrorism list and didn’t lift a finger to help the democracy protesters in Cuba," DeSantis said. "Now, Biden is going hat in hand to legitimize Nicolas Maduro, who is responsible for countless atrocities and has driven Venezuela into the ground. The United States should be energy independent, but instead gas prices have been going up consistently since January 20, 2021."
Right he is. There is absolutely no reason why a nation with so many resources cannot unshackle itself from this solution isn’t found under the ground we stand on.
The Atlantic recently pointed this out:
Since 2018, the United States has been the world’s largest producer of oil and natural gas. On paper, “we are energy independent,” John Hess, the CEO of Hess, said yesterday at CERAWeek, the energy industry’s annual conference. But what a funny kind of independence it is. As he spoke, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine pushed U.S. gas prices to more than $4.10 a gallon, setting a new all-time high.
We have the opportunity to help millions of Americans with new jobs and more cash in their pocket by saving on expenses, but instead, we prioritize this disastrous green agenda which would create yet a larger divide between the green elite and the working American.
