Biden’s chaotic, anti-fossil fuel policies are threatening global energy security

November 04, 2022 -

Today, the United States is a hollow shell of its former self – with pipelines and drilling operations shuttered. After the Biden regime took control in 2021, “hostile” federal administrators were quickly installed to take down the most important pillars of America’s energy infrastructure – fossil fuels, natural gas, and nuclear energy.

In the Presidential debates of 2020, Biden told the American people this was going to happen during his term, and his minions have ...

“Woke” investors are putting American national security at risk with their anti-fossil fuel gambits

May 02, 2022 -

Yes, they made some mention of "green energy," of course, like all Democrats do, but neither Biden nor Harris vowed to conspire against the gas-powered engine in favor of forcing all Americans to rely on expensive electric vehicles. And yet, the next thing we know, one automaker after another is announcing they will either reduce their inventories of vehicles with internal combustion engines (good-bye, American V-8) or stop making gasoline- and diesel-powered vehicles altogether....

House passes bill to block Biden from banning gas stoves as Republicans push back against anti-fossil fuel policies

June 19, 2023 -

On Tuesday, June 13, lawmakers passed H.R. 1615, also known as the "Gas Stove Protection and Freedom Act," primarily sponsored by Republican Rep. Kelly Armstrong of North Dakota. The bill prohibits the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) from executing any kind of federal ban on gas stoves.

According to Politico, the bill passed by a 248-180 vote, with 29 Democrats crossing the aisle to support H.R. 1615, which also prevents the CPSC from spending taxpayer dollars ...

Warning: Nearly 25% of Americans are facing risk of power blackouts this winter, thanks to Biden admin’s anti-fossil fuel policies

November 21, 2022 -

Republicans were on pace to win historic numbers of House and Senate races after two years of anti-fossil fuel policies emanating from the White House and the congressional Democratic majority, policies that led to high gasoline and diesel prices and now, anticipated shortages just as winter descends on the country.

In fact, experts are warning that shortages of diesel fuel and heating oils could be so significant that a quarter of all Americans are facing looming blackouts ...

Inflated and intentionally deceptive: The $7 trillion fossil fuel subsidy myth

July 06, 2025 -

A viral claim that fossil fuels receive $7 trillion per year in global subsidies — popularized by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) — has been dismantled by energy analysts who argue the figure is a misleading inflation of external cost estimates, not direct taxpayer support. The debate centers on conflicting methodologies: while the IMF inflates its numbers by including unpriced environmental damages as “hidden subsidies,” independent agencies like ...

EU lawmakers approve effective 2035 ban on new fossil fuel cars

February 15, 2023 -

(Article by Kate Abnett republished from Reuters.com)

The landmark rules will require that by 2035 carmakers must achieve a 100% cut in CO2 emissions from new cars sold, which would make it impossible to sell new fossil fuel-powered vehicles in the 27-country bloc.

The law will also set a 55% cut in CO2 emissions for new cars sold from 2030 versus 2021 levels, much higher than the existing target of a 37.5%.

"The operating costs of an electric vehicle ...

Asia’s richest fossil fuel billionaire unveils $10B plan to go green

July 07, 2021 -

Reliance Industries Ltd., the oil- and refining-heavy conglomerate that he controls, plans to spend $8 billion on four "giga factories" to make solar modules, hydrogen, fuel cells and to build a battery grid to store electricity. An additional $2 billion will be invested in value chain and other partnerships.

Speaking at the company's virtual annual meeting on June 24, Ambani gave scant details of how he would execute the plan. He was ranked No. 4 among global fossil fuel ...

China still thinks fossil fuel is key to a reliable power grid

March 14, 2023 -

"We will strengthen the basic supporting role of coal and take orderly steps to increase advanced coal production while ensuring safety," the Chinese National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) declared in a report to the National People's Congress on March 5. The NDRC serves as China's state planner in charge of macroeconomic policy.

Beijing China approved the construction of another 106 gigawatts (GW) of coal-fired power capacity in 2022, four times higher than ...

Solar and wind can’t replace fossil fuel, points out economist Peter Hartley

January 23, 2023 -

"I don't think solar and wind can replace fossil fuel. I'm sorry, it can't be done," Hartley told host Fergus Hodgson during the January 17 episode of the "Gold Newsletter" podcast. "The only thing that can replace it is nuclear. In fact, the only two examples we have of substantial replacement of fossil fuel are the French and Swedish nuclear programs." (Related: Wind and solar cannot replace oil: What we need is for the government to stop suppressing free energy.)

Global campaign for fossil fuel divestment will INCREASE carbon emissions, warns expert

March 28, 2021 -

On the surface, the idea of divestment might seem to make sense to those concerned about carbon emissions, with fossil fuel companies unquestionably contributing to the carbon dioxide emissions some blame for global warming. According to The Guardian, 20 fossil fuel companies are behind 35 percent of the energy-related CO2 and methane emissions on our planet since 1965. It is believed that pulling investments from such companies could cause them to change their business model ...

Deforestation impacts climate change more than fossil fuel use, new study finds

September 25, 2017 -

The new paper, which is titled, “Are the Impacts of Land Use on Warming Underestimated in Climate Policy?” illustrates the dramatic impact that deforestation has on climate change. In fact, it shows that even if all fossil fuel emissions were somehow eliminated, we would still note a 1.5-degree rise in global warming if the current tropical deforestation rates maintain their current pace through the year 2100.

Part of the reason for this, as the paper’s lead author ...

U.S. EPA signals return to fossil fuel dominance with power plant emission rollbacks

June 18, 2025 -

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently announced a sweeping plan to eliminate caps on greenhouse gases and mercury emissions from coal- and gas-fired power plants, a decisive pivot away from Biden-era climate policies. The proposal, spearheaded by EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, aims to boost energy production and economic activity while rejecting what Zeldin called “extreme climate mandates.” The decision reverses stringent standards set under ...

JPMorgan CEO: Vetoing fossil fuel projects would send US into a death spiral

September 27, 2022 -

Dimon issued the warning after Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) reminded him during a Congressional hearing that his company, along with six of the largest U.S. banks, have committed to wind down their emissions from "lending and investment activities" to align with the net-zero goal by 2050. To achieve this goal, Tlaib reiterated that JPMorgan ought to veto all oil and gas projects moving forward.

But Dimon begged to differ in his response to the congresswoman's question ...

Why hydrogen fuel is not a good long-term alternative to fossil fuels

June 15, 2022 -

Francis Menton, writing for the Manhattan Contrarian, called one of the key issues hounding the widespread adoption of hydrogen fuel as a power source the "energy storage conundrum."

This is "the obvious but largely unrecognized problem that electricity generated by intermittent renewables like wind and sun can't keep an electric grid operating without some method of storing energy to meet customer demand in times of low production," he wrote. (Related: Will the EU succeed ...

Non-fossil fuel energy sources comprised 21% of US energy consumption in 2020

July 12, 2021 -

The U.S. significantly reduced its energy use in 2020 due to the country's response to the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, as well as other economic factors. Primary energy consumption in 2020 totaled 93 quadrillion British thermal units (quads). This is seven quads less than in 2019 and the largest annual decrease on record.

Fossil fuel consumption for 2020 was at 73 quads. This is the lowest level it has been since 1991. The decrease in fossil fuel consumption ...

Green energy GENOCIDE: Without fossil fuel, there’ll be no more fertilizer to grow food

September 16, 2022 -

Published in Geographic Journal, the study reveals that upwards of 80 percent of the global supply of sulfur comes from the desulfurization of fossil fuels, which the climate brigade has pronounced as evil because they are supposedly heavy polluters.

The push to "decarbonize" the planet in order to cool it and prevent global warming and climate change is making sulfur much harder to come by. By 2040, the "greenification" of the planet will create a "shortfall" in the ...

Trump’s energy emergency is a gift to fossil fuel firms. It’s likely headed to court

February 03, 2025 -

(Article by Jeff Brady republished from NPR.org)

"We will drill, baby, drill," Trump said in his inauguration speech and then later signed the emergency declaration and commented that it "means you can do whatever you have to do to get out of that problem." That is not accurate and many of the details for how this will be done are not included in the order.

Trump invoked presidential authority under the National Emergencies Act, which he also used in 2019 to ...

EU parliament declares fossil fuel to be “green” energy as climate change narrative self-destructs

July 07, 2022 -

When this rule is fully adopted, it means Russia's Putin will become one of the world's largest exporters of green energy. That also means NATO and Ukraine are engaged in a war against a green energy leader, while western sanctions have blocked Russia's exports of green energy.

"EU Parliament backs green label for nuclear and natural gas, defying climate Left," reports the Washington Examiner. The decision will, "ease construction of infrastructure for those power sources ...

Here’s why going green will backfire: Fossil fuel divestment will increase carbon emissions, warn experts

March 20, 2021 -

Divestment campaigns have gained steam across the world as a means to combat climate change. According to an analysis from the Climate Accountability Institute in the U.S., the top 20 fossil fuel companies in the world have already contributed to 35 percent of all energy-related carbon dioxide and methane emissions worldwide since 1965. This has led many to consider targeting them, through divestment, to encourage them to lower emissions.

By divesting, the movement believes ...

Biden is DESTROYING the U.S. fossil fuel industry and handing over refining market to “dirty” China

September 12, 2023 -

America's energy infrastructure and resources are in such disrepair, and refining capacity constantly declining, that any disruptions – this includes the smallest supply chain hiccup or delay – will send energy prices into a tailspin of wild and extreme volatility.

When the U.S. was still a relatively stable country with competent leaders at the helm, gas prices would remain pretty much stable year after year, save for the annual summer rush and busy holiday seasons....
