You did not see this plane accident chart on TV because it didn't fit the narrative

[Collins Friddle @collinsfriddle]

@realdogenews Yes!

[Greg Price @greg_price11]

The guy with the nuclear codes was found by his own DOJ to have broken the law but is not mentally competent to stand trial.

Everything is fine.

An African American immigrant that manufactures electric cars is now protecting free speech for everyone and the left is somehow mad. 🤷🏾‍♂️

@SecretaryPete and @JoeBiden speaking about trucking and how much trucking means to the country shows means that they have no idea that trucks run on fossil fuels and they are creating a crisis #BidenGasCrisis #WorstPresidentEver

Plus, something that gets left out of the current discourse is that numerous states have banned or proposed banning fracking, an effective way to access hard-to-reach energy sources.

I’ll give you one guess which politically party was behind these efforts.

[Drew Holden @DrewHolden360]

And there were numerous hearings where Democrats have demonized the oil and gas industry in colorful but seriously dubious ways, making the industry’s standing on that side of the aisle clear.

[Drew Holden @DrewHolden360]

Congressional Dems have also taken steps to add tighter (and in some cases, just punitive) regulations that make it harder for domestic energy companies to do business, including regs on offshore oil & regarding methane.

Naturally, making a process harder increases the cost.

[Drew Holden @DrewHolden360]

And it wasn’t just Biden acting on his own.

As @SaysSimonson wrote about for @FreeBeacon, Dems in Congress have pushed to restrict domestic energy production even as prices have climbed:

These signals matter.

Extractive industries like oil & gas rely heavily on tea-leaf-reading, because even seemingly small gov’t actions can have huge impacts for a heavily regulated industry. A quick, easy-to-follow breakdown of some of the reasons here: https://t.co/Yp3b2SB2Og

[Drew Holden @DrewHolden360]

All of these federal efforts came with a clear goal in mind: sending a signal that the days of fossil fuels would be ending soon.

Again, once upon a time, the corporate press was comfortable admitting this was the goal:

In June of 2021, Biden suspended oil and gas leases that the Trump Admin had granted in Alaska, outraging local officials and ending one of the key actions Trump took to expand domestic energy production. https://t.co/VLsRmao1N9

[Drew Holden @DrewHolden360]

Taken together, these early moves represent what climate activist Bill McKibben said “may well mark the official beginning of the end of the fossil-fuel era” arguing “they send a decisive signal about the end of one epoch and the beginning of another.” https://t.co/mOwnGo7bQq

[Drew Holden @DrewHolden360]

And I’m sure that no one has forgotten that Biden shutdown the Keystone XL pipeline on his first day in office.

But what you may have forgotten was that this was part of a broader suite of efforts to “reverse ‘more than 100’ Trump-era policies.” https://t.co/5YqxDldQQE

[Drew Holden @DrewHolden360]

Biden also proposed ending a wide range of tax benefits for drilling and exploration, something supporters said would hopefully “discourage additional oil and gas development.”

This makes the process more expensive, particularly when competing with heavily subsidized renewables.

[Drew Holden @DrewHolden360]

Back before gas prices hit record highs, Biden’s allies were praising the Admin for taking bold steps to limit fossil fuel production.

One of their key points? We, supposedly, already had enough supply “to meet domestic needs.”
