Democrats Double Down On Destroying America's Energy Infrastructure

People are rightly concerned about energy prices. They are seeing gasoline prices skyrocket. They are seeing shortages with oil and propane, essential for home heating during the upcoming winter months. And, they are blaming the Democrat Party, and rightly so.

The Democrat extremists are in control of the party and government machinery. They are hell-bent on destroying America's energy infrastructure.

This is what a new article in The Hill is presenting.

Some snippets:

Voters just handed Democrats a crushing defeat in the most recent elections, and it appears that further setbacks may be on the near horizon. The party seems to have two clear choices: They could pause and reconsider, or they could double down.

Taking an even stronger position might embolden their team and bring on future wins, or it could turn into further setbacks as voters flee from their increasingly extreme views. Doubling down is a definite risk, but it’s clearly the hand many senior Democrats are choosing to play. In energy policy terms, doubling down means that, with winter approaching and energy prices skyrocketing, they were — even momentarily — considering plans to close down yet another major pipeline. 

He began his time in office by rejoining the Paris agreement and killing the Keystone XL pipeline, then moved on to helping promote Russian pipeline construction, and then to begging OPEC to increase production. Fellow Democrats are even pressuring Biden to consider shutting down oil exports and tapping the strategic petroleum reserve. 

Apparently, they have never seriously considered encouraging the American oil and gas industry to increase production and transportation of their products. In fact, we’ve even been treated to Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm’s guffawing when asked to consider the notion that she might be able to do something — anything — to help rein in energy prices by expanding domestic production.  

Even worse, while Granholm yucked it up on TV, she was also warning members of OPEC that “we need to increase [energy] supply at this moment so that people will not be hurt during the winter months.” Despite recognizing the protective value of more energy supplies, the Biden administration first acknowledged, and then rapidly walked back, reports that they were studying the costs of closing down the Line 5 pipeline, which supplies heating and transportation fuels to much of the Midwest.

Now you can see why the Democrats took a drubbing in recent elections and why Biden's approval numbers are below 40% in many polls. The Administration is full of lunatic leftist idiots.
