"Instead of pleading with OPEC+ to maintain or increase high levels of oil production, the Biden administration could have simply allowed for expanded domestic oil production. Instead, Biden has issued fewer leases for on-shore and off-shore oil production than any president since World War II. As such, the pleadings by Biden and administration officials have backfired. The perception of the U.S. in the minds of OPEC+ members has weakened while the influence of Russian President Vladimir Putin has strengthened," Shellenberger wrote on his Substack page. Republicans have also jumped on the bandwagon to point out Biden's and Democrats' insane energy stupidity.In 2020, Democrats blocked Trump's proposal to buy American oil at $24 a barrel.
Yesterday, a Biden official disclosed a secret offer to buy OPEC+ oil at $80 a barrel in exchange for not cutting production. Biden's efforts backfired. The US is weakened.https://t.co/ygwOZqPIBk — Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) October 5, 2022
Because of the deep state's irrational hatred of anything that empowers Americans and makes us more independent (like cheap, affordable energy), the regime will continue to destroy a key industry for the sake of imposing more control over our lives and the work/life decisions we will have to make. But the non-Western-aligned world sees what the regimes in America and Europe are doing, and because of our self-inflicted wounds, they are holding all the cards when it comes to our future prosperity. Vote for a Democrat next month at your own risk. Sources include: MichaelShellenberger.Substack.com NaturalNews.comLet’s be clear about what happened:
1. Biden destroyed America's oil/gas industry and made us dependent on OPEC again. 2. Biden begged OPEC to produce more oil. 3. OPEC is doing the opposite—cutting output by 2 million barrels a day. Total failure. OPEC is laughing at him. — Steve Scalise (@SteveScalise) October 5, 2022
