| How Biden's Energy Policies Will Decimate American Jobs For No Good Reason |
| 2021-02-07 |
| [Federalist] One week after taking the oath of office, President Joe Biden kick-started his push to change how energy is produced and consumed in America. The White House marketed this as both "Climate Day" and "Jobs Day," an obvious attempt to sell the idea that Democrat climate policies don’t just mean a better environment, they mean better jobs and opportunities for all Americans. The centerpiece of the day included the president signing an executive order entitled "Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad." It was his way of following through on promises made during the campaign. The climate order and Biden’s related actions are heavy on new government prohibitions, and create new and duplicative government offices, working groups, and reports. The specifics on how Biden will deliver millions of new high-paying green jobs remains to be seen. While his new climate effort is far unpredictable, many of the president’s other promises will be left unfulfilled if Biden implements his new energy agenda. Candidate Biden promised the American people three specific things that he would do if elected: 1. "Ensure the future is made in America" 2. Implement a "recovery plan for working families" 3. Promote "American leadership abroad" These are laudable goals that every American should want to see fulfilled. Unfortunately, with his order to halt the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and the 60-day day moratorium on new oil and gas permits on federal land, President Biden is going to leave these promises unfulfilled and will leave millions of Americans behind as a result. Ensuring the Future Is Made in...China The United States is currently the largest producer of oil and natural gas in the world. Our vast resources allow us to access reliable, affordable energy. If accessing these resources doesn’t "ensure the future is made in America," then what will? |

| #8 Barr tosses a hand grenade into the White House, then departs via the backdoor. Good business strategy for a swamp critter on the make. If Trump's re-elected, Barr retains access. If Biden, he retains access. Barr collected st like $30 mil from Verizon for selling influence w DC regulators. Wonder what his next $10m plus influence-peddling gig will be? |

| #6 Peter Navarro Today on Mornings with Maria: Paraphrasing - Navarro: Biden's first day(s) in office EO's had to have been pre-reviewed/approved by DoJ. Not enough time to publish, sign, and release WITHOUT DoJ pre-approval. DoJ road blocked and obstructed each of Pres. Trump's EO's. Navaro sez Barr was likely working with Biden's people well prior to the election. Barr tosses a hand grenade into the White House, then departs via the backdoor. No surprise here. Hat tip to Peter Navarro. |

| #3 The United States is currently the largest producer of oil and natural gas in the world. Shifting to Chinese produced solar panels and windmills will create jobs - in China. |

| #1 Promises are made to be broken, besides they aren't the Frauds policies. This nonsense is straight from the satanic trinity of Obama,Jarrett,& Rice. This was a massive financial boondoggle last time it'll be even more costly this time. |
