Commentary
While we have a real energy crisis on our hands, a handful of wackos on the left are more concerned with altering climate change, believing we can actually stop hurricanes.
On the morning Florida was dealing with Hurricane Ian, Democrat presidential wannabe Sen. Amy Klobuchar did just that during an appearance on the leftist MSNBC Morning Joe program.
Boasting how her party is doing something about climate change with the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, she seemingly suggested that voting for Democrats in the midterms could help thwart hurricanes and the effects of climate change.
Over at CNN, Don Lemon tried unsuccessfully to get Jamie Rhome of the National Hurricane Center to agree that Ian could be attributed to climate change. He wasn’t having any part of it.
Then, during President Biden’s visit to the Florida, he foolishly claimed, “This one thing has finally ended a discussion whether or not there’s climate change, and we should do something about it.”
Getting Serious About Our Energy
While recently concentrating on the political scene, I set aside these comments and additional notes I have made on our energy crisis and climate change of which I believe you need to be made aware. It’s time I took the time to share my research with you.
In Francis Menton’s piece, he places the blame for the economic crisis on those “energy zealots that Biden has appointed to infest every corner of government.” He names John Kerry and Gina McCarthy, and is quick to include John Podesta, who just replaced McCarthy.
Behind the scenes, however, Menton blames the efforts of our politicians, bureaucrats, academics and journalists to undermine and destroy the energy infrastructure that is the basis for our prosperity and our comfortable lives.
“An infrastructure built up over a century and more that actually provides reliable and affordable energy to millions of people – true miracle of human ingenuity – is being systematically and intentionally attacked and wrecked by ignorant fools who have no idea ow difficult the existing system was to create, and equally have no idea how to make something to replace it that might actually work,” he wrote.
He writes about the average household energy bills that have risen to about triple where they were a year ago in the UK, while Germany is experiencing a hike in natural gas up 400 percent. One wonders when we will begin experiencing it in the United States. The price of gas at the pump is a hint.
“So how did they get into this mess?” he asked. “Obviously, they pursued net zero carbon emissions programs, building weather-dependent wind turbines and solar panels that produce nothing most of the time, while closing reliable coal power plants, banning fracking, and otherwise suppressing fossil fuels, with the sole exception of imports of natural gas.”
Regular readers will recall my characterization of Biden administration individuals, who have led us down a fanciful yellow brick road in support of a renewable fuel transformation in an effort to attain a net zero emissions agenda to alter climate change. And in doing so, their actions have sacrificed our energy independence.
I’ve written about Biden’s desire to be viewed as the global leader for climate change. He returned the U.S. to the Paris Accord and takes pleasure in speaking internationally about his net zero goal for the U.S. Meanwhile, John Kerry flies around the world pressuring countries to follow the leader.
Gradually, I believe, leaders around the world are beginning to realize that they have been conned.
We already know it. With an abundance of oil in our earth, our president is guilty of reducing us to draining our emergency oil reserves and begging countries who hate us to supply us.
One thing we did learn from Hurricane Ian. The batteries in electric vehicles are corroding and exploding into flames. It’s easy to foresee other problems this winter with EVs operating in snow and sleet.
How Do We Stop the Insanity?
The first step is to vote Republican on November 8, 2022. Though Biden will still be in office, if we control the House and Senate, we will have the power of the purse and we will be in a position to negotiate with him as the 105th Congress did with Bill Clinton.
May God continue to bless the United States of America.
