Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats have a plan for American energy: make it harder to produce and more expensive to purchase. Since Biden took office, his administration and Congressional Democrats have taken over 125 actions deliberately designed to make it harder to produce energy here in America.  A list of those actions appears below. A PDF of the full list is available to download here.

According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), the United States now has less than 25 days of diesel stocks, the lowest level since 2008—and down from 34.2 days during the previous four weeks. The fuel is already being rationed in the Northeast, with suppliers in several states forced to conserve heating oil as the winter months approach. New England’s stockpiles are at less than a third  of their usual levels for this time of year and the lowest levels since April 1992, which...

Representative Khanna (CA-D) publicly called for energy producers to DECREASE domestic oil production last fall, now that gas prices are rising he loudly complains those same producers aren't doing enough! Instead of working to unleash American energy Rep. Khanna is busy begging OPEC to bring down gas prices ahead of the midterms!

Without water and electricity for a week or more, residents in Southwest Florida felt like they were in a war zone. Despite waiting for hours for a fill-up or to obtain gas for generators, motorists were thankful they had an internal combustion engine vehicle because electric vehicle owners without power could not charge their vehicles at home and many charging stations, which did not have power either, were under water. But the most frightening aspect of electric vehicle ownership in the...

Average U.S. gasoline prices hit $3.89 a gallon on October 17, up about 20 cents from a month ago, 56 cents higher than last year at this time, and $1.35 a gallon higher  than when Biden took office on January 20, 2021. In March, gasoline prices hit $4 a gallon and then moved up to a record $5 a gallon in June. According to the White House, it plans to take action to prevent those high prices from occurring again. As the mid-term election approaches, the Biden administration is reportedly...

Florida made the right decision on the high-speed rail project proposed during the Obama administration. Floridians can thank then-Governor Rick Scott for nixing the project. California, however, is in the opposite situation. The bullet train project that was supposed to connect Los Angeles and San Francisco is a $1 trillion  fiasco, if it should ever get completed. The ambitious project has become encumbered by political horse-trading, unrealistic cost estimates, flawed engineering and a...

At the Ministerial Meeting on October 5, OPEC Plus decided to cut oil production by 2 million barrels per day (2 percent of world oil demand) in November from “current baselines.” For October, the OPEC 10 production target is 26.689 million barrels per day, while the non-OPEC members of OPEC+ had a collective target of 17.165 million barrels per day . Because the group has failed to meet those targets, the actual realized production cut will be less than the 2 million barrel per day...

President Biden must be living a life of luxury and seclusion because he has no concept of how gasoline prices are set, what the demand is, and how much oil production and refinery capacity are needed to meet it.  He is back to accusing oil companies of price gouging should gasoline prices go up. Biden said  that the hurricane “provides no excuse for price increases at the pump” and if it happens, he will ask federal officials to determine ”whether price gouging is going on.”   The...
