Twice before America faced an energy crisis and both were predicated on events on the global stage, the first being the U.S. support for Israel during the Yom Kippur War in 1973, that prompted the Gulf States to substantially raise the price of crude oil as retribution for that support. The second occurred at the end of the 1970’s as the result of Iran’s Islamic Revolution. We are now facing a third energy crisis that has been self-inflicted by policies by the Biden Administration and the Democratic Party.

Energy is sold on the world wide global market and any disruption in one area affects the price of crude in other areas. Currently we are experiencing a production shortfall, coupled with energy production disruption in Russia as a result of the Ukraine conflict, but the Biden administration and the Democratic Party further exacerbated this crisis with its singular focus on pursuing its “green agenda” and its war on America’s fossil fuel industry.

Since assuming the office of the presidency in January 2021, President Biden has pushed for the elimination of the fossil fuel industry with his first official act was to eliminate the Keystone XL pipeline, then place burdensome regulations on the industry and his administration coupled with Democrats pushed to have the financial industry  prevent capital going to the energy sector.

This anti-fossil fuel agenda was predicated by Biden during the presidential campaign of 2020, when he stated “I guarantee you. We’re going to end fossil fuel.” Biden has kept his word!

With this anti-fossil fuel agenda the Biden Administration and the Democratic Party have limited U.S. energy production, which if a different policy had been enacted would have prepared America for the shock of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The Biden Administration and the Democratic Party consistently blame Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) for the current spike in energy prices, but this is only fueling a false narrative and doesn’t belay the actual facts.

Since the Biden Administrations and the Democratic Party’s obsession with pushing their “green agenda” energy prices have trending rapidly higher well before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Because of increased prices, President Biden tapped the Strategic Petroleum Reserve in November 2022 in his efforts to stabilize rising gas prices, this happened well before Russia invaded Ukraine.

Since then Biden continued to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve this past March1, and again thirty days later when the president announced his administration would release 1 million barrels of oil per day for the next 180 days.

The third energy crisis America is experiencing was not brought on by Russia or Saudi Arabia and its Gulf allies, but has been entirely self-inflicted.

To counter rising energy prices early this summer, President Biden traveled to Saudi Arabia in an effort to have the kingdom increase oil production, wants a nuclear deal with Iran in an effort to get more Iranian oil into the global market. Biden also sent a senior level national security team to Venezuela in an effort to secure the nation increases energy production, and now is contemplating easing of sanctions.

Why would the Biden Administration and the Democratic Party embrace a “green agenda” in America but simultaneously want other nation’s especially authoritative countries to increase energy production which often is extremely dirty.

Why increase energy jobs in other countries but not in America, why eliminate energy sector jobs like Biden did with the cancelation of the Keystone XL pipeline. Biden consistently states he will be creating good paying green jobs, but where are they and why hasn’t the president been asked where are they especially for the Keystone XL pipeline workers.

To examine this false narrative of this “green agenda” one only has to examine how this has impacted Europe. Germany which pursued and enacted its own disastrous “green agenda,” is has enriched and empowered Russia to launch an energy war across Europe and virtually hold our European allies hostage.

Joseph Toomey wrote a compelling report in RealClearEnergy how the Biden administration and the Democratic Party’s singular pursuit of its vaunted “green agenda’ has contributed and the reason why America finds itself in.

The polices that Toomey articulates in his reports will led to China become essentially the world leader in oil refining in the future, will this mean Biden will ask Beijing for refined gas?  Maybe if Biden will be asking Mexico for refined gasoline, as the country in the process of constructing a $12 billion refinery, due to go online next year.

The Biden administration and Democratic Party are pursuing its “green agenda’ all the while placing America’s national security at risk!
