“Blame a perfect storm of bad government policies, timing and weather. Coal and nuclear are the most reliable sources of power. But competition from heavily subsidized wind power and inexpensive natural gas, combined with stricter emissions regulation, has caused coal’s share of Texas’s electricity to plunge by more than half in a decade to 18%,” says the Wall Street Journal.

“The Democratic congresswoman from New Mexico has joined with pipeline protesters, supported the Green New Deal and opposed fracking on public lands. For a cabinet post that oversees the government’s longstanding, multibillion-dollar partnership with drillers on federal lands, Ms. Haaland’s environmental politics are in contrast to those of her predecessors”, according to Timothy Puku, writing for the Wall Street Journal.

“…amid Biden’s complete capitulation to radical environmentalists, the Russians are restarting construction of this massive natural gas pipeline under the Baltic Sea. It will carry Russian gas to Germany, inevitably increasing Western Europe’s dependence upon Putin and upon his good graces, and funding the economy and military that make Putin powerful,” according to the Washington Examiner.

Devastation has hit many towns like Midland, SD due to Joe Biden’s needless and useless order to shut down the Keystone XL pipeline. While liberals may rejoice over it, average Americans suffer.

The Daily Signal

The legal principle, called “reliance interest” may, in this case, work in favor of Canada.

While Joe Biden wants to kill U.S. energy, the sad fact is that many of his supporters, young and old alike, have absolutely no idea where energy comes from, or that it is impossible to miraculously switch to mythical “green” energy — they have no idea where that comes from either but they seem to like the sound of it.

Michael Shellenberger, the author of Apocalypse Never, said: “Climate change is not the most important environmental problem. Most of the trends are going in the right direction: Deaths from natural disasters are at an all-time low. Carbon emissions in the United States peaked over a decade ago; they’ve been going down ever since. They’ve been going down in wealthy countries for almost 40 years.”
