Biden Administration Approves Willow Oil Drilling On Public Lands In Alaska
Fool Me Once, Shame on You – Fool Me 46 Times?
[Update: 4/23/23 – another Biden approved Alaska “carbon bomb”:
And where did we hear this before? (we suspected German LNG exports in 2019, BEFORE the Russian invasion):
The Biden administration is trying to approve more US LNG exports as it competes with Russia, traditionally one of the world’s largest energy exporters. Critics say the Ukraine conflict is a “false justification” for a rush to natural gas. …
Russia is under pressure from western sanctions for its invasion of Ukraine, and the US has boosted LNG exports to Europe after Moscow cut gas pipeline shipments to the continent. ~~~ end update]
For those with experience in government and know how to read an Executive Order, it was completely obvious on January 27, 2021 that Joe Biden was a climate fraud when he issued his Executive Order (see Sect. 208) purporting to create a so called “pause” on approvals of leases for fossil extraction on public lands.
(NJ Gov. Murphy plays a similar cynical game with his prolific, heavily spun, and toothless Executive Orders – symbolic gestures all.)
For those who had followed Joe Biden’s political career, that was obvious well before he was sworn in, just as we predicted in December 2020.
(NJ Gov. Murphy has a similar corporate democrat background, serving as Obama Ambassador to Germany after making millions as a Wall Street Goldman Sachs Man.)
Any reasonable doubt was eliminated by Biden Secretary of Interior Haaland’s Senate Confirmation testimony and her capitulation to hostile questions in March.
(NJ Gov. Murphy has a similarly cynical token identity politics agency head, the first openly gay DEP Commissioner Shawn LaTourette, who is a former corporate lawyer and worked for major polluters. Identity politics oriented climate and environmental activists and media have given LaTourette a pass. It seems that Democrats can make corporate revolving door appointments to key Agency positions with impunity, but when Republicans do the same thing, it’s immediately condemned as corrupt, “fox guarding the hen house”, “agency capture”. )
In April, we predicted the fraud would only get worse and more obvious:
I’m expecting to see pipelines receive subsidies and “streamlined regulatory review” under Biden’s infrastructure plan. I’ve already read quotes from Sect. Transportation Buttigieg that included pipelines in the definition of infrastructure. And Biden supported the gas industry before the US supreme Court, see:
This is exactly the policy Joe’s mentor, Barack Obama implemented – which we also criticized at the time despite all the environmental group praise.
We quoted Obama’s own absurd words, see:
Under my administration, America is producing more oil than at any time in the last eight years. We’ve opened up new areas for exploration. We’ve quadrupled the number of operating rigs to a record high. We’ve added enough new oil and gas pipeline to circle the Earth and then some,” Obama said (source)
(NJ Gov. Murphy has a similarly hypocritical record, where his DEP approved major fossil infrastructure projects.)
So, on July 12, 2021, after even more evidence of the Biden climate fraud had mounted – e.g. the AP story on Biden drilling permits – we wrote about it:
Perhaps if climate activists had some semblance of a grasp of policy and politics, they would not have played the inside game with Biden and the AOC crowd – even after they sabotaged Bernie – twice! – and abandoned the Green New Deal – and they would not be feeling betrayed by Biden’s latest climate fraud.
(NJ climate activists are similarly duped and have been cheerleaders for NJ Gov. Murphy and his corporate lawyer DEP Commissioner, despite their record).
Instead of inside political games with the Democrats, perhaps they will now organize and mobilize militant protest and civil disobedience.
I’m not holding my breath waiting for that to happen –
My goodness, NJ climate activists are being praised by NJ media for having a phone call with the Murphy DEP, so the bar can not get any lower.
