Biden’s parting shot at energy abundance
President Joe Biden is (thankfully) on his way out of the White House.
Yet, up to his very last days in office, his administration is still pushing policies that will limit our energy industry and endanger our economy.
With just two weeks left in power, his administration issued a permanent ban on any future offshore oil or natural gas exploration, development, or production in parts of the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Bering Sea.
This is the parting shot from the Biden White House against American energy and the American economy.
During his time in office, Biden has repeatedly pushed regulations punishing traditional energy industries, helped corporate cronies, and caused gas prices to rise to historic highs.
The good news: This failed policy recipe is on its way out.
Washington can pursue an energy policy that makes your life more affordable by ensuring reliable and abundant energy for all Americans.
At this critical moment, it is important to remember how Biden’s assault on American energy raised your electricity bills, the price of gasoline that fuels your car, and the price of your groceries — and how an all-of-the-above strategy will bolster American prosperity.
BIDEN’S ONSLAUGHT AGAINST AMERICAN ENERGY
The Biden administration doled out billions of taxpayer dollars to corporate cronies in the renewable energy industry, made off limits thousands of acres of federal land to oil leasing, canceled the Keystone Pipeline project, and paused the construction of new liquefied natural gas export facilities.
The administration did this in a politically charged strategy to please its base — at the expense of the American taxpayer.
And pay we did. During Biden’s presidency:
- Energy prices soared by nearly 30%
- Gas prices reached an all-time high
- Heating costs for American families skyrocketed
While you paid more at the pump and in electricity bills, the Biden White House made available $341.6 billion of your taxpayer dollars for the pockets of corporate cronies — and hardworking Americans like you got the short end of the stick.
Fortunately, there’s a policy that will help everyday Americans thrive. It’s time for Washington to enact an all-of-the-above energy approach.
ALL-OF-THE-ABOVE ENERGY AND WHY IT BENEFITS YOU
A thriving economy needs abundant energy.
Reliable and affordable energy means you’ll pay less to fill your tank, businesses will have more money to invest, and the economy will grow quickly.
How can we unleash American energy abundance?
By cutting red tape and letting the market work.
Instead of picking winners and losers, Washington should take a freedom-oriented approach to energy policy and eliminate all the unnecessary government barriers that make it harder for businesses to tap America’s immense energy potential.
By making it easier for all energy companies (both traditional and renewables) to develop their projects without unnecessary burdens, our energy production has the potential to rise and as a result, your prices have the potential to nosedive.
How can we do that?
- Streamlining the permitting process ensures energy projects don’t die a death by a thousand – or a hundred – regulations.
- Cut red tape to bring costs down for businesses — and lower prices for you.
- Treat all energy sources equally and stop the regulatory assault on American energy, one that ends with you paying higher prices at the pump.
America doesn’t have to choose one energy source over another; we can choose “all of the above” and fully leverage our existing resources and technology.
This strategy will create more jobs, bring more money into the economy, and make your life more affordable.
America has a golden opportunity to turn these policies into reality — but we need your support.
