Meanwhile, China gives the globe the finger when it comes to fake man made global warming

“Reducing emissions is not about reducing productivity, and it is not about not emitting at all, either.  We must stick to the overall planning and ensure energy security, industrial supply chain security and food security at the same time as cutting carbon emissions.”

 

But unfortunately for American consumers like you and I, they’re not the words of our president -- they’re the words of China’s President Xi Jinping.

 

Rather than follow President Biden’s path to energy suicide, President Xi’s words reflect the belief that China’s low-carbon goals should not come at the expense of energy and food security or the “normal life of the masses.”

 

And despite being the world’s biggest emitter of greenhouse gasses, China continues to view sweeping pledges to reduce carbon dioxide emissions as a risk to jobs and economic growth -- important national priorities -- and has taken a cautious approach to Paris agreement and COP26 pledges to reduce emissions. 

 

To that end, China is actively building coal-fired and nuclear power plants and refineries, along with increasing its processing rates at refineries and its domestic coal production. 

 

In contrast, President Biden has blocked the building of new coal-fired power plants in the United States, sees nuclear power as too expensive due to onerous regulations, and is rejoicing as many U.S. refineries retool to produce renewable fuels. 

 

The result? Unlike in China, where the government is prioritizing economic stability and “normal life,” here in the United States American consumers and American families are the ones paying the price for the Biden administration’s anti-energy policies. 

 

Even as Biden continues to ban pipelines and close public lands to leasing, gas prices are up over a dollar a gallon since President Biden took office. Oil prices are above $90 a barrel. And energy prices for home heating, from natural gas to electricity, are significantly higher this winter. (According to the US Energy Information Agency, prices on natural gas -- used to heat nearly half of U.S. homes -- are up as much as 45% regionally.)

 

So -- what’s it going to take for President Biden to come to his senses and recognize that China is getting it right, while the United States is getting it very, very wrong when it comes to energy security?

 

Currently, U.S. leaders talk about an “all of the above” energy policy, which effectively translates into “nothing from below the ground” or no fossil fuels. Meanwhile, China is using all its resources to amplify human strength and grow its economy for its people. 

 

So it’s no wonder that the gap between the two economies is rapidly shrinking as China pursues the energy necessary for growth and to allow its people to flourish. The United States is currently napping, and the signs are becoming evident everywhere.

 

The Biden administration would be wise to follow President Xi’s example on energy policy, since Biden’s current anti-oil and gas policies are escalating gasoline and heating costs for millions of Americans -- just when we can least afford those increases.
