Fox News (Yahoo News): President Biden's administration is expected to propose a limited plan for expanding oil drilling in Alaska in the coming days, relenting on its longtime opposition to domestic oil production. ...

Critics have argued it is hypocritical for Biden to oppose drilling on U.S. soil even while urging foreign producers to ramp up their own production levels. One report surfaced in the fall showing that Biden's administration had approved a plan for the oil producer Chevron to resume drilling in Venezuela even as he opposed doing so in the U.S.

"It's not like the Biden administration is opposed to energy extraction and drilling, no, they're just opposed to it domestically for cheap political accounting tricks that claim that they're fighting global warming while offshoring," ClimateDepot.com publisher Marc Morano told Fox News at the time. "This is something that Americans have to recognize."

The Climate Depot's Marc Morano says give Democrats another four years in power, this will be us before too long. “We don’t get to vote on any of this,” he says. “This is the great reset in action. It’s the great energy reset.” “We’re suffering from transportation shortages. We’re suffering from food shortages based on the net zero agenda. And of course, we’re suffering from energy shortages. There’s going to be fines on people if they use their thermostats.” The kicker in England is they're having to conserve after years of investing in wind and solar. “Europe for the first time since the industrial revolution, of 150 plus years ago occurred, they’re now fearing winter,” says Morano. “This is insane, and they’ve shot themselves in the foot.”

Peiser: "In Europe, we are degrading our own economies and degrading our nations, in the name of saving the planet without doing anything about CO2 emissions because we are just shifting them abroad, we're just exporting them. That is at the core of all these 27 COPs we've seen over the last 30 years. It's always the same outcome. The developing world, China, India, are not going to risk their own economies, the well-being of their people, their energy security, their national security. We're doing it and we're paying the price for it. And this is the biggest warning to Americans: If you want to avoid your energy bills going up fourfold, don't do what we are doing."

DAVID STROM: Power shortages, though, are a different beast. Shortages result from human failures, particularly a failure to plan for predictable increased need for power. Relying on intermittent power sources, insufficient backup, and failing to invest in reliability...The federal government has been pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into infrastructure investments, but the goal has been to implement a “green new deal,” not to ensure that our electrical grid is optimally reliable for the end customers. This is malfeasance...At best, they don’t care whether it is reliable. At worst, they intend to produce shortages to constrain our mobility, shrink our living spaces, and even socialize the provision of heat and electricity...

People don’t choose poverty for themselves, but the power hungry often choose it for others. A vibrant middle class is difficult to manage. People living a life of drudgery less so...There are plenty of examples where countries have done it. Venezuela, Cuba, China in the 50s & 60s, the Soviet Union all chose to follow policies that made life worse for ideological reasons.

Eco-Terrorists suspected of vandalizing power stations, thousands without power

Morano on Joe Piscopo Show: But here's the here's the big -- the bigger picture. Yeah, this is kind of like the guy holding up at gunpoint and taking your wallet on the street. But the real terrorism to the grid isn't coming from the people attacking this grid. It's coming from people like [former California Governor] Arnold Schwarzenegger, who 15 years ago signed the 'historic' California climate legislation, which led to California facing blackouts and the highest electricity prices in the country.

The real terrorists to our grid are the Green New Deal proposals and the Inflation Reduction Act, and solar and wind mandates. There is no reason why any modern grid should have energy shortages. The only reason they have shortages is because of the green agenda that's infiltrated itself into our energy policy due to due to politics based on wacky ideological science. So we can be mad at these activists for actually torching and destroying the grid or going after SUVs. But the real culprit is green energy policies.
