| Energy Realism this past week looked at those benefiting from the “green energy” obsession: predictably, Joe Biden’s own friends. His energy plan is very intermittent and extremely high cost, and we simply must support those politicians pushing back. Mark Brnovich gets us started: pretty much everything that Joe Biden is doing on energy is increasing prices. But incredibly, maybe that is actually the plan. It appears increasingly obvious that the agenda is to purposefully surge the price of conventional energy sources to force the unreliable and far more expensive “alternative” ones into the complex, namely wind, solar, and inconvenient electric cars. Bluntly put, the financial security of many families is now in jeopardy because the Biden administration cares more about appeasing radical environmentalists rather than regaining the energy independence and low prices that we had under President Trump. For example, Kilian Laverty knows that a carbon border adjustment is a highly misguided policy that will further hurt American families and businesses already struggling. Levi Russell says that it actually gets much worse. This administration wants to ban the very things that have built our prosperous civilization. They want to make us dependent and insecure as we are forced to move toward their supposedly glorious “green” utopia. The Biden administration, with the help of Democrat majorities in both houses of Congress, is hell-bent on enriching their friends as they impoverish low- and middle-income Americans. Daniel Turner realizes we must support Joe Manchin. There is a reason his approval rating in West Virginia has soared 17% in the last year. Joe Manchin is standing up to Joe Biden. And we are standing with him.
