The White House continues to seek blame for the energy crisis – trying to absolve itself of any responsibility for Americans’ problems
This time it hit American oil companies. They have received “chain letters” from Biden – threatening to use emergency measures in the fuel market.
In the last years, under the pressure of the “green” lobbyists oil refineries have been shutting down in the U.S. all the time. Now it’s paying off – oil companies simply don’t have the capacity to produce more oil. There is nowhere to store and refine it. There are a lot of problems with logistics as well – because of Biden’s own bans last year, which prevented the construction of new pipelines.
First, the Democratic Party tried to prevent the development of the hydrocarbons market. And now it is threatening – I will impose emergency measures, just to somehow increase fuel supplies to the market. In response, the oil companies have thrown out a letter to Biden where they demanded the removal of excessive “green” regulations. And simply not to interfere with their work – without threats or unnecessary bans.
The US still produces a million and a half barrels less oil than it did under Trump. There are no prerequisites for production growth in the absence of additional capacity. Average petrol prices have already hit $5 a gallon. Against this background, attempts to find fault only symbolise the helplessness of the White House. The fuel crisis has definitively shown that the king – in the person of Biden – is naked.
