President Biden used his State of the Union Address to blame everyone and everything else for rising energy prices except his own anti-production policies.

Natural gas prices have escalated because of President Biden’s anti-oil and gas policies that are limiting pipeline infrastructure and increased production on federal lands, while the promise of pending regulatory actions add uncertainty to investments. As soon as Biden got inaugurated, he started implementing his domestic...

For the last fifty years, with one notable exception, U.S. presidents have used their State of the Union Address to push for expensive, unreliable, and politically motivated sources of energy.

This year it is likely Joe Biden will return to this trend in his address to the nation and champion his so-called "Build Back Better" agenda which would give BILLIONS of dollars to special interest groups working to make...

Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon: “Mr. Biden, tear up your energy policy. Let Wyoming power our country.”

The White House and top Democratic lawmakers are considering a federal gasoline tax holiday , potentially pausing fees at the pump to help combat rising gasoline prices. The hypocrisy of that move is almost laughable given that it is President Biden’s energy policies that are causing the high gasoline prices. It is Biden on his first day in office canceling the Keystone XL Pipeline....

The White House unveiled a framework to provide $5 billion  to states to expand their electric vehicle charging networks toward President Biden’s promise to build 500,000 charging stations by the end of the decade to help achieve his goal of having half of all new vehicle sales by 2030 be electric. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has asked the states to provide plans to the federal government before receiving the money. The framework calls on states to prioritize building charging...

According to The New York Times, President Biden is imposing a tariff of between 14 percent and 15 percent for the next four years on imported crystalline silicon solar products, but his administration at the same time doubled  the amount of solar cells that can come into the country without facing tariffs to 5 gigawatts and exempted bifacial solar panels from the levies “to help ensure that solar deployment in the United States continues at the pace and scale needed to meet the...

If you thought that the $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill passed by Congress last year would fix America’s roads and bridges, think again. Only $40 billion in the bill is allocated to roads and bridges with just $26.5 billion for fixing the nation’s bridges. The $40 billion is a pittance compared to the $156 billion  for mass transit and rail that the bill funds despite low ridership that was made even worse than normal due to the coronavirus pandemic. People are afraid to be confined in...
