Biden Promises ‘No More Drilling’ And To Close All Coal Energy Plants
Many of the 2022 democratic political campaigns appear to be using Joe Biden’s 2020 playbook.
The blueprint consists of taking compliant radicals, many of whom are who are poor communicators, providing scripts for them to read during very limited public appearances, and then relying on hundreds of millions of dark money to blast their opponents online and on local television networks.
When their candidates are elected, the left’s policies are leading to increased crime, inflation, failing schools, and cultural division.
The problem for Democrats in the 2022 midterms elections is Americans are not happy with the bill of goods they were deceived into voting for 2 years ago.
After 20 months of the US dealing with Biden’s agenda, the 80-year-old declining president’s approval number with independents has plummeted to only 28%.
WOW – @JoeBiden is a disaster! https://t.co/slLafNc5WG

In an apparently calculated effort to energize the far left wing of the democratic party, Joe Biden is out attacking fossil fuels even in states that rely on these traditional energy-producing industries for their economic success.
Last Friday, Biden vowed to shut down coal plants “all across America”
Biden claimed that coal plants “cost too much money.”
“So it’s going to become a wind generation,” Biden said at an event in Carlsbad, California. “And all they’re doing is it’s going to save them a hell of a lot of money and using the same transmission line that they transmitted the coal-fired electric on.”
Biden proclaimed, “We’re going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar power.”
On Sunday, President Joe Biden promised “no more drilling” after a climate protester confronted him at a campaign event for New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D).
Toward the end of his speech, a clearly agitated Biden responded to a heckler who criticized him for not stopping offshore oil drilling.
“No more drilling,” Biden declared. “There is no more drilling. I haven’t formed any new drilling.”
“There are at least five more years of offshore drilling,” the protester shouted back, “not in the Atlantic or the Pacific but in the Antarctic and off the gulf of Mexico.”
Biden then told the heckler those leases were finalized “before I was president,” explaining that “we’re trying to work on that and get that done.” It is not exactly clear what Biden was referring to, but it sounded like he confirmed that his administration is trying to end offshore drilling, thus further decreasing American oil production and increasing our reliance on foreign energy.
Biden actually spoke with the woman after the event, the Washington Examiner reported.

“So it’s going to become a wind generation,” Biden said on Friday. “And all they’re doing is it’s going to save them a hell of a lot of money and using the same transmission line that they transmitted the coal-fired electric on.”
“We’re going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar power,” Biden proclaimed.
The White House later claimed Biden’s remarks had been “twisted to suggest a meaning that was not intended” — but Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) did not buy it.
“President Biden’s comments are not only outrageous and divorced from reality, but ignore the severe economic pain the American people are feeling because of rising energy costs,” Manchin responded in a statement.
“Comments like these are the reason the American people are losing trust in President Biden and instead believes he does not understand the need to have an all-in energy policy that would keep our nation totally energy independent and secure,” he proclaimed. “It seems his positions change depending on the audience and the politics of the day.”
