I agree with Heather Cox Richardson . It is a strategic move to weaken Democratic chances in upcoming election. Democrat strategy better. get on this manipulation. Follow the money, who profits?

Why has no one mentioned that the UnitedStates is sitting on mega amounts of oil, if this administration would just turn on the spigots!! As we say in Texas…..Drill Baby Drill!

And much of our energy and international dependency problems would go away. Fossil fuels are here to stay…..even as the world eventually evolves to more green energy. Let’s work together to get the energy debate back on track….for the entire world!

This week we saw the President proclaim, "no on f***s with a Biden. Apparently the Saudis didn't get the message. But what is left unsaid, is that we are living with the consequences of Biden's attack on America's fossil fuel industry and adherence to the Green Agenda.

While China and India continue to rely on coal based energy, the European countries and North American countries cower when a teenager Greta Thunberg lectures us on energy policies. And as Biden curries favor with the Iranians in trying to revie the deal that Obama negotiated and Trump cancelled, he further alienates the Saudis.

And now we have a President raising the specter of a nuclear Armageddon. We need to pray for America and the world as Biden is clearly in over his head.

The finger may also be from opec as representative of a larger total oil industry that has been vilified and worthy of civilized prosecution for the carbon it’s product emit. Perhaps understandable from a rejected and formerly embraced member in good standing of an international community in love with its products and ability to assist and in fact enable societies growth and prosperity. Certainly not a response to be embraced but understandable.

This is one example of the unintended consequences of this government's and media's hysteria over climate change. For a comprehensive discussion, I recommend this recent Reason presentation
