The Democrats hate the average American. On Thursday, the Democrats shut down H.R. 6858, the American Energy Independence From Russia Act for the fourth time. Because, um, why should we get clean, available energy from the United States when we can buy from Putin or one of the other autocrats putting out dirty energy. The Democrats don’t want to be green; they just want Americans to pay for not paying obeisance to their Dem overlords.
While Joe Biden was in his broadcast studio announcing his depletion of our Strategic Petroleum Oil Reserves, the Democrats were busy keeping us energy dependent and poor. As our Nina wrote, the Bidenites didn’t consult Europe and none of them are depleting their reserves. But, whatevs, it’s only your money and life.
According to Breitbart.com:
On Thursday, the bill was offered by Rep. Michelle Fischbach (R-MN), who offered up the bill earlier in the month as well. However, it was shot down — for the fourth time — as 218 Democrats in the House voted against the motion, and four did not vote.
The bill, which was initially introduced by Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Bruce Westerman (R-AR) to promote American energy independence at the end of February. The bill would have:
Immediately approved the Keystone XL pipeline.
Removed all restrictions on liquified natural gas (LNG) exports
Restarted oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters — which Biden’s administration halted.
Protected American energy and mineral development from attacks by the administration.
Require the administration to submit an energy security plan within 30 days and requires Biden’s energy secretary to develop a plan to replace oil drawn down from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).
