Joe Biden has claimed that he’s doing everything he can to bring down the price of gas. That, of course, is a lie since this all started because of him putting his foot on the neck of the energy industry. Biden and his administration have also made it clear that the pain is the point — that the most important thing is the Democrats’ climate mantra and the transition away from fossil fuels, whether or not that’s even something that Americans want and however it might hurt Americans.
But if you thought they already were trying to do everything they could to harm the economy and the country, the Senate Democrats are signaling they want to do even more.
They know they can’t get what they want through Congress because they don’t have the votes and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) dropkicked their dreams, blocking their spending ambitions.
So Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI) and Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) are now urging Biden to get what they want by declaring a “climate emergency” so that they could then employ the Defense Production Act to force their climate goals on the country through a wide range of renewable projects including solar panels.
