Kerry admits Biden is seeking to eliminate fossil fuels by driving gas prices through the roof

This is not a secret to the MSM in the US but you might think so to read all the leftist opposition to claims that Biden has a major responsibility in the current skyrocketing costs of gasoline at the pump.

U.S. ‘Won’t Have Coal’ by 2030, John Kerry Predicts in Glasgow​

Will Wade, Bloomberg News

John Kerry, U.S special presidential envoy for climate, speaks during a Bloomberg Television interview in New York, U.S. on Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2021. China must move more swiftly to pare greenhouse gas emissions and turn away from coal-fired power to help the world stave off the worst consequences of global warming, the top U.S. climate diplomat said Wednesday. , Bloomberg
(Bloomberg) -- John Kerry, the U.S. special envoy for climate, predicted the world’s biggest economy will stop burning coal by the end of the decade.

“By 2030 in the United States, we won’t have coal,” Kerry said Tuesday during an interview with Bloomberg Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait, at the COP26 climate conference in Glasgow. “We will not have coal plants.”

The U.S. has a long way to go to become coal free. President Joe Biden’s most ambitious efforts to wean the nation from fossil fuels through a $1.75 trillion spending bill have been thwarted by opposition from Senator Joe Manchin, a Democrat from coal-rich West Virginia. Manchin holds a key swing vote in the Senate and has pushed to remove provisions hostile to coal.

The U.S. gets nearly 25% of its electricity from the fuel, and many of the nation’s largest power companies don’t plan to phase out their emissions from fossil fuels until 2050.

The shift away from coal will be driven in part by market forces that are making natural gas and renewables more cost-effective power sources than the dirtiest fossil fuel. Those trends are getting a boost from President Joe Biden’s plan to eliminate carbon emissions from the U.S. power grid by 2035.
“We’re saying we are going to be carbon free in the power sector by 2035,” Kerry said. “I think that’s leadership. I think that’s indicative of what we can do.”

Biden is shutting down oil imports from Russia and blaming the rise of gas prices at the pump on Russia. He is partly right. His restrictions on the American oil industries, his subsequent pleas to foreign oil producers to lower gasoline prices in America, and his restrictions on oil imports all play a huge role in the skyrocketing of gas prices in America. Biden's foolish energy policies will hurt the poor the most and the longest, proving Biden and his cohorts do not care for the sufferings of poor Americans in the slightest.

Biden bans Russia oil imports to U.S., warns U.S. gasoline prices will rise further

U.S. President Joe Biden announced a ban on Russian oil and other energy imports on Tuesday in retaliation for the invasion of Ukraine, underscoring strong bipartisan support for a move that he acknowledged would drive up U.S. energy prices.

WASHINGTON, March 8 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden announced a ban on Russian oil and other energy imports on Tuesday in retaliation for the invasion of Ukraine, underscoring strong bipartisan support for a move that he acknowledged would drive up U.S. energy prices.

"We're banning all imports of Russian oil and gas energy," Biden told reporters at the White House. "That means Russian oil will no longer be acceptable in U.S. ports and the American people will deal another powerful blow to (Russian President Vladimir) Putin's war machine."

Senator Ted Cruz exposes Biden's dishonesty in seeking to blame rising gas prices on Russia instead of taking the blame himself as he should.

Ted Cruz hammers Biden for claiming the Russian invasion is solely to blame for high gas prices: 'This is a flat-out lie' | Blaze Media

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) ripped into President Joe Biden (D) for attempting to pin all of the blame on higher gas prices on the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Cruz was referring to comments from Biden to reporters on Tuesday saying that gas prices would get worse, but he was powerless to do...

"And the result of Biden's presidency has been that the enemies of America, countries like Russia, like Iran, like Venezuela are all getting stronger, getting richer, getting more aggressive, getting more hostile," he continued, "because the president is simultaneously weakening our own ability to produce energy and strengthening their ability to produce energy."

NBC reported that the shift in messaging was purposeful by the White House after taking the blame for gas prices and increasing inflation before the invasion.

What is really going on with the democrat opposition to fossil fuels and support for higher gasoline prices?

On Monday, we saw Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg tell people who can’t afford $4 gas that they should buy $60k Electric Vehicles. It should be clear by now to even the dumbest people that, together with the promotion of this war, the Climate Change agenda being promoted by the Globalists is about collapsing the West, ending the Petrodollar and ending the US dollar as a reserve currency. Everything we see from the propped-up corpse of a Biden Presidency is about the Globalists’ controlled demolition of American sovereignty, power and prestige.

How Dems Helped Spike Gas Prices​

L.A. gas prices, March 7, 2022


Despite reassurances from the White House that it is doing nothing to discourage oil companies from opening new drill sites, President Joe Biden's allies in Congress just months ago pressured oil executives to decrease outputs because of climate change, raising questions about the Democratic Party's strategy to lower prices for consumers.
In late October, for example, the House Oversight and Reform Committee called in the CEOs of Exxon, BP, Shell, and Chevron to explain what steps they are taking to produce less oil and gas, with Rep. Hank Johnson (D., Ga.) alleging that "the world can't wait" any longer. At the time, gas prices were hovering around a 10-year high.

The hearing has gained new relevance as a global gas shortage has pushed prices to an all-time high. Prices are rising even more due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with no sign of falling after Biden's announcement that the United States will no longer accept Russian oil imports. Those facts have left Democrats scrambling for a solution before the November midterms as Republicans demand that the White House encourage domestic oil drilling operations.
The president said on Tuesday that his administration's policies are not "holding back domestic energy production," echoing comments from Press Secretary Jen Psaki, who said that "federal policies are not limiting the supplies of oil and gas" before mentioning the thousands of unused pre-approved oil and gas drilling leases.
"You can draw a direct line from how the Democrats marauded energy production yesterday to the unprecedented pain Americans are feeling at the pump today," said CounterPoint Strategies president Jim McCarthy, a policy adviser for leading energy companies.
Some Democrats, such as Rep. Ro Khanna (Calif.), have demanded that domestic oil companies dramatically curtail their domestic operations. At the same time, Khanna has called for the United States to end its dependency on oil imports from countries such as Russia.

In one exchange during the October hearing, Khanna pressed Shell president Gretchen Watkins on whether she agreed that "under the Paris agreement that … we need to have oil and gas production declining every year." After she answered that the company believes "that hydrocarbon demand needs to reduce if we're going to get to net zero [emissions] by 2050," Khanna demanded to know whether Shell will decrease its production by 2 percent each year, a figure initially offered by the company in 2019.
"This is what happens when left-wing Democrat fantasies meet reality. Khanna and other Democrats spent most of the fall trying to strangle the life out of oil and gas companies and are now feigning surprise and evading responsibility at the outcome," said McCarthy.
Khanna also demanded to know whether Chevron CEO Michael Wirth was embarrassed that his company has increased production while "the European counterparts are going down." When Wirth said that global demand has increased, Khanna asked for a commitment to help "bring the actual demand of oil production down."
Rep. Robin Kelly (D., Ill.) continued Khanna's line of questioning Watkins, asking, "Will Shell commit to reducing gas production as part of its emissions reductions plans?"

"In light of the invasion of Ukraine, Rep. Khanna called on President Biden to release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to bring down the price of gas and supports oil companies increasing production at existing facilities in the short term," a Khanna spokeswoman told the Washington Free Beacon. "In the long term, he believes we need a moonshot to develop renewable energy sources to prevent similar situations from happening in the future and have a more diversified energy source."
Kelly's and Johnson's offices did not respond to requests for comment.
The average price for gasoline at the end of Biden's first week of office was $2.39 a gallon. Prices have now hit above $4. Although defenders of the president say the rising prices are forces outside the administration's control, as well as Russian president Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, Republicans say Biden's decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline and institute a moratorium on new gas leases is responsible.
Democrats scheduled a followup hearing with oil executives for Tuesday, March 8. That hearing was subsequently canceled last-minute, with no explanation given.
