President Joe Biden announced on Tuesday the United States would target 'the main artery of Russia's economy' with a ban on energy imports from Moscow, while acknowledging the financial squeeze it would put on Americans already paying record-high prices at the pump. 'Americans have rallied support -- have rallied to support the Ukrainian people and made it clear we will not be part of subsidizing Putin's war,' Biden said at the White House.He also hit back at Republican accusations that his administration cut back US oil and gas production -- pointing out that he actually pumped more oil than his predecessor Donald Trump did during his

These people are incredibly stupid. He wants to transition hundreds of millions of people from fossil fuels, which have been used forever, to green energy which isn't even fully developed. How many electric cars are available? How many fill up stations are available? What about public transportation - buses, trains, cabs, school buses - how many are available? They're like 6 year old kids. They thought of it so it's doable. Someone else can figure out how to make it work.

What a steaming pile. I suspect it's inserted to distract the people from noticing that he isn't loosening the stranglehold his admin has placed on our domestic production. HE is driving up prices by directly reducing available suppliers.

If Biden truly hasn't cut oil production in the United States, please tell me how we went from being energy independent under Mr. Trump's administration to being dependent on foreign oil under Biden's. Someone explain that to me, please.

A total, flagrant, outright lie. His idiot Secretary of Energy was asked yesterday what the daily consumption of oil was in the USA and she answered “I don’t know, I don’t have that information..”. WTH! If a Trump Energy Secretary did not know that they would appropriately be fired on the spot.

The vast majority of America's electricity (that stuff you charge e.v. with) comes from burning fossil fuels. The only way to increase electrical generation to meet the dramatic increase in demand that would come this is even more fossil fuel. They won't allow any new nuclear plants and wind and solar are about a zero sum gain over their lifetimes in comparision to the vast amounts of fossil fuel it takes to create them. None of this is speculation, which means that all of it is absurd. But people like the taste of the green kool-aide so they will belief whatever the old man is serving.

I believe him just like I believe that he was a Professor at University of Pennsylvania. How much fuel does he us every weekend to go to Delaware and back? How much fuel did Kamala use to go to Selma last week to march in a parade? When this idiots give up crisscrossing the country all the time, I might think they are on to something. Tell those millionaire Hollywood idiots to give up their private jets. Tell Obama to give up his mansions in Hawaii and on Nantucket. He has to use jet fuel to go from one to the other. Their hypocrisy is showing and it ain't pretty.

It's so blatantly obvious that their objective is to destroy the middle class and the country, they're not even trying to hide it anymore. Perhaps their goal right now is to inflict as much damage as they can before the elections in November.

Thanks to Biden, only our adversaries are now allowed unlimited production of fossil fuels. Shortly, they'll be able to blackmail us for any reason they can dream up. Thanks, Joe.

He can say anything he wants. He knows the evening news and cable won't correct him. His demonic followers will come up with some convoluted explanation that 'proves' his lie.
The reality is nothing positive is working as well as it did during Trump's administration. No matter who says what or what is passed off as 'fact' checked. Gas will be $7 a gallon and the only people happy about that don't drive their own cars or work for a living.

I heard that idiot and he didn't even understand what he was reading. First claims that he's going not going to continue to accept the oil of a despot, and act all moral and righteous about it, after taking payments for his entire family from despots even worse that Putin. He also blamed the loss of Russian oil would cause gas prices to continue to rise. Right, that's what is causing it.
Then he claims that "his administration cut back US oil and gas production -- pointing out that he actually pumped more oil than his predecessor Donald Trump did "in his FIRST year in office".
Trump made us a net exporter of oil. Our oil went on the world market where it drove the price of oil DOWN and took the teeth out of OPEC and loosened their grip all over the world. Why else would the Saudi's enter into serious peace talks? They no longer had the thing everyone else wanted.
We cannot wait for their stupid EV's and all of their infrastructure promises. We are hurting NOW. If these people really were concerned about the American people Bonehead should suspend ALL federal gas TAXES and ask the governors to do the same. As high as they, are it would go some in reducing the price per gallon in many areas. In my county in Illinois it would be about $.67 per gallon, and much higher in other counties and Chicago who have additional taxes on gas.

Feed it to the brain dead. It’s time to transition to someone that knows how to run a country instead of push an extremist ridiculous agenda.

So the West is going to pay 30% more for their oil and gas. The Saudi's will use the extra money to buy more Russian military equipment.

Love how the democrats spin (lie) things.
President Trump was under the gun and being attacked from all angles even before he became POTUS, so any of the comments or comparisons are not based in any fairness.
But, democrats don't care, and only hope to fool just enough people to think they're doing something, anything, and will forget if anything improved as a result.

Sooo, Biden would rather, ''subsidize,'' communist Venezuela and, ...gulp!, Iran?!!! What is the difference?! All we seem to see in this irresponsible Biden policy is that he is helping America's enemies while hurting America and USA citizens. And at the heart of this entire issue is the fact that before Biden & the leftist dems & RINOS managed to get into office, America was energy independent and the world enjoyed peace & prosperity with Pres Trump. The world prospers with good leaders but now suffers under bad ones. sad

I was in a social/professional setting this morning when the president made his statement on the overhead TV. After gales of laughter at his remarks the conversation reverted to his sanity and the state of our government. It was so sad and depressing to know that we are all screwed-- and normal people know it!

YOU can transition to clean energy Pedo Joe. I'M keeping my internal combustion engine right where it belongs - under the hood of my car. And 'clean energy' is a myth. Something is either added or removed to create energy - someone/something loses, someone/something gains.
In this case with the 'clean energy' you're touting We The People will LOSE and you smarmy Elites will WIN.
No thanks - I'm keeping my car.
