"Number one, no more subsidies for fossil fuel industry. No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period, ends, number one." (Candidate Joe Biden, Democratic Presidential debates, March 15, 2020.)
Well, whatever else we might say about Biden, we can’t say he fudged on that campaign pledge. One consequential calamity stares us in the face every time we pump gas.
One calamity Greenies often trumpet in support of Biden’s Green New Deal is the BP oil spill off the Louisiana coast in April, 2010. For those who only remember the hysterical headlines of the time,

I repudiate all of Zhoa's energy policies.

IF we were still energy independent, and IF we built some refineries here, we could have 1 dollar per gallon gas here, regardless of what russia does.

The only energy independence plan I know of is a President Donald John Trump administration.

It's hard to believe but Biden has been more effective than the Wise and Magnificent Kenyan in destroying the country. Obama was only able to get three trillion dollars out of the taxpayers in his stimulus boondoggle, he only gave Iran $6 billion and he only destroyed a couple of small countries although creating ISIS is a plus. He closed down oil wells in the Gulf while Biden closed down energy production almost completely and Obie's implementation of Fast & Furious meant to confiscate our firearms was a big bust. Biden did receive a little help from COVID but everything started by the lazy Kenyan has been one-upped by Biden, including the racial strife in the country and the corruption of every 3-lettered department we have. Obama surrendered in Iraq but he didn't leave much behind when he pulled troops but Biden managed to leave Afghanistan with thousands of hostages and $80 billion in modern military equipment. That's impressive. Biden has also stolen many more millions of dollars via his position than Obama has but he has had 47 years to do it while Obie only had two terms. Barry and Michelle introduced LGBTQ preference in government because of their own proclivities but Biden has made it official policy. The only thing left for Joe to execute the coup de grace is to come after our weapons in a more serious way. C'mon man, you can do it.

Glad to hear this truth coming out, I'm actually amazed to see this published. Note that it is NOT in any of the "Mainstream Media". This story is forbidden there.
One of the bioresearch projects I worked on in Armenia had a US partner that has part of it's business to sell cleanup bacteria for oil refineries. They also worked with the Armenian scientists on developing bacterial products which benefit plant growth. We worked on helping stabilize nitrogen fixing bacteria for this purpose, but I haven't been in touch since the project ended about 2011.
One part of their 'useful bacteria' business is, if you have a small spill of oil at a refinery or other industrial site, sprinkle on their special blend of live bacteria, and water and the bacteria consume the oil, quickly turning it into harmless water, carbon dioxide, etc.
With the huge 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, they saw an opportunity, and decided to try to quickly develop a way to clean beaches with their bio-technology. They took an existing rototiller, added a bacteria liquid tank, a pump, and nozzles down next to the spinning tines to spray the bacteria into the churned up oily sand. They got a couple of prototypes built, tested and then they started out to market them on the gulf coast beaches - the areas that the media was screaming for weeks about the "destruction of the beaches" and "death for all animals" and "they'll be dead zones for years".
In the six or seven weeks it took to build and test the prototype, take it to the gulf beaches and arrange for demonstrations for the various cities on the coast......95% of the oil was just gone. The natural bacteria had "ramped up" their populations (tracking the abundance of their food source - oil -, as always in nature). So, he had no takers in the beach cleaning system....because the natural systems had already taken care of it.
At the time, the lying Enemedia talked endlessly about how all the suddenly missing oil had "sunk to the bottom of the gulf, to remain there, beyond cleanup, and poison the gulf for decades". This is, of course, complete non-sense because oil is lighter than water CANNOT sink to the bottom, and because what had really happened to the oil was that the naturally occurring bacteria had eaten it all.
Since this natural process of rapid biodegradation of oil spills is NOT APPROVED for public consumption by the anti-oil, anti-drilling GreenCrazies®, the truth was never told.
I was aware of this process because an old college friend is a marine biologist, and he explained it to me years ago. Another friend is a water quality watershed expert. He also was aware of this natural cleanup of oil spills by existing strains of bacteria.
But, the main media will never acknowledge this natural cleanup. They love their "oil spill porn" of death and destruction and love to lie about how horrible oil drilling is, always "destroying the environment" and further yammering for more bird chopping windmills and ultra expensive solar panels. Oil is natural, has been leaking out literally forever, and bacteria have been digesting it for millenia.
How about La Brea tar pits? In a park in downtown LA, oil still bubbles out of holes in the ground, runs across the grass, making nasty little messes....but the grass grows right next to the oil flows, green and lush, and as the oil is washed away and digested, the plants grow right back.

It’s a democrat tradition…Blame someone else…Obama blamed Bush….Biden tried to blame Trump…that didn’t work tooo well…,so now Biden blames Putin…

Strike 3, my gut tells me that The HairSniffer has been more effective at destroying America than Zero, simply because it is Zero operating the Biden hand-puppet from Behind the Green Curtain. Bia-den is obviously not in charge, and Zero bought himself a nice mansion right down the road, from where he could direct the operations while remaining out of sight. Zero can be as destructive as he wants, but if anyone ever gets any blame, it will be Dementia Joe, NOT HIM

Lots of good information about how Mother Nature cleans up oil spills. I admit to not knowing a lot of it.
