Liberals in Congress are pressing President Joe Biden to invoke emergency powers to push ahead with Democrats' climate change agenda and to put new restrictions on fossil fuels, even while gasoline remains at its highest per-gallon price on record.
With legislation stalled in Congress, the nearly 100-member Congressional Progressive Caucus released a slate of policy recommendations Thursday for Biden to pursue, calling on him to use executive action to deal with a list of topics his "Build Back Better" agenda sought to address, including the development of more green energy technologies and placement of restrictions on new fossil fuel production.

Climate lock down at the beginning of October. Plenty of time to print up ballots and mail 3 or 4 to every person and pet in America.

Are they crazy?
Are they that anxious to destroy us?
They aren't happy with a want in Ukraine, they want one here too.
Inflation is already eating us up, and they want more of it.
WTH do they think farmers use in their tractors?

It's amazing what a "president" can achieve when he doesn't have to fight his own party to get anything done.

The Dems have an agenda, and we are not a part of it. If most of are dead, the Dems will have reduced fossil fuel consumption.

This is excellent. Start by banning multi mansions, private jets and black SUVs traveling in caravan. This will inhibit the biggest carbon hogs in this country, AKA liberal elites.
Plus every future climate conference in Davos.

Someone needs to slap these loons the next time they caterwaul about helping “the poor”. Everything they do makes lives more expensive and less free.

Sure, that makes a lot of sense. Lets just finish destroying the US economy on purpose in the name of a special interest groups fanatical obsession with a theory that cannot be proven about the climate changing. Turn control of the US economy over to the crazies and let them run our country into the ground.

#3, You are so correct! People have no idea how much petroleum products effect our everyday lives. Without it, we go back to the stone age. These idiots have no idea what they are asking and how this would affect their own existence. Completely stupid times 100! The Left is on the march and trying to take our country down.

If they do that it's going to be a shooting war! There aren't enough electric cars. there isn't sufficient electrical grid to charge them. On top of that, the plants generating the electricity burn fossil fuels that might as well go to gas for cars. We all need transportation, of which 99.9% is powered by fossil fuels, to get to work to get to food sources to grow crops - you name it.
If Biden and company try to shut down the economy any further, there will be blood spilled, and I advise everyone who is shooting to look first to the people behind Biden and company - the Soros' the WEF members, because he's dancing on their string.
Live Free or Die, folks!

1)Political suicide.
2)An emergency appeal to SCOTUS as only Congress can do this & therefore appeal granted.
3)GOP margin in Congress will be greatly increased.

Nothing is stopping all of the Democrat greenies in Congress from personally stopping using all fossil fuels immediately as an example of their firm commitment to stopping "global warming". They can give up their big houses, expensive cars & limos, fancy clothes, and flying on jets all over the place. Why wait for Congressional action or Biden to take actions. Take responsibility for global warming upon yourself and set an example for everyone else for how they want us to live. They can wear sackcloths or only wear used clothing from Goodwill (recycling!). Move into tiny homes with wind and solar power built really close together in the city so they can bike or walk everywhere. Come on AOC, give up you Tesla and nice condo and live the green life you talk about but wouldn't be caught dead actually living!

Calling COVID an "emergency" was just the beginning. From now on, every issue they prioritize will become an 'emergency.' January 6th? Systemic Racism? Climate change? Abortion rights? Gun control? Pro Election fraud laws? They'll all be labeled as emergencies.
