During an interview aired on Friday’s broadcast of Bloomberg’s “Wall Street Week,” Harvard Professor, economist, Director of the National Economic Council under President Barack Obama, and Treasury Secretary under President Bill Clinton Larry Summers reacted to OPEC+’s production cut by stating that “we made a mistake by canceling the Keystone pipeline. We made a mistake by slowing down all kinds of permitting activity. We made a mistake by being hostile as a country to natural gas.” And arguing that “we need a different kind of energy strategy than the one that we’ve had. We need a strategy that is balanced, rather than an unbalanced

But an unbalanced energy policy is what the Left want, along with unreliable markets, insufficient supplies, and skyrocketing prices. They're getting just what they want, and need to be put out of power.

Well it's something that an Obama assoc. admits what the whitehouse idiot did was a huge mistake. I doubt you will hear Obama admit it also but I also doubt he will continue to attach his wagon to Biden. It's only a matter of time before dumbo also abandons the moron.

He's right, of course, if you put aside the Royal "WE". I didn't have anything to do with it. On the other hand, this isn't the 1st time Larry Summers has been a fly in the Democrat appointment.

Who woke up the lease bucket Summers? He's been nothing but garbage his entire career, that would include his tenure as President of Harvard, when the school took a real lurch left toward the communist pit of vipers it is today.

We’re sitting on 500 years worth of gas, coal and oil and we are trying to transition to sunshine, wind and unicorn urine. This is madness.

# 10 You're correct. The thing with greenie energy is that it involves payoffs, kickbacks and complete control over people. Gas, oil and coal = freedom and cheap abundant energy, the left does not approve.

What's this "WE" stuff, white man. Everyone with functioning synapses knew that Joe and his Green Morons were making a huge mistake. "WE" had nothing to say about it because they stole the election from one of the few sane men in Washington. MAGA and FJB

Read the last paragraph - he's still in thrall to renewables.
FTA: "We crucially need regulatory relief or we’re not going to get renewables online fast, and we’re not going to get the transmission lines that are necessary for renewables to become a large part of our energy fast."
You can't fix stupid.

Larry, Larry, Larry, as one of the three stooges, you should know EVERYTHING the democraps (aka commies) do is a mistake. Real history is clear about this. Only low IQ, gullible, morons vote for them.

Dem policy is ALL based on government involvement, control, monetary kickbacks or reasons to demand more taxes, and virtue signaling. Providing essential abundant and cheap energy for Americans is not on dem radar.

In other words, you need the Republican strategy, which has espoused a balanced and "all of the above" approach to energy sources.

Well it was biteme's stated plan in the election campaign. He ran on this. Where was Summers warning us of this before the 2020? The only one warning us was Trump.
Where was Summers to back him up?
