Congress established the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska; today, Biden and unelected regulators are putting 40% of it off limits UPDATE: Copper, too

Who needs our own oil and gas supplies when our friends around the world are willing to provide it?

“I haven’t heard a word of complaint from Russia, Iran, or Venezuela; heck, even my friends in China approve”.

Earlier this year Biden froze the construction of new LNG export facilities and restricted the export of existing production on the same theory: Russia and Iran can supply all of Europe’s needs _ what could possibly go wrong? Frankly,” he admitted to FWIW, “I’ve been terribly embarrassed that, under Trump, we allowed America to become the largest exporter of fossil fuels in the world; and I’m determined to bring back the dependency on foreign oil that the Light Bringer achieved.”

Corporations can’t commit to multi-year, multi-billion dollar investments if they can be stopped and started at the whim of each changing administration, so even if Trump wins this November, we won’t see new drilling. And that’s the point of this, and their goal. Extinction now.

Here’s a look at the man who’s directing our energy policy and the country in whole:

Good lord, the story is even worse than first thought:

UPDATE: The same order includes the revocation of the road permit required for access to a huge copper find. Copper — you know, that stuff that’s essential for wind turbines and all those electric cars they’re forcing on us? Asked by FWIW’s (planned for) Energy reporter whether this latest move would not just further our dependence on China,which already dominates the world’s copper supply, Biden laughed hysterically. “Are you kidding? We don’t to let you any cars, however they’re powered, and electricity? What are you, a comedian?”
