Energy costs impact literally every American. When energy costs go up, so do the costs of virtually everything else. Manufactured housing is impacted again when the time comes to transport a home from the factory to a retail center, land-lease community or manufactured home development. In the instance of ‘street retailers,’ higher gas (fuel) costs impact is felt again when a home is transported from the retail to its homesite. It is against that backdrop that MHProNews provides the following insights into the politics that are not too far behind the scenes on what is arguably an enforced error by team Biden when it comes to oil production and its interrelated costs.

Facts are what they are, even when some big tech platforms try to muzzle or silence facts.  The following tweet is about Facebook/Meta.

Team Biden blaming Putin doesn’t fit the facts. As an FYI, CNN today published a report on how Putin’s wealth plays into the current conflict. Their report has some elements in common with the 2nd op-ed linked below that is also referenced in the first linked report. However, those op-eds on TampaFP go deeper and the first one beat CNN’s insights by 8 days. Properly understood, the CNN report and our two linked reports via mainstream media below make useful bookends to understanding why sanctions alone will do little in this conflict.

It is against that backdrop that MHProNews provides this first in a series of three fresh news reports that reveal aspects of happenings that may or may not cause a shift in Biden’s current stance on oil production which ultimately impacts energy and fuel costs. Depending on what mainstream media sources you may normally read, these insights could well be new to you.

Leftists demand halt to oil drilling on federal land, insist there’s climate ’emergency’

Claim banning fossil fuels will lead to ‘affordable’ energy

By WND News Services
Published March 17, 2022 at 2:27pm

The Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC), a group of 97 left wing lawmakers, urged President Joe Biden to declare a “climate emergency” and issue a series of bans on federal oil and gas leasing.

The requests were part of the CPC’s proposed agenda for executive action released Thursday that it would like to see the White House pursue moving forward. Democratic Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal is the caucus’ chair and Sen. Bernie Sanders is its sole member from the Senate.

“There is no people-centered agenda that doesn’t include aggressive, bold climate action and reducing our reliance on fossil fuels,” the caucus said in a fact sheet released along with the agenda. “While the executive branch has made progress, there is more to do to meet this moment and lower costs by transitioning to clean energy.”

In addition to declaring a climate emergency, the CPC urged Biden to mobilize domestic renewable energy manufacturing via the Defense Production Act, reinstate a crude oil export ban and build large-scale renewable energy systems nationwide. The Democrats also asked Biden to ban all new federal oil and gas leases.

The CPC agenda also said the White House should move to end all existing fossil fuel subsidies. There are approximately $20 billion in subsidies allocated to the fossil fuel industry every year, according to a 2019 Environmental and Energy Study Institute report.

Biden should finally order the executive branch — including the State Department, Treasury Department and U.S. Export-Import Bank — to phase out all financing for domestic and international fossil fuel projects and reallocate that money toward clean energy projects, the CPC said.

“In order to secure clean air and safe drinking water, healthy communities, energy independence, and a livable climate for all of us, President Biden can and must use every tool available,” Sierra Club legislative director Melinda Pierce said in a statement. “The Biden administration also must leverage the government’s vast purchasing power and rulemaking authority to further expedite the transition from fossil fuel dependence to affordable and secure sources of clean energy.”

Sunrise Movement advocacy director Lauren Maunus added that Biden must “use the full powers of the presidency” to stop climate change and not alienate “his own base.”

However, the CPC’s agenda didn’t address the critical mineral supply chain or increased domestic mining, topics that experts and international energy groups have stressed. The U.S. has fallen behind on mineral production which is important for renewable energy technology.

China controlled about 55% of the world’s mining capacity and 85% of global mineral refining in 2020, a White House supply chain report from June concluded.

Energy Information Administration data also showed that the U.S. government subsidized the renewable energy industry far more than it did the fossil fuel industry, according to the Columbia Climate School. Fossil fuel industry groups have also argued that an oil export ban would shock the global market and benefit hostile actors such as Russia which would fill the gap.

Poll: Nearly 80% of Americans want Biden to boost oil production

‘Nobody believes the preposterous claims that green energy can fix this disaster’

By Bob Unruh
Published March 16, 2022 at 5:29pm

When Joe Biden was elected he immediately attacked the American energy industry.

He canceled the Keystone pipeline project, that was being developed to bring millions of barrels of oil to the U.S. He made it harder to develop natural gas resources. He had a go at making the oil permitting and well drilling processes much harder – or even impossible.

The result was a surge in gasoline prices that contributed to an inflation rate measured at 7.5% for consumers.

Then Russia invaded Ukraine, further destabilizing the world’s energy industries, and pushing that inflation rate in America up to 7.9%.

Voters are fed up.

A new poll from Convention of States Action, in partnership with the Trafalgar Group, one of the most accurate pollsters over recent years, shows that 77.3% of the respondents say in the wake of Russia’s attacks on Ukraine, Biden “should make increasing American energy production a priority.”

Only 9.3% said no.

The results are from a poll March 7-11 of more than 1,000 likely 2022 election voters

“We can see in these numbers that Americans of all political stripes are being heavily impacted at the gas pump and want to see decisive action to ease our inflation-plagued economy. But this is not only about lowering prices, it’s also obvious to everyone that buying oil from our enemies threatens both America’s national security and our economy,” said Mark Meckler, president of Convention of States Action.

In fact, the average price for a gallon of gas in the United States now is well above $4, the highest price in history.

In some locations, those prices are stretching into the $6 and $7 range.

“Voters want Americans to benefit from American-produced energy, Meckler added, “Nobody believes the administration’s preposterous claims that so-called green, alternative energy sources can help us fix this growing disaster, and leaders in both parties would be wise to take immediate steps to change our current energy trajectory.”

The poll showed that even 67% of Democrats want Biden to make boosting American energy production a priority.

For Republicans, it was an overwhelming 88.6% in that category, and for independents, it was 77.6%.

The poll actually was leaning toward Democrats, as 39.3% of the respondents were in that party. Only 35.6% were in the GOP and 25.1% were independents. ##

The third of three reports related to oil and energy spotlights a stance by progressive Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna (CA).  From the WND NewsCenter to MHProNews is this report.

 

Green Democrat says U.S. needs more domestic oil – for now

‘Obviously not consistent with climate aspirations’

By WND News Services
Published March 16, 2022 at 7:23pm

By Thomas Catenacci
Daily Caller News Foundation

Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna, an advocate of aggressive climate policies, acknowledged Wednesday that the U.S. must increase domestic oil production in the “short term.”

Khanna, the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s environment panel, added that an increase in oil production shouldn’t cut against the nation’s long-term climate goals, Bloomberg reported. President Joe Biden has pledged that the U.S. will have a completely carbon-free power grid by 2035 and that the country will produce net-zero emissions by 2050 while Democratic lawmakers, including Khanna, have pushed even more aggressive actions.

“In the short term, yes, we need domestic increase in oil production,” Khanna told Bloomberg on Wednesday. “And that obviously, is going to not be consistent in the very short term with climate aspirations.”

“But I think over the long term, we can still have our climate goals,” he continued.

Russia’s ongoing military assault of Ukraine has caused uncertainty in global energy markets, leading to higher oil and gasoline prices around the world. Russia, which exports most of the energy it produces, is a major supplier of crude oil to the U.S. and European countries.

In the weeks following Russia’s invasion, Khanna has asked Biden to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, argued the crisis proves the need for a swift national transition to renewable power and joined a Democratic letter to the White House urging rapid movement of a proposal to boost climate spending by $555 billion. But the California lawmaker has stopped short of directly calling for more oil production.

In October, Khanna initiated an investigation into Big Oil’s alleged decades-long “disinformation” campaign covering up the harmful impacts of carbon emissions. During the initial hearing, during which CEOs of the largest fossil fuel companies testified, Khanna suggested the industry should decrease production.

“Let me just ask a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question on this, Mr. Wirth. Are you embarrassed as an American company that your production is going up while the European counterparts are going down?” Khanna asked Chevron CEO Michael Wirth during the hearing.

“OK. You are not embarrassed,” he continued after Wirth responded that global energy demand was increasing. “I am just asking an open question. It is not a ‘gotcha’ question. Do you commit to do anything to matching your European counterparts to try to bring the actual demand of oil production down?”

A follow-up hearing was slated for March 8, but was abruptly canceled without warning amid the Ukraine crisis.

Khanna’s office didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation. ##
