Energy independence

Posted

Truthful news sources revealed this week that Russia had a propaganda campaign to push green energy initiatives in Europe and America. Intelligent leaders understand that being energy independent is key to a country’s economic and military success--but not our present administration, nor NATO allies in Europe. Someone please tell our cackling V.P. that Ukraine is not part of NATO!

When Democrats immediately supported Alexandra O. Cortez’s (the 29-year-old Marxist bartender) “green new deal”, they didn’t worry about the costs; they saw it as control. Control over businesses, homes and vehicles that they could mandate to costly electricity. Biden promised in his campaign to eliminate “all fossil fuel production; while Trump made us energy independent. Didn’t Americans realize this would cause higher costs in fuel/electric prices and those hundreds of products made from petroleum that can’t be made by windmills and solar panels? They contribute to environmental destruction by contaminating groundwater and the spinning blades kill birds and migratory insects. 

No, Biden prefers to purchase oil from enemy countries like Russia, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela. Yet, now they won’t return his calls. In the $1.3 trillion bill just passed, taxpayers are paying for 500,000 charging stations, but everyone will need one, (cost?) because it takes up to eight hours to recharge those 1000 lb. batteries. Each battery contains 25 lb. of lithium, 60 lb. of nickel, 44 lb. of manganese, 30 lb. of cobalt and 400 lb. of aluminum and over 6,000 individual lithium-ion cells and these toxic components came from mining. Each battery will need 60,000 lbs. of ore for the needed cobalt, nickel and copper. Very expensive for something that needs replacement every three years and can cost up to $22,000 plus hefty mechanics fees. Electric vehicles (EV) cost $60,000, so with the highest inflation since WWII and food/gas prices soaring, how many people can afford this, with the added cost of taking care of  three million extra people in the  country that arrived at Biden’s open borders? Our V.P. said, “This is what we wanted!” Really?

Iran just fired 12 ballistic missiles at the US consulate in Iraq--covered up by Big Tech media lies. Biden allowed “Russia” to negotiate the Iran deal, allowing Iran to continue to enrich uranium, test ballistic missiles, America to pay hundreds of billions of dollars and put a bounty on Trump’s cabinet/associates. Our enemies are emboldened by a weak administration, who lack the cognitive abilities to know how to run this great country. If China, Russia, Iran and North Korea unite against America, where can America escape? Why did 98% of Americans  ignore the Democratic debates? Look at the leader we lost and the disaster we have now!
