The Biden government is considering declaring a “climate emergency” in order to activate federal powers allowing it to crush the oil and gas industry. Bloomberg sources say the powers “could be used to curtail crude exports, suspend offshore drilling and curb greenhouse gas emissions,” helping the regime meet climate targets at the expense of American jobs and energy independence.
Some of Biden’s advisors believe declaring a climate emergency would “galvanize climate-minded voters” in time for the presidential election in November.
“President Biden has treated the climate crisis as an emergency since day one and will continue to build a clean energy future that lowers utility bills, creates good-paying union jobs, makes our economy the envy of the world and prioritizes communities that for too long have been left behind,” commented White House spokesman Angelo Fernandez Hernandez, declining to specifically confirm or deny the reports of a possible emergency declaration.
U.S. Presidents have invoked emergency powers in the past, with Donald Trump using an emergency declaration to authorize the use of military resources to secure the southern border, for example. Invoking them to tackle climate change has never been done before, however.
Crude oil prices are already rising significantly due to factors such as Biden’s anti-production policies and the ongoing sanctions war with Russia.
These rises are driving inflation and higher gas prices, with the cost to consumers up by an average of 24 cents per gallon to $3.63 over just the last month.
