Historic $5 gas exposes Biden's energy delusion

Gas prices skyrocketing to historic highs are part of the Biden administration's open hostility to American energy. Ordinary citizens are paying the price.

Early in his campaign, then-candidate Biden made the rapid end of fossil fuels a top priority. And he has consistently matched this with action, from canceling critical infrastructure projects like the Keystone XL pipeline and preventing new oil and gas drilling on federal lands to depriving the American energy sector of much-needed capital through the embrace of dangerously woke environmental policies.  

In fact, Biden’s open hostility toward U.S. energy production has become the hallmark of his presidency. Unsurprisingly, this hostility has cast what my friend and Fox Business host Larry Kudlow likes to call a "wet blanket" over-investment in the American energy industry. Instead of the lofty "green" promises he peddled to Americans, Biden’s war on American energy has financed Putin’s aggression in Ukraine, outsourced production to our adversaries like Iran and Venezuela, and saddled Americans with sky-high energy prices.
