biden banned new oil and gas permits on his first day in office, a trump judge hit it with an injunction biden won the appeal and the judge issued a second injunction. two years ago we passed half a trillion in green energy. this is absolutely not what we’re doing in the decades prior

the pro o&g messaging is meant to be gobbled up by republicans and right wingers which i think goes a long way explaining why it’s such a big thing among a subset of (nominal) leftists

It is the most consequential thing passed in this country since the new deal and people act like it never happened.

the asychronous battle against fascism is one of Good Normal People's good works being forgotten vs Bad Wierd People having imaginary good works being attributed to them, so elections become a "how many like Candidate X vs how many like Candidate Y" nailbiters

I just want to shout something really quick. US ENERGY INDEPENDENCE HAS BEEN A US DOMESTIC POLICY GOAL FOR OUR ENTIRE FUCKING LIVES AND IT WAS ACHIEVED BECAUSE OF BIDEN'S POLICIES! Further, we are taking the W and using that independence to transition us to a cleaner energy future.

the mental gymnastics to conclude Dems "might be worse" is incredible

Also I don't mind them boasting about the oil and gas domestic production because -The average American/voter likes it (muh cheap gas!) -It has to come from somewhere, better here than from OPEC

I long for a day that the Democratic Party actually finds a way to properly convey the success of its policies to the public. We're on the doorstep of energy independence, increasingly green! Anyway, I know they're not gonna figure it out today, and tomorrow ain't lookin hot either. But someday!

Extremely harrowing to see people continually doing thought exercises as to what Donald Trump might REALLY believe, like his policy preferences are a total black box and not very well described by his 4 years as President.
