Biden’s Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland couldn’t answer a simple question today posed by Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy regarding where the production of oil and gas would be better for the environment:
Cassidy was asking the simplest of questions. Where would the production of oil and gas be better for the environment: off the coast of Louisiana or in Venezuela?
Haaland tried to dodge the question by starting to talk about caring about workers or something, but Cassidy quickly stopped her and forced her to answer his question.
Haaland responded “I’m not an economist or an engineer or a scientist.”
What???? That is absolutely the most absurd answer she could have given because you don’t have to be any of those things to know that America produces much cleaner oil and gas than a socialist hell hole country like Venezuela, which we have no control over whatsoever.
The reasons she didn’t want to answer it is because it would force her to acknowledge the truth, that the Biden administration doesn’t want to produce more oil and gas in America because they don’t want America producing oil and gas, period. Climate be damned.
They would rather reach out to other nations we don’t control, dirty socialist nations even, to produce our oil and gas for us while they run up our gas prices in order to transition us to wind mills and batteries, which are simply way more expensive.
So yes, I guess she could have answered the question but she would have had to spill the beans right before an election in order to answer it properly. And they surely don’t want to do that.
