During a Senate Energy Committee hearing, Alaska Senator Dan Sullivan gives a list of actions taken by the Biden administration in the past three weeks to block U.S. oil production.
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm stated during the hearing that the Biden administration was doing everything possible to increase oil production and supply in the United States. Senator Sullivan quotes the actions of the Biden administration in the last three weeks which are exactly the opposite of the energy secretary claims. WATCH (3 minutes):
This is, yet again, another example of the false pretense of the Biden administration {GO DEEP}. The Interior Department is filled with radical climate change ideologues, and they are working earnestly to undermine U.S. energy policy.
The hypocrisies pointed out by Senator Sullivan are not hypocrisies, they are fraud. The activist ideologues embedded within the bureaucracy of government are like terror cells activating to destroy the foundation of the country. President Obama implanted them at all levels of the executive branch offices. They are self-aware and operating independently. The example of the Interior Department, in charge of oil and gas development, is the easiest to see.
Awesome news!

The archbishop clearly has been troubled for years as he tried to deal with Pelosi. The pope told US bishops to steer clear of doing anything but this one had enough. Good for him and his clear conscience.
I do not feel that I can criticize someone else’s religious position, but I believe that the Church leadership has the responsibility and authority to rule on anything that goes against Church teachings. The congregation needs to know the limits to a member’s right to criticize an official teaching.
The church has no authority over those who are not its congregants.
The church is to teach, preach and discipline its members. As the congregation is sanctified through this process, it becomes a holy means of exercising political control over the representatives in the legislature.
This is how bad conduct is curbed and good legislators are rewarded.
Agreed…. Any valid religion has the moral obligation to speak on matters of religious beliefs and canonic law. It must be clear that the action is based upon religious beliefs and not politics. IMESHO, is that why there appears to be an attempt to destroy Christianity in America??
Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone oversees the bishopric where Nancy Pelosi resides. This gives him authority to discipline her accordingly to canonic law.
Now you see why Nanzi bought a home in Florida. 😆
I thought the artice was about oil and gas?….humm
Way to distract and redirect a thread! Atta boy!
Blah blah blah says Granholm. stutter trip…we would love to increase our exports of LNG, while we are being told by everyone and anyone in the know to expect coming energy shortages and blackouts. We have
notpurposely shut down our current supply. We are also drawing down our strategic reserve while we beat the drums of war. Uh uh buh, we’re doing that to assist Americans…by selling that oil to Europe.We call that “National Security”.
We are in the middle of a financial war. We have a slowing economy and very high inflation. The DNC answer is to increase energy costs. If one didn’t know better one might think they want to lose the financial war, deepen the recession and increase inflation.
DNC Mission: Destroy the middle class, impoverish everyone and make them dependent on the government.
Government as in the socialist regime now running Washington, DC . . . Devil’s City
The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation.

Hang them High.
It is BBB, the new savior for the USA.
When the planes hit the Twin Towers, it was the start of the housing boom to save the stock market and replace stolen manufacturing jobs with the housing boom. Now that the housing boom and stock market have come to an end, we have to replace the lost manufacturing jobs and lost housing market jobs.
Enter the new economy!
The new economy is building low income housing along mass transit lines. In order to free up RE to build these units, main street must necessarily be crushed!
With 2 million new immigrants crossing the border each year, this new economic boom will go on for decades. Bankers must replace lost home finance with commercial low income housing finance. Since the Federal government will always be able to print money for rent, food , phones and high speed internet, the economy will hum right along. If you are against this plan, you are just selfish in not wanting to share the wealth!
The 15 minute city and 5 minute neighborhoods. How many of them can you squeeze into every major city? I don’t know the answer but, speaking in technical terms, that’s a sh!tload of commercial housing.
The importance of the 15 minute city is not just commercial housing and available mass transit but also the ability to confine individuals within their own fishbowl of life.
You will own nothing and be happy!
I am in an extra cynical mood today.
All good by me. Remember, cynicism is nothing but an unpleasant way of expressing the truth.
Personally, I’ve always been more partial to the person who talks bad and does good versus the person who talks good and does bad.
Carry on.
Well, we lived through 2 decades of artificial interest rates and low interest rates support high asset prices. So, stocks, housing and other assets benefit. When interest rates reverse, housing, stocks and other assets will in turn decrease in value.
In addition to inflation that we have to deal with, we also have the “poor effect” from loss of asset wealth. Bright spots will be hard to come by.
bertdilbert: I am happy to share your cynicism.
Trust no one.
You are right. They don’t want anyone (but them) to own anything but maybe the cloths on their back —and be happy.
Every American city to mimic Shanghai and Tokyo.
If they put a very high wall or fence around said cities and they are inhabited with those on the dole, it’s only a matter of time that said housing is destroyed and the inhabitants left, are devastated by their own hand. It’s no life in a ghetto.
Your post and 5 replies to it have just described commy chyna (minus the bat sh*t soup of course).
“When the planes hit the Twin Towers”
don’t forget that donald trump said, on that day, that bombs not just planes, caused that collapse.
that’s not a trivial point. cui bono?
Bingo!

It is good to know the Biden Administration is doing such a fabulous job.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.
Leases, Schmeases. They have declared War on America. They mean to destroy it. Period.
they sure mean to give it a good try.
Thank you, Gip, I try to post this once a month and not overdo it – it cannot be emphasized enough. Our Right, and our Duty.
There is an equally important war on morals and ethics. The Left has big money to “cancel” those others; anybody to the right of them. C’mon. As we saw in an earlier thread, they have the DARK MONEY, the NWO champions who have totally backed the Left….
The current so-called “Republican” Party does not espouse our America First views. As they’re all very wealthy, they don’t care because they do not suffer the consequences that the Fraudulent Regime’s decisions have on us.
I don’t know what it’s going to take to change this current system. I’m just an old 70 year old woman.
The goal is to inflict so much pain upon the American people that they will beg for/accept any government solution.
I always Trump should have closed several agency’s…Department of ED. Department of Energy and several others. All this might have been different had he done that.
Exactly what the commies want.
We must not ever be energy independent.
It isnt good for the globalist plans for us.
Well, we aren’t. And worse. The entire economy has cratered, including the ability for middle and lower class citizens to make ends meet. Besides being energy inefficient in terms of gas, oil, electricity, we are also seeing not only food price hikes but food shortages. And the entire Government has not risen up in protest. So they are all okay with this. We, the tax payer citizens are traipsing down the street of the 3rd world countries, while the illegal aliens are traipsing into the Country we once called ours, and being rewarded with housing, food, electicity, phones, rtc.
We have enemies from within preparing for an invasion by China.
Cnina doesnt really have to militarily invade. It just has to keep on buying up American assets and politicians.
And it also has its minions in the USA to call upon if need be and have General Milley and his band in the Pentagon to arrange and coordinate things.
The wokesters in charge, would be arrested and shot if they allowed an invasion by an armed military from anywhere. Illegals be damned. There are still good people who pull the triggers, and face the violence. They would not suffer those fools if they so chose to allow such an invasion or attack. Id bet the farm on that, knowing some, the way I know them.
They dont have to invade because their bought and paid for politicians and their minions, are trashing the place, without war. This is the mission. Destroy us from within. Its working quite nicely so far. No real pushback either……
Its Bizarro World these days huh?…lol
Bill Gates is also in that group. Amusing spelling of china, even if it was a typo, I will use that in the future. 🙂
And these same stupid people really think that China will still ‘allow’ them to help rule their world when they take over. Don’t make me laugh.
No significant heavy lift capability’s. If you are referring to invading North America.
They dont have it now. They wont have it tomorrow. Or next year either. That is a known factor. They cannot project power too far from home. Missiles dont count.
You must not be informed on how invasions work. There is no place on earth, that any Country can amass enough troops and material, and equipment, to undertake a monumental ( if not impossible ) task, such as that, without being seen. Or heard. And intercepted. Air and Sea……this you need to understand.
Far from home, in a country that is an armed camp, with totally hostile citizenry, armed as good as the military in many cases, with no supply lines and an ocean in between, is not conducive to invasion. A fools errand. I would bet that there is no leader, of any military, that would agree to try that. You do not understand the power of over 400 million guns. ( On paper ) You can lob all the missiles you want ( They run out, they are not cheap) You can send all the drones you want, with bombs too, ( They can be shot down, they also run out, cost too much) you still have to put boots on the ground. and that is where its game over.
I assure you, that even if China attempts to land on little Taiwan, ( If, not when ) they would take heavy losses. And they will.
You can take that to a factor of 10, even trying to reach North American shores. That is a fact.
I think they will use the Biden Model and simply purchase governments and Colonial Governors like Pedo Joe.
There will be no war with China–unless China orders Biden to start one and then lose it.
BTW, here’s an interesting article–it certainly casts a different light on the navy of Chinese freighters off of Long Beach:
“Over the many years of reporting maritime news, the idea that China could militarize its commercial maritime fleet has been dismissed by most of the shipping community, but a new report published by the US Naval War College shows that this is not only a possibility but has already been accomplished. This report comes weeks after a CSIS report detailed how China militarized its commercial shipyards.
The report – Civilian Shipping and Maritime Militia: The Logistics Backbone of a Taiwan Invasion – by Lonnie Henley, a former Rhodes Scholar and senior Army intelligence officer, looks at the integration of commercial shipping and China’s seafarers with the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), along with the use of Chinese seafarers – aboard both China flagged ships and Non-Chinese flagged ships – during a planned invasion of Taiwan.”…….
China Has Militarized Seafarers Says US Navy Report (gcaptain.com)
Ive seen those reports.
Those ships are fine for a little trip across the South China Sea. However, sailing them across the ocean with bad intentions is a dangerous trip. Taiwan is next door. America is not.
Regardless of all that Gip, no military on the planet would be foolhardy enough to try a land invasion here, and I believe you sir, know that. 🙂
Even if they used their commercial fleet, they would still be seen loading them with troops and war materials. There can be no surprise attack.
The ships sitting off the coast arent full of troops, as you know… 🙂 You dont sneak around hundreds of thousands of troops.
Don’t kid yourself……they are already doing it: from within. They have commies in congress and senate, they have bought lots of Americas lands, allowed by those greedy for the chima money, and they control most of the shipping ports…..what else is there to taking over the U.S. People now days don’t care. They hate America….so why would they not let them take over? Most of the farm land is now in chima hands along with billy gates, who is no better then they are. I remember reading that America would be taken over from within when I was in grade school, many many many years ago.
I am well aware of these issues.
They poison young minds.
They steal your vote.
They steal your money.
They open the borders.
They create shortages.
They ignore the laws.
However, as in all things woke and lying media, there are more of us, than there are of them, those being, the people who enable China….
They can own all they want, when the People have had enough, they can try and enforce that ownership…… 🙂
“[I]f China attempts to land on little Taiwan, ( If, not when ) they would take heavy losses.”
As the Chinese landing craft are sunk, one after another, they will form an artificial land bridge, allowing the PLA to walk across the Taiwan Strait.;<)
Hehe….Yeah, that’s about it. 🙂
Oh, those cuckservatives are so good in theatric farce.
Actually they have become very bad actors.
Gotten to the point where they believe they dont even have to put on their masks anymore.
Cuckservatives? Good one. Democrats In Drag, the reigning champ in my lexicon for Republicans, has a challenger
John Kerry is doing an amazing job all right; amazing lining of his own and his families pockets at the expense of the American people. Why do they bring these lying, forked tongue corrupt criminals up and put them on tv? Why aren’t they being arrested for lying to Congress?
What a diseased and sick government there is in DC. We need to criminally prosecute the lot of them.
Who in the hell elected him to anything? He can’t do a thing by himself. He is a waste. Throw him out.
Everyone must realize Obama is the coup. Has been. Installed his sleeper cell communists everywhere
Obstructed Trump for 4 years and now are puppeting FJB and just causing massive damage
They all must hang and be executed
Well, it sucks to have to say it, but you are absolutely right.
Divine intervention is all we can hope for, really.
Also need to get rid of all the alphabet soup institutions. They are killing America. ALL OF THEM NEED TO GO.
Thank you Senator Sullivan.
If anyone knows, he does. Oil fuels Alaska’s economy.
We really need to get to the bottom of election fraud and get these criminals out of our government.
Drill baby, drill.
And he is one I don’t trust him either. He votes with the other side too often right along with the Cow. (and yes, he is the new one for Alaska) Hope he isn’t here very long. Just another Republican’t.
I agree.
But on this issue, he has it nailed.
Giving credit where credit is due.
Government bureaucrats always document everything they do. Use that document trail to determine if they are undermining this country. Or if they are silent about those that are.
Immediately strip them of any government means of communication. No telephone access. No email access. “Read Only” access to internal government intranet.
Once that is done, then begin the process to transfer them to remote postings where they cannot take their families with them.
For those that still haven’t gotten the message and haven’t quit, give them a job counting snowflakes or grains of sand.
In the meantime, determine if their old job even needs to be filled. If so, find someone that is qualified. If the job doesn’t need to be filled, eliminate it.
Now give me a day or so and I’ll come up with ideas on what to do starting the second week of the new administration, since we have the first week taken care of.
The Biden Administration. Its like The Titanic hitting The Hindenburg.
The Hindenburg was a big flash, burning brilliantly, and killed hydrogen for the next four generations. The iceberg, however is nine tenths underwater, it is much more relentless, inertia etc. Just Saying.
I can’t find the article I read recently that addressed this lol, but this one from March at least touches on it.
I think the problem is that although the Biden Adm reversed course and issued new leases….
These leases takes investment and years of development before they are are productive.
They get bogged down and slow walked by government regulations and lawsuits by leftwing alliances with this administration.
On top of that, these investors are given mixed messages. Sure, buy the lease….but we are going to shut you down in a couple years anyway with the green new deal.

Responding to the White House Blame Game on Leases
https://www.westernenergyalliance.org/blog/responding-to-the-white-house-blame-game-on-leases
Who is working the inside?
These are big depts/agencies. There is knowledge of who is facilitating the green agenda.
Can’t clean house without validated names/roles.
90% of the fed can be eliminated Full stop
Cut out the cancer
Green agents are all thru the local, state and federal population control offices. Hence covid, because extreme green wants depopulation for agenda 2030…. and a lot of them coming thru from colleges ARE extreme green. Davos man CEO Klause Schwab is into trans-humanism because androids don’t eat or consume resources (no logic zone)… thats really ultra green…. and thats the big vision behind Soros Rothschild et al big Finance promoting ESG corporate culture all through Wall St. It is not hidden or covert. Look up the lifestyle and “hobbies” of Miriam Rothschild and her father and grandfather as an example. She is linked to Prince Charles’ cohort and misc eg; Paul Lister “The European Nature Trust”…. both focus on Carpathian wilderness…
Please explain to those of us who live in the farther North country where there is more darkness, more snow, more ice and inclement weather, just how all this great green new deal is gonna work for all electric when we can’t get any cause there is no more power…Please, and not just for places like Alaska…..there are other Northern areas who sometimes have worse weather than there is here. We have already heard it is getting harder to buy power from those who have some extra to sell.
Sullivan is a RINO.
He was an Attorney General and knows the law, yet he sat silently while the FBI let Hillary off the hook-on mishandling classified information.
He trashed talked President Trump every time a reporter asked him for a comment about every single lie created throughout Trumps presidency. He never apologized, not once.
He refused to acknowledge anything about the stolen election.
He’s voted for every spending bill put forward by Biden. He even ran an ad bragging about the great bipartisan cooperation bla, bla, bla.
Now that Obama’s peeps are killing Alaska, and the county, Sullivan has to actually clear his throat and cry like he didn’t know that snake would bite.
He and Murkowski have done nothing for Alaska. He should resign and go sell pot with his buddy John Boehner.
This man is a gem. Telling the jagoffs to their faces what liars they are, what enemies of American energy independence they are. How many all-electric unicorns have Brandon and Company saved so far?
He’s a Fake POS. Like the rest.
the idiot Sec Interior was hired for her skin color and nothing else. Check off the box-she’s an Indian. No other qualifications which were very evident when Manchin tore her apart in the hearing.
I currently worked in a transportation-related field.
Truckers are getting KILLED by high diesel prices, and I TIE THOSE PRICES TO BIDEN EVERY DAM DAY!
BTW, on the west coast, many truckers are Latino.
I openly say, “Biden es PUTO!” – a vulgar Spanish word – and I get nods, laughs, and when I face even slight resistance… I just mention “gasolina” prices.
Latinos could give President Trump a blowout victory.
Again.
Dominion and the ballot stuffers dont seem to think so…..
Until that is fixed, there are no free and fair elections.
‘My Frustration Is At An All-Time High’: Manchin Hammers Biden Admin For Not Doing Enough To Fix Energy Crisis
https://www.dailywire.com/news/my-frustration-is-at-an-all-time-high-manchin-hammers-biden-admin-for-not-doing-enough-to-fix-energy-crisis
I was just talking about Manchin, with the wife.
He is the fly in the ointment for those Marxists….
I did say, however, he is handsomely paid, many times over, for voting with his party lines. The few times he has, doesnt win him any favor with me. They are all snakes, the Uniparty……
Do not worry my fellow Democrats. Our great President, Joe Biden, has this covered.
To direct Americans attention away from all these troubles, he will get into a nuclear war with Russia.
…and blame it on someone else… ?
Senator Dan Sullivan, you are a disgrace! How many times do you have to say…”Not you” I know it’s not you. You totally left one of the most radical heads of this administration off the hook. This is why we lose, because we don;t have the guts to win!
These people are such incredible liars….
One might think Biden is trying to have a civil war. God forbid. We barely had enough heating gas to keep warm last winter in the far north. Hope there are enough trees to cut down.
If one is allowed to cut down trees. May have crown forests🤗🤔🤔
couple of notes:
pay attention to the official commenting about “dual use, parallel” systems of infrastructure. specifically the capacity infrastructure to operate both natural gas and HYDROGEN.
now you might be wondering…hydrogen?
no, not for transportation…it’s really not effective in small fuel cells. However, AT SCALE (energy to power generation facilities), for the electric grid, hydrogen is by far more efficient.
But how does one produce the hydrogen and how much energy is USED to produce it versus the real world energy output.
That’s a pretty difficult answer to address….because scale has lots of ranges. At large scale, like entergy scale (as a specific company example and for companies that are larger yet), it would be more efficient than natural gas….it would costs less and provide more power than the power required to produce the hydrogen. Again, this is where SCALE is very important and less about the specific technology that is used to actually produce the hydrogen in a form that is high quality and also low to net zero emissions to meet environmental mandates. But the most important feature is that it packs more energy density than almost any other fuel, with only nuclear beating it out, but both carrying quite a bit of safety issues to be concerned and diligent about.
lets discuss hydrogen and a small primer:
Grey hydrogen is made from natural gas reforming like blue hydrogen, but without any efforts to capture carbon dioxide byproducts.
Blue hydrogen is hydrogen produced from natural gas with a process of steam methane reforming, where natural gas is mixed with very hot steam and a catalyst. A chemical reaction occurs creating hydrogen and carbon monoxide. Water is added to that mixture, turning the carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide and more hydrogen. If the carbon dioxide emissions are then captured and stored underground, the process is considered carbon-neutral, and the resulting hydrogen is called “blue hydrogen.”
Yellow hydrogen is hydrogen made with electrolysis from the energy grid. The carbon emissions vary greatly depending on the sources powering the grid. (the energy to power generation facility can be fossil fuel, nat gas, coal, solar, and or wind and wave and or geothermal. Simple electrolysis with a carbon capture technology in order to satisfy a blue hydrogen product
Turquoise hydrogen is hydrogen produced from methane pyrolysis, or splitting methane into hydrogen and solid carbon with heat in reactors or blast furnaces. Turquoise hydrogen is still in its nascent stages of being commercialized, and its climate-conscious value depends on powering the pyrolysis with clean energy and storing the physical carbon. This type of hydrogen product is the least efficient given the additional requirements of all other processes but also the caloric energy requirements for a blast furnace ..even at scale it isn’t the most efficient or most environmentally friendly or safe method to produce hydrogen.
no matter how the hydrogen is produced, when you burn hydrogen itself, you get out of the pipe: water and depending on the burn a quite small amount of NOx. Which can be reclaimed in the process, but given it is just a very tiny portion it does not represent a serious environmental hazard and would not be present in the atmosphere at any level considered significant to change climate or any other hazard for many millenia. (it’s that small of an amount).
The idea here is to refine natural gas into a cleaner burning, more energy dense fuel, without the environmental hazards. The amount of energy required to produce it however, would not actually be competitive with current fossil fuels unless a barrel of sweet crude hits the 400 USD$ level. And it would have to remain at that level for hydrogen to be economically feasible.
We should not be conned into believing that hydrogen provides any solutions. it is a very good fuel. However, it requires far more energy than current fossil fuels to provide the same amount of usable energy.
Thanks, Regi, for this Primer on Hydrogen for energy – I heard the subject tossed slyly into the conversation, opening the opportunity for them to say “… we are making good progress towards 100% reliance on Hydrogen, but we need more time and money to realize the promise”, with their hand out, while new left-founded Hydrogen consultancies begin to appear all around the Beltway.
I was going to go educate myself on current state-of-the-art, and here you are with this digest. Cheers, brother!
you are welcome.
brother is a chemical engineer by education.
the world is changing. But truths have to be recorded and understood so we aren’t being conned again by the promise of green deals, that will at this time be a net negative in terms of global energy production.
That could change, but again it requires fossil fuels to hit staggeringly dangerous market tilting super highs and then stay there…the world quite frankly cannot tolerate the kind of immediate transition these morons have made into a political weapon. It will take decades, perhaps well over 100 hundred years…gradually making steady improvements and creating new technologies and infrastructure design changes. The manner in which they are spending right now is clear they have no clue how to augment the current energy supply with alternatives. They are literally wasting the money and also creating a dangerous recessionary period that could very well end up creating so many problems with supply of fossil fuels that manufacturing the alternatives isn’t even possible.
This administration is filled with clowns and mba engineer wannabe’s…unicorn, fairies, and rainbows.
it’s time the republican party and big oil start speaking up loudly about this and shut it down…meaning no more big oil donations to the democrat party..
until that happens, this administration is going to break the world…it’s doing a sporting effort so far.
Models.The root of evil.

Jennifer Granholm is a LYING SNAKE!
Granholm…you are such a fuggin idiot….you’re pretty and you have enormous ears…bigger than most 88 yr old dude ears…and you LIE! You don’t really believe that anyone not a retard believes what you say do you? Stop lying, Granholm…you are part of the problem…
Too bad Lisa Murkowski is the other Senator from Alaska.
They are lying.
We know they are lying.
They know, that we know they are lying.
We know, that they know, that we know that they are lying.
Round and round, we go.
The big picture shows over time. It proves itself. It is small talk that keep the picture roling. For h ow long? How much money do we have to go throught untill we reach the end
If the companies are on the land and have been up and running. Screw the government and just produce. They gonna send the military to stop it . Don’t think so. If the state of Alaska owns the land it is their decision and it is their citizens losing money they get directly . I am sure they would fight for it.
… treason …
That ANWAR drilling was passed as a law, the so-called Exec branch cannot strike it down. It’s against the law!
And, why do we supply LNG to our allies. Isn’t LNG the first product of drilling? Why can’t the US consumers make use of it?
Why has John sKerry not been charged with the Logan Act, or is he a paid member of the Xiden cabal? He’s always been an instigating guy, like the kid on the playground who tells another kid to commit a bad act.
There’s a lot of stop and start in her responses. Secretary of energy has little knowledge of things that she should have knowledge.
