Byron York’s Daily Memo: Joe Biden: Foreign policy for political gain

The president is beholden to a climate-obsessed environmental constituency that wields a lot of clout in the Democratic Party. Its goal is to eliminate the use of fossil fuels in the United States. Democratic environmental activists want people driving electric cars or taking electric mass transit and using renewable energy in their homes and workplaces. If that change does not happen naturally and quickly and it will not the activists want to force people to use new sources of energy by making fossil fuels so expensive that the public will see little choice but to buy a new, and heavily subsidized, electric vehicle.

In the meantime, the environmental lobby does not want the U.S. to be energy independent if that independence is won by producing more oil and gas. The problem, of course, is that the country runs on oil and gas. That has forced the Biden administration to beg foreign sources to produce more so the U.S. can buy more. It’s crazy, but that is the political reality in Washington today.
