Biden drilling freeze makes us poorer and less safe

The White House moved last weekend to freeze, indefinitely, new federal oil and gas drilling. Why? Because a judge ruled the $51-per-ton figure it was using to calculate the social impact of carbon from fossil fuels artificially boosted cost estimates for new drilling.

Instead of following the judge s ruling and lowering its estimate, the president simply turned everything off at the tap.

It couldn t have come at a worse moment. Russia s invasion of Ukraine is threatening to impact global energy supplies and prices. Biden himself on Tuesday said his team is monitoring oil supplies during the crisis. And he claimed he was working to blunt any impact.

Yet turning off the federal oil spigot will do just the opposite, putting America at the mercy of other nations.

I hope we can get someone in the WH in 2024 who will reverse (what appears to me to be) our insane course on energy policy.
