Why are democrats opposed to American energy independence?

Is it because gas prices have lowered after Biden shut down American oil production, exploration, and pipelines? No, not at all. Lower prices deeply hurt poor people but democrats don't care. What lefties in America want, regardless of the cost, is for fossil fuels to be abolished entirely and they see rising gasoline prices as a great boost to their efforts to eliminate gasoline and diesel fuel entirely in America.

Democrats are such idiots and their insensitivity to the suffering of poor people is astounding.


Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) on Feb. 28 vowed to introduce legislation that will reopen energy production in the United States “full throttle” as the cost of oil continues to skyrocket amid record inflation and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Announcing the legislation, dubbed The American Energy Independence Act of 2022, Hawley said on Twitter that the bill will “reverse President Biden’s shutdown of the American energy sector and return American energy to full production.”

“Tomorrow, I will introduce legislation in the Senate to reopen American energy production full throttle and reverse Joe Biden’s disastrous capitulation to our enemies,” Hawley said.

The bill comes as oil prices surged above the $100 per barrel mark on Feb. 23 after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced in a televised address that a military operation was set to get underway in Ukraine. The last time the price of oil rose over $100 per barrel was in 2014.
