Shackles coming off fossil fuel production under the Trump administration

City of Lake Worth Beach Ditching Coal Power for Solar Energy

"January 2025--Article from WPTV: The city of Lake Worth Beach is making strides toward a cleaner and more affordable energy future, a major solar energy project is now providing power to homes.

As the city moves away from using coal as a source of energy, Lake Worth Beach is also set to receive even more solar power at the completion of the next solar facility in the Florida Municipal Solar Project, expected to be completed by the end of 2025.

“This is going to begin to displace natural gas-based power, and largely coal power,” Liberty said. “Coal is a dirtier fuel. We’re going to reap the benefits of having a cleaner portion of our portfolio.”

Former President Barack Obama waged war on the coal industry so he could replace it with green energy. And that's what they did in Lake Worth Beach.

He said during his 2008 campaign that one of his goals was to “bankrupt” the coal industry and that “electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.”

The Obama Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued stringent regulations against coal-fired power plants to put them out of business.

President Donald Trump’s first term was a break on the war on coal. Coal is in, wind is out, and reindustrialization is the goal. Climate alarmists will scream disaster, but for millions of others, it’s all a long-awaited breath of fresh air.”

EPA Toughest Rules Ever

Biden EPA Announces Toughest-Ever Rules for Power Plant Emissions

After weeks of buildup, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) unveiled its strictest-ever rules for power produced using natural gas, coal, and oil that could spur the use of carbon capture technologies.

The standards released on May 11 would impact new and old power infrastructure, including new natural gas turbines and the country’s existing coal fleet. Though the United States still has hundreds of coal plants, the number of such installations has fallen sharply during the past decade.

Ahead of the EPA’s May 11 announcement, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) threw down the gauntlet on the looming proposals.

“I fear that this Administration’s commitment to their extreme ideology overshadows their responsibility to ensure long-lasting energy and economic security and I will oppose all EPA nominees until they halt their government overreach,” the lawmaker, who represents a conservative, fossil-fuel producing state, said in a May 10 statement.

Vote the Idiots out

It was only 20 months ago when this nation was completely energy-independent.

No shortages and the prices at the pump were a mere fraction of what they are now. This is not a drill, this is a core component of our economy and it is about to stop, completely, says the PricklyPear.

It’s bad enough that the cost of filling a tank with diesel fuel has jumped by 228% over the past year but now the EIA is reporting that we are down to a paltry 25-day supply in the country. Look at the fuel delivery process to your local gas station, which will end shortly after we run out of diesel fuel, and there will be nationwide gas shortages. There will be no way for the grocery stores to re-supply and those shelves will empty.

Call or write your U.S. Senators and Representatives today: let them know that they need to fix this now!

And, for the love of everything you hold dear, pull the Republican levers on November 8th! We must stop the idiots in this administration from doing any more harm to our nation.

Biden's Fossil Fuel Folly

Russia Makes Biden Look Like a Complete Fool

The Epoch Times reported that a brand-new report launched by the International Energy Agency (IEA) exposed that the Russian Federation had actually made about $20 billion every month in 2022. Russian oil manufacturers offered approximately 8 million barrels of oil daily.

While the U.S. sanctioned Russian oil in early March, the European Union (EU) and its member states were not able to reach a consentaneous contract to prohibit the import of Russian oil by member countries.

Nations like China and India have actually not avoided acquiring Russian fuel considering that the Ukraine intrusion started, and with some EU member states continuing to import Russian oil, Russia will likely make it through any future and present sanction bundles that do not impact its capability to export oil.

Biden has ruined our economy with the Green New (BAD) Deal. Despite the major push for renewable energy by environmentalists, fossil fuels still produce the majority of the energy that we consume today. Renewable energy’s share of the 2019 U.S. energy consumption market has only grown by 4 percentage points in 62 years, despite costing the taxpayer billions of dollars in subsidies.

Pete Buttigieg and the Green New Deal Mandate

‘Little Biden’ Buttigieg Exceeds Authority Trying To Impose Green Mandate On Americans

We all know that Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is Biden’s golden boy, and just like his boss, he’s exceeded his authority.

Hidden behind an initiative to lower pollution, Buttigieg is issuing federal regulations to force states to limit the use of gas-powered vehicles.

“With today’s announcement, we are taking an important step forward in tackling transportation’s share of the climate challenge, and we don’t have a moment to waste,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. “Our approach gives states the flexibility they need to set their own emission reduction targets, while providing them with resources from President Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to meet those targets and protect their communities.”

Lease Sale 257 is reinstated and high bidders must get their lease

Biden Revives Biggest Offshore Oil, Gas Lease Sale in US History

Has anyone heard about this on the mainstream news? NO? It's because no one knew what the hell is in the bill.

When President Joe Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act into law on Aug. 16, his signature opened the door to reinstating the largest oil and gas lease sale in U.S. history, which had been blocked by a court because of climate impact concerns.

The legislation contains a provision that reinstates the previously halted Lease Sale 257, the biggest offshore oil and gas lease in U.S. history, spanning nearly 81 million acres in the Gulf of Mexico.

Lease Sale 257, which sold at auction for $192 million in March 2019, was challenged by environmental groups, which argued that the sale violated federal law by relying on an inadequate environmental impact review that failed to accurately consider greenhouse gas emissions.

The law requires the government to reinstate $192 million in leases in the Gulf of Mexico that were blocked by another court ruling last year. And it requires two more sales in the Gulf and one in Alaska before October 2023. Those sales had been canceled under Biden. The provision reviving them was inserted into the law at the insistence of West Virginia Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, an advocate for fossil fuels.

Biden hell bent on destroying our fossil fuel industry

Biden EPA Announces ‘Flyovers’ of Key US Oil- and Gas-Producing Region

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) said it will conduct “flyovers” of the Permian Basin region in Texas and New Mexico to “survey oil and gas operations to identify large emitters of methane” amid the Biden administration’s climate policy initiative.

“The flyovers are vital to identifying which facilities are responsible for the bulk of these emissions and therefore where reductions are most urgently needed,” said Earthea Nance, an EPA official, in an Aug. 1 news release. The flyovers, which will use infrared cameras, will be conducted until Aug. 15, the agency said.

With the announcement, it means the administration will continue to target the oil and gas industry. The Permian Basin accounts for 43 percent of the nation’s oil supply.

Diesel fuel thieves

Hundreds of gallons for $1.10 with a pried open gas pump, remote control

LAKE WORTH BEACH, Fla. (CBS12) — High gas prices led to “numerous reports of diesel fuel thefts” around South Florida and a detective with the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office took down two suspects who allegedly used high-tech equipment to steal several hundred gallons of diesel.

Now folks, this did not occur in Lake Worth Beach but just east of the turnpike on Lake Worth Road. And as a reminder, the name of our city was changed by the voters with help from the then commission several years back because our city was always being highlighted for every crime around us. The name change was supposed to help our image. It hasn't.

The two thieves even concealed their license plate as they siphoned off diesel fuel.

I hate a thief more than anything.

Biden administration’s anti-fossil fuel policies are the problem

Oil Billionaire Blasts Biden’s Gas Price Blame Game, Says Only One Thing Will Fix Inflation

New York billionaire and refiner John Catsimatidis, who owns hundreds of gas stations, blasted President Joe Biden’s pinning the blame on high prices at the pump on gas station owners, arguing there’s only one solution for inflation—boosting production of crude.

While the margin gas station owners make fluctuates several cents one way or the other, Catsimatidis said it’s “ridiculous to put it on us. We’re not the ones that created the problem.”

The price of gasoline has nearly doubled since Biden took office, with the president variously blaming oil industry greed, a lack of refining capacity, global supply shortfalls set against a sharp post-pandemic rebound in demand, and the war in Ukraine.

Supreme Court rules against EPA

The Supreme Court just gutted a major policy tool the US might have used to tackle climate change

Its decision on West Virginia v. Environmental Protection Agency essentially says that the EPA shouldn’t be allowed to determine whether the US gets its electricity from clean or dirty sources of energy.

That derails previous efforts by the agency to transition the US away from fossil fuels to clean energy sources like wind and solar by regulating the power sector. With the new decision, the agency might be able to push a power plant to install technology to reduce its emissions on-site, but it can’t influence states’ decisions on where they get their energy from in the first place.

Chief Justice Roberts delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Justices Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett joined. Justice Gorsuch filed a concurring opinion, in which Justice Alito joined. Justice Kagan filed a dissenting opinion, in which Justices Breyer and Sotomayor joined.

Reckless Policies of Biden and his Administration

Biden Economic Adviser: The Only Way to Become Energy Independent Is to Abandon Fossil Fuels

Brilliant! All tree huggers are just brilliant!

Where does Biden get these people?

"An intelligent U.S. president assessing the current energy situation would conclude that now might be a good time to loosen regulations on oil and gas drilling, rethink the Keystone XL Pipeline project and maybe open up drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. After all, the world has suddenly become a more dangerous place, and energy independence is essential to national security.

Nope.

Brian Deese is the director of the president’s National Economic Council. As he commented on the path to energy independence outside the White House on Tuesday afternoon, Deese’s words recalled the old slogan, “If you can’t dazzle them with brilliance, then baffle them with mind-numbing, incomprehensible, hogwash.”

At least 4 Democrats have seen the Light

Multiple Democrats Beg Biden to Rescind Recent Executive Order

As BizPac Review reported Thursday, four Lone Star State Democrats wrote to President Joe Biden on Wednesday to ask that he rescind Executive Order 3395, which he signed on his second day in office and puts a pause on new leases for drilling for oil and gas on federal lands.

It also asks Biden to drop plans like those reported by Fox News on Tuesday to ban new leases for a year as part of his administration’s war on fossil fuels.

John Kerry and Fossil Fuel Industry

Kerry Joins Dictator Biden’s Admin & Immediately Slaps Americans Directly In The Face BIGLY

As we have been reporting, Joe Biden is signing job killing Executive Orders like a freaking mad man and there is no end in sight.

His administration basically consists of most of Obama’s people including John ‘Lurch’ Kerry- a multimillionaire and political HACK

Read more about it... and read Kerry's BS. I name Kerry as we all know that others are leading Joe around by strings and making the decisions.

Biden signed three orders at the White House Wednesday that target federal subsidies for oil and other fossil fuels and halt new oil and gas leases on federal lands and waters. They also intend to conserve 30 percent of the country's lands and ocean waters in the next 10 years and move to an all-electric federal vehicle fleet.

Nancy Pelosi and a Ukraine/Russia connection?

Pelosi’s Son Involved In Ukraine Scandal-

State Records Link Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Son, Paul Pelosi Jr., to Oil Company With Founding Member in Moscow Russia

On March 5, 2013, NRGLab New Technology posted two videos on Youtube. One video opened with a clip of Nancy Pelosi discussing energy-efficient technology, followed by a direct-to-camera statement from her son Paul Pelosi Jr., filmed in Washington, D.C. in 2010.

“My name’s Paul Pelosi. Of course I’m on the board of Viscoil. And Viscoil is here today to talk about accelerating the future. It’s about using cars in a more efficient manner. It’s about utilizing natural resources, whether it be electricity, or gas, or fossil fuels in a more efficient way. And Viscoil is a part of that solution,” Paul Pelosi Jr. said in the video.

Paul Pelosi Jr., son of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.), was a board member for a company called Viscoil, a corporation registered in California, with ties to Russia. Paul Jr. was also the President of an investment company which the SEC charged with fraud claiming the company was “secretly controlled” by others who had violated federal securities laws.[Americasfreedomfighters]

Climate Change will no longer be a national security threat

The Trump administration will reverse course from previous Obama administration policy, eliminating climate change from a list of national security threats. The National Security Strategy to be released today will emphasize the importance of balancing energy security with economic development and environmental protection, according to a source who has seen the document and shared excerpts of a late draft.

“Climate policies will continue to shape the global energy system,” a draft of the National Security Strategy slated to be released on Monday said. “U.S. leadership is indispensable to countering an anti-growth, energy agenda that is detrimental to U.S. economic and energy security interests. Given future global energy demand, much of the developing world will require fossil fuels, as well as other forms of energy, to power their economies and lift their people out of poverty.” [Blabber-Buzz]
