Steve Chess: Energy Costs & Fuel Impacts

Florida

ORGANIZATIONS IN THIS STORY

Do you believe in “energy independence” for America? I DO! If you are paying attention, you will observe that the Trump Administration made our country’s energy independence. We were exporting energy products for the first time in a long time. We were experiencing the benefits of less expensive energy at all levels. All Americans were doing better. Now watch as the “tax and spend” democrats with their free lunch policies destroy our economy and weaken our ability to defend our nation.

What did the Biden administration do in the first 100 days of his inauguration? He killed the XL pipeline, which put thousands out of a job and, since it will not now be completed, made us more dependent on oil from countries not friendly towards America. Now with one of our primary pipelines closed down (colonial pipeline) due to a computer hack, you should expect the price of everything to go much, much higher. Already fuel costs have gone up to $1.00/gal, a sheet of plywood has doubled, food is up 30%, and this is just the first 100 days. Hold on to your wallet.

Bank of America says severe inflation is expected shortly. What does that mean to you and me? Already we see fuel prices going up. Remember the last time Democrats did this under Jimmy Carter. Gas prices went through the roof; we had gas shortages and long lines. Prices on everything went up. Prepare yourself for that again.

Think about who in our society gets hurt worse with exorbitant energy prices. Answer: the folks on the bottom, the minorities, always take it on the chin when the Democrats are in power.

Therefore, when you think of what policies are better for the minorities, realize that they will pay the price for wrong-headed democratic economic decisions.

Once we go to Electric vehicles, where do you think all that electric energy will come from? It will have to come from fossil fuels (Coal, most likely as environmentalists disdain Nuclear ), but it will be less efficient and more costly.

Unlike fossil fuels, the energy can not be stored without great expense and massive negative environmental impacts, which will take place to produce the batteries needed for storage. Better yet, since we charge a substantial fuel tax (61 cents/gal) on fuel, how will we then tax the electric power we will have to produce for electric vehicles to replace petrol-fueled cars and replace the road tax dollars they generate? Think that through, please.

I will tell you how. Your electric bills will go through the roof. Again, the lower economic strata will pay a more significant percentage of their income to pay for energy in all forms than the wealthy Democrats pushing this change. Note that recently it was revealed by a trustworthy news outlet that the Democratic Party is in bed with big banks, Big Tech companies, and wall street. No longer does the democratic party represent the workers or the poor. That is another reason that I left the party years ago.

All in all, I predict a rough ride, so when you see $5 a gallon of gas, don’t blame Trump and his administration’s policies. Point your finger at Biden and the Democrat’s socialist and communist policies. Everything is too Damn High. Hold the Biden administration and the democrat party accountable. Vote them out.

All in all, I predict if the Democrats remain in power, our country and all its citizens will pay the price of poor policies and inept leadership. Unless things change in the 2022 Midterm elections and the Republican party wins resoundingly, I foresee our country as we have known it to be forced into a socialist, communist dictatorship run by the Democrat party.
