Washington, D.C. -Moderators in the first Presidential Debate of 2024 failed to ask a single question about American energy independence, giving President Joe Biden a pass on his record. In response, Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future, issued the following statement:
"Number one: If the moderators had the courage to ask President Biden about his energy policy, they would see he has no defense. Number two: Americans are paying more because Joe Biden is energy incompetent. Number three: Americans should remember that energy is on the ballot in November, even if biased media moderators don't admit it."
The lowlights of President Biden's failed energy record include:
Joe Biden Drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR)
When Biden took office,the SPRlevel was at over 638 million barrels; today that level is at 370 million, the biggest drawdowns taking place in the lead up to the 2022 midterm elections.
The Biden Administration Leased the Fewest Acres for American Oil Production Since Truman
Since the end of World War II, no other Presidenthas leased fewer acresof American land for oil production than Joe Biden. In his first 19 months in office, President Jimmy Carter leased 11.77 million acres of land for oil, compared to Biden's 126,228.
Joe Biden Colludes with Saudi Arabia for More Oil
In July 2022, American families were paying around $5 a gallon for gas at the pump, an historic high. Joe Biden made a trip to Saudi Arabiawith the goalof getting the nation to pump out more oil to alleviate skyrocketing prices. The Saudis not only refused, but they also actually decided to cut production.
Electric Vehicle (EV) Mandates
In 2023, Biden's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)proposed strict newvehicle admission standards. The ruling forced electric vehicles (EVs) to make up at least 54% of new car sales by 2030 and 66% by 2032. These arbitrary demands and deadlines have only delivered tangible failure.
