The states — which also include Utah, Wyoming and Montana — said it wouldn’t be possible to construct the number of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations that the Biden administration has outlined as necessary in its climate agenda.
“By executive fiat, however, President Biden has brought this entire regime to a halt,” they continued. “Defendants’ administration-wide Pause on onshore and offshore oil-and-natural-gas development is unauthorized by any statute.”
Local utilities serving the Granite State are preparing to adjust what they charge for electricity. The cost of natural gas has skyrocketed, and that pain is about to find ratepayers’ pockets.
The tanks are to be used for “residential purposes,” the office told TheDCNF, and have a total capacity approved of “2,500 gallons which was broken into two 1,000 gallon tanks and one 500 gallon tank.” Select board member Arthur Smadbeck told the MV Times, “We’ve never had a private propane tank come to us.”
McMorris Rodgers said Biden sent the U.S. down the path toward an energy crisis on his first day in office. After canceling the presidential permit for the Keystone XL Pipeline, she said the administration then began preventing energy companies from having any capital expenditures into new production.
U.S. climate envoy John Kerry argued the U.S. doesn’t need more oil and gas drilling, saying combating climate change is more important at an event last Friday. The average price of gasoline nationwide hit a record $5.02 per gallon Tuesday.
Total domestic capacity has dropped by 900,000 barrels per day since 2019. Industry groups and experts blamed the declining capacity and lack of new refineries on environmental regulation and projected fuel demand decline in the future as governments push green energy alternatives.
Diesel, up to $5.78 per gallon, has hit a new record almost every day this month. Regular unleaded gas continued to extend its record, reaching $5.02 nationally.
Sixty percent of Vermont’s homes depend on oil heat. Over the past eight months heating oil prices have marched steadily upward. At the beginning of last year’s heating season, the average retail price was $3.002/gallon. At the end of the season it had risen to $5.052/gal.
Senator Kitchel voted “yes” to override Governor Scott’s important veto of “the Clean Heat Standard” bill. That law would have increased the energy costs of growing and transporting food. Some farms’ viability would have been threatened.
It does nothing to lower emissions (if that’s supposed to matter), hurts us, and enriches our enemies for less than nothing.
It occurred to me that if people living along Lake Champlain can cope with a six foot change in the high water mark every year, and the folks on the Maine coast can deal with a six foot change in the high water mark every 12 hours, why are we worrying about a two-foot rise sea level in 80 years?
