CNN has been downright harsh here lately (compared to coverage in the past) of him.
Granted I will believe that when I read of it happening.

Re: Biden’s Scorecard
The "testing the water" articles are already coming out about that topic.

It would be even more gasoline on the fire if the Dem establishment started asking those questions now before mid-terms.

Re: Biden’s Scorecard
Interesting that it is taking a recession (maybe/maybe not) for Mr. Wirth to speak up when it has been known since at least Obama if not before. At this point I am curious which breaks first, the strangling of fossil fuels or peoples ability to absorb high fuel prices. If high prices is what it takes for people (voters) to pay attention to the fact that what happens in DC has long term effects, then I hope prices keep going up and people wake up to the sham that is green energy currently. That sentiment aside, higher prices will help foster more money moving in the other direction (renewable energy storage) but I would argue that this "help" isn't needed and the true cost of that switch will be the people that can least afford it.
https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2022/06/20 ... ca-n477429The title of this article may sound like some sort of alarmist doom porn from people who are warning about the downstream impacts of the green new deal, but it’s actually quite serious. The statement that there will probably never be another new oil refinery built in the United States came from Mike Wirth, the CEO of Chevron and a person who should know a thing or two about how the oil and gas industry works. We previously examined the reality that we are heading for devastating shortages of gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel because of the number of oil refineries that have gone offline or been converted to process biofuels. Ed Morrissey reported on Joe Biden’s demands that the “greedy refiners” move to “turn the refineries back on” and produce more fuel. Industry leaders responded with a letter explaining how ludicrous that demand was. Now, as the Institute for Energy Research explains, the reality is setting in that there probably won’t be any new refineries being constructed and it’s entirely the fault of the Democrats’ policies.
Chevron CEO Mike Wirth does not expect another oil refinery to be built in the United States ever again, due to federal government policies. The last significant refinery built in the United States was in 1976. (A small refinery came online in 2020 in North Dakota). Over the last two years, due to reduced demand from the pandemic and President Biden’s stated policy to reduce the demand for petroleum products, U.S. refineries have been shut down or repurposed to become biofuel refineries.
In a business where investments have a payout period of a decade or more, it is unlikely for investment to be spent on policies where the demand is to be reduced. Wirth stated rhetorically, “How do you go to your board, how do you go to your shareholders and say ‘we’re going to spend billions of dollars on new capacity in a market that is, you know, the policy is taking you in the other direction.”
This isn’t some idle threat or fit of pique on the part of the oil and gas industry. It’s just basic mathematics and economics. The Democrats, now led by Joe Biden, have been warning everyone for years that they were going to find a way to move the world away from the use of fossil fuels. Biden promised to “end fossil fuels” on the campaign trail and enacted policies moving in that direction starting on his first day in office. The oil and gas industry was listening and they’ve responded accordingly. When you told them who you were, they believed you.
...
he green warriors out there are probably tooting horns and throwing confetti into the air over the idea of the end of oil refineries in America. But when the reality of the coming liquid fuel shortage fully hits home, they will be singing a different tune. Renewable energy still only accounts for at most 13% of the power consumed in this country. We aren’t remotely close to being able to fully convert to electric vehicles, to say nothing of being able to recharge them all. And very nearly all of the food that you eat and the other products you purchase are brought to market in trucks and rail cars that use diesel to operate. There is a massive crisis on the way and everyone with the sense that God gave a goat is trying to warn you about it. And it’s a crisis of your own creation.

Re: Biden’s Scorecard
Environmentalists almost always have good intentions. However, good intentions don't always results in good outcomes. For instance, environmentalists trying to prevent nuclear energy from becoming more of a presence in the American electrical grid have inadvertently resulted in far more environmentally damaging technologies to be used over the past 3-4 decades. As for the above, the damage will be that we don't have plan B (renewable energy for the grid, electric vehicles for 100% of the vehicles being sold, and the expansion to the electrical grid to support this) ready by the time we've jettisoned Plan A (the current fossil fuel based electrical grid and transportation). We'd probably be ready in another 10 years or so as there is an avalanche of work being done on this, but we're not ready now. But politics being politics, that reality doesn't matter, we had to score political points now and we have what the Biden administration has wrought, which pretty much featured prominently on day 1 in office. We were never building more refineries, but that's been the case for decades, as the article mentioned. All we've done is unnecessarily sped up the need for Plan B. But like I said, people have already been pouring money into that, a government push isn't going to significantly improve the timing of when all of that becomes possible. And in the meantime, people without means and money will be the most impacted.

https://redstate.com/bonchie/2022/06/21 ... ry-n581842According to polling aggregate site 538, which has a hard-left bent on its editorial side, Biden is now the most unpopular president in recorded history at this point in his tenure. Just in his second year, he is more unpopular than any of his predecessors where polling data exists, stretching back nearly 90 years.

Like what came up in the other thread, we should avoid Presidents from the Middle Atlantic States as Biden is now seriously threatening Buchanan for that bottom spot. We haven't elected a President from PA since Buchanan and we could very well be looking at another 200 years or so before we'd ever consider someone from DE again.AZGrizFan wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 9:12 amHe has a habit of breaking records...and not in a good way.BDKJMU wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 8:46 am He did it!
