Biden better hope voters in Pennsylvania and West Virginia weren’t paying attention when he said this because HOO BOY, he just gave the whole kit and kaboodle away. We all knew they were lying about drilling and fossil fuels, we all heard Biden talk about how he would end them during his campaign, but they didn’t want people in key states to remember that so they’ve worked really hard to deflect with things like abortion and MUH DEMOCRACY.
This was yesterday, just two days before the midterms.
No. More. Drilling.
Guess what that will do to states like Pennsylvania and West Virginia?
Watch:

You go, Biden.
HA HA HA HA HA
Michael Shellenberger was good enough to take Biden apart:
Here is Biden shouting “No more drilling. There is no more drilling!” at a rally with New York Gov. @GovKathyHochul @KathyHochul

At a Hochul event.
Because of course.
Keep going.
By shouting "No More Drilling. There is no more drilling!" at a New York rally, Biden has effectively admitted that he & his administration have been lying for months.https://t.co/uCtv090EjF

Lying their ass*s off for months.
Yup.
A member of the audience who can be heard saying, “Five more years of offshore drilling! Not on the Atlantic or the Pacific. But in the Antarctic [sic] & off the Gulf of Mexico,” to which Biden says, “That was before I was president. We're trying to work on that, get that done."

Work on that.
Right.
On Nov 2, Energy Sec Granholm tweeted, “Disinfo about @POTUS' energy agenda is being used to scare/mislead Americans… The facts are clear: This Admin outpaced the previous Admin on crude oil production + oil/gas well approvals…”https://t.co/cfdkiXhCNW
— Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) November 7, 2022
Here we go … this is what they’ve been doing.
Granholm tweeted out a Politico article that noted that Biden administration regulators approved oil and gas wells more quickly than the Trump administration did during its first 21 months in office.https://t.co/32xPYhrAhH
— Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) November 7, 2022
But the story was misleading because those approvals were entirely for drilling on private and state land, which are outside of the administration’s control, something Politico acknowledged 12 paragraphs into its article.

So in other words, their claims are BS and meaningless to Americans who are suffering under the Biden administration.
I have documented the lies Biden has told about his energy policy for the last five months. They include specific lies about oil refinery capacity and oil and gas leases.
Now, Biden has effectively confessed to the lie.https://t.co/MkEYWdtnJr

To be fair, we’re not entirely sure Biden has any clue what the Hell he’s been saying over the past five months but we digress.
The Biden administration has been desperately seeking to censor its opponents on energy issues for months in the name of "combatting disinformation."
In fact, the Biden administration is the main source of disinfo on energy in the U.S.https://t.co/qbdaVDbN5c

Seems like this administration has been desperately trying to censor people on a lot of issues.
In a talk with Axios, Biden Administration Climate Advisor Gina McCarthy said, “The tech companies have to stop allowing specific individuals over and over again to spread disinformation.”
She then went on to spread misinformation.https://t.co/M6iOs5ts1F

Classy.
We now know, thanks to reporting by @lhfang , that Facebook & Twitter were collaborating w/ Dept of Homeland Security, FBI to police “disinfo.” https://t.co/MFFSn9V6M1
— Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) November 7, 2022
Yup. Big Tech colluding with the Biden administration to make sure us lowly Americans only see, hear, read, and listen to certain ideas and opinions. If that doesn’t infuriate you enough to vote red for the next 50 years, we don’t know what will.
And we know, thanks to reporting by @ggreenwald , that efforts by Biden administration and its allies have been intensifying in recent months.https://t.co/6XpjA3E8rU
— Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) November 7, 2022
Yup, they’ve been very worried about the midterms.
They should be.
It's now clear that brazen lying is the flip side of disinformation. Lie to the public and then demand censorship of those who point out the facts. This is clearly what is happening on energy.
— Michael Shellenberger (@ShellenbergerMD) November 7, 2022
It’s the Biden (Democrat) way.
Not expanding domestic oil and gas production puts all of the West in danger by putting liberal democracies at greater mercy of Saudis and Russians. That Biden begs others to produce oil and gas while suppressing domestic production is insane https://t.co/eVFoGwhyio

But but but … Trump! Putin! ARGLE BARGLE RAR.
Vote accordingly, peeps.
