Pence: Biden’s energy agenda fuels inflation.
Former Vice President Mike Pence: Biden’s Energy Agenda Crippling Industry and Inflating Costs
Former Vice President Mike Pence believes that President Joe Biden’s energy agenda is having detrimental effects on the energy industry and contributing to high inflation and soaring costs for everyday Americans. In a recent op-ed for the Washington Examiner, Pence expressed his concerns about Biden’s commitment to ending fossil fuels and the negative consequences that have followed.
“He canceled the Keystone XL pipeline, imposed drilling moratoriums, and refused to auction oil and gas leases on federal lands. Now, he wants to cripple the energy industry by forcing it to comply with capricious environmental, social, and corporate governance regulations,” Pence wrote.
Pence highlighted the impact of Biden’s energy policies on the economy, stating that they have contributed to skyrocketing inflation and increased costs for families and small businesses. He pointed out that gas prices have risen by 60% and electricity costs by 25% since Biden took office.
While Biden may celebrate the recent drop in inflation to 3% in June, Pence argues that the damage caused by his policies, particularly in job production and national security, cannot be ignored. Pence believes that his own policies would address these issues and create a stronger economy if he were to become president in 2024.
“Unleashing American energy will not only create thousands of jobs and lower inflation substantially. It will also enhance America’s national security. As we’ve seen in Ukraine and the resulting energy crisis in Europe, energy is now being used as a geopolitical weapon,” Pence said, expressing concerns about China’s growing influence in the energy sector.
Pence outlined his vision for the future, stating that he aims to make the United States the leading energy producer by 2040. He emphasized the importance of being “source-neutral,” utilizing various energy sources such as oil, natural gas, nuclear, and renewable energy.
“We have the capacity and the natural resources — all we lack is the political will,” Pence said.
Pence’s campaign recently announced his qualification for the first Republican National Committee debate, scheduled for August 23. He joins a list of other candidates, including former President Donald Trump, Governor Ron DeSantis, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, Senator Tim Scott, former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, and Governor Doug Burgum.
While Trump has not confirmed his attendance at the debate, he stated that he would not sign the RNC pledge, which requires him to support the Republican presidential nominee if it is not himself.
