It is a call for <em>more of America<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The only part of America where Biden wants more is in our tax dollars. Recall that exactly one year after we were on that VP debate stage together, then-Vice President Biden proudly <a href=\"https:\/\/obamawhitehouse.archives.gov\/the-press-office\/vice-president-biden-announces-finalized-535-million-loan-guarantee-solyndra\">signed off<\/a> on a $535 million loan to a little-know solar company called Solyndra.&nbsp;Taxpayers&nbsp;were burned on that deal, and now Biden\u2019s trying to take even more&nbsp;of our hard-earned&nbsp;money for more&nbsp;Solyndras. Gotta\u2019 give him credit \u2014 he believes in the green agenda so much that he even recycles terrible ideas.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18953386\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" readability=\"44\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18953386\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AP100526087562.jpg\" alt width=\"1920\" height=\"1544\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">In this May 26, 2010, photo, President Obama, center, is given a tour of Solyndra by Executive Vice President Ben Bierman (right) as Chief Executive Officer Chris Gronet (left) walks along at Solyndra Inc. in Fremont, California.

Consequences took a few months to kick in, but we\u2019re feeling them now. Drilling has slowed. Exploration has slowed. Investment has been scared away. Devastating ramifications are around the corner.<\/p>\n<p>America now suffers because two million fewer barrels of oil are being <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2021-02-16\/blizzard-cuts-u-s-oil-output-by-over-2-million-barrels-a-day\">produced<\/a> every day <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/petroleum\/production\/\">compared<\/a> to just one year ago. The diminished supply caused the&nbsp;huge spike in prices,&nbsp;which gets&nbsp;compounded across every other sector of the economy, including agriculture, manufacturing, transportation, and job creation in general. Much of our current inflation (a record <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/economy\/2021\/11\/10\/consumer-prices-soar-6-2\/\">6.2 percent<\/a> in the last quarter!) is driven by these energy costs. The entire domino effect was started at the White House&nbsp;by a president who won\u2019t learn his lesson.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>More energy means more possibilities, more prosperity, and more security. Cheaper electric bills mean&nbsp;businesses&nbsp;don\u2019t have to raise prices. It means manufactured goods and food aren\u2019t as expensive. It means our families save more and pay less to commute, eat, educate, and entertain. Inexpensive&nbsp;energy powers the national economy. Our energy has turned America into the envy of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of celebrating&nbsp;such an important distinction,&nbsp;we suffer under an administration that punishes it. The White House looks to our adversaries to provide us with the energy we need to survive; and it\u2019s energy we have right underfoot.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18953410\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" readability=\"39\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18953410\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/AP080129039410.jpg\" alt width=\"1920\" height=\"1401\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alaska Gov.

But now the joke\u2019s on us, as&nbsp;Vladimir Putin gets&nbsp;the last laugh.&nbsp;Russia itself could not have&nbsp;designed&nbsp;a more favorable U.S. foreign policy&nbsp;than what Joe Biden has delivered.<\/p>\n<p>The American people are practical and rational, and we are growing impatient. Americans innately understand \u201cDrill, baby, drill,\u201d which is&nbsp;why&nbsp;it resonated on the campaign trail in 2008.&nbsp;It is why in 2019, we became the world\u2019s largest oil and gas producer,&nbsp;lowering emissions while&nbsp;relegating OPEC to irrelevance.&nbsp;We succeeded because we got government out of the way, and the great American system of free markets drilled.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDrill, baby drill\u201d is a call for less government and more trust in the American people. It\u2019s a call for more America! That spirit was true in 1776 and is&nbsp;true today.&nbsp;The current energy crisis is entirely manmade by the politician currently residing at&nbsp;1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.<\/p>\n<p>But I remind myself that we just celebrated Thanksgiving, and so I share a reminder that we should all be grateful that once this administration is gone,&nbsp;America&nbsp;can return to her position&nbsp;as the world\u2019s leader and the most prosperous and voluntarily generous nation on earth, because we\u2019ll again be the world\u2019s largest energy producer.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sarah Palin is the former governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s curious how certain phrases catch on.
