OPINION:
Gangrene is a medical condition resulting from a lack of blood flow to human flesh. It can be fatal if left untreated. The implementation of drastic, anti-fossil-fuel policies on behalf of the Democrats’ Green New Deal gang has resulted in an analogous economic affliction. Reasonably priced energy is the lifeblood of our economy and recent outright cancellations and administrative impediments on fossil-based fuel have had an infectious economic impact. Domestically, these “gang green” policies have caused fuel prices to double, accelerated inflationary pressures on both food and general goods, and will adversely impact a wide variety of derivate fossil-based products, including fertilizers. Internationally, the rise in fuel prices has resulted in windfall profits for anti-American regimes and underwritten a wide range of negative world events, including war and predictable famine.
We need to reject the intuitively appealing ambiguities being voiced by Green New Deal proponents, face reality and pursue cures for the economic pandemic unleashed by President Biden’s economic “gang green.”
