The so-called “global energy coalition” has decided to dump 400 million barrels of oil onto the market. Apparently, the world’s bureaucrats think this will save us from soaring prices after Iran brought chaos to the Strait of Hormuz. But let’s say what every real American is thinking: this is nothing more than another bandage slapped on wounds left wide open by years of failed liberal energy policies.
The world wouldn’t be this desperate if Western countries, especially the United States, hadn’t bowed to radical green activists. Instead of energy independence, we handed the keys to dictators, oil sheiks, and anti-American regimes. Now, as the war in Iran chokes off oil routes, all the globalists can do is beg and borrow from their “emergency reserves.” Biden’s friends in Brussels and at the IEA are quick to join in. But have they ever stopped to wonder why we were unprepared in the first place?
It’s not complicated. When the left waged war on American oil, gas, and coal, they claimed it would save the world. All it did was make us weak. Washington sat back and watched as pipelines were canceled, leases were shut down, and reliable power was mothballed. Now, when real threats pop up—like Iran stirring up trouble—who’s left holding the bag? Everyday Americans are stuck with higher prices, shortages, and all the pain that comes from relying on foreign oil.
Instead of fixing the root of the problem, the globalists are playing games with reserves. They’re tossing oil into the market and hoping nobody notices how badly their “green revolution” failed. We know better. Every time they attack our energy producers and side with environmental extremists, the average family suffers. The elites don’t care—this is about maintaining their power, their feel-good climate conferences, and their cushy jobs at international agencies.
America shouldn’t have to depend on some unstable “coalition” to keep the lights on. We have the resources, the talent, and the drive to be energy dominant—if only our leaders would get out of the way. The real shock isn’t coming from Hormuz. It’s coming from years of disastrous liberal decisions. How many more “emergencies” will it take before we put America first again?
