The Biden administration’s energy boss just made a shocking move: he told a Texas oil company to fire up operations off the coast of California—and he used the Defense Production Act to do it. That’s right, the very same government that loves to demonize oil companies and bow down to environmental extremists now admits, when the chips are down, America needs real energy. Who would’ve guessed? Certainly not the liberals who spent years demanding shutdowns and cheering every time a pipeline or rig went dark.
This is the height of hypocrisy. For nearly a decade after that old California oil spill, Democrats paraded their climate obsessions around like a badge of honor. They drove hardworking Americans in the energy sector out of their jobs and celebrated every drilling ban as if they’d saved humanity. Now, suddenly, the Biden team is scrambling to get the oil flowing again. Why? Because their green fantasies hit the wall against reality. American security, not to mention basic economic survival, depends on oil. No amount of wishful thinking from Tesla salesmen or Silicon Valley billionaires can change that.
And look at who’s getting dragged back to the table—a Texas company. Suddenly, “Big Oil” isn’t the villain if Washington’s globalist games get threatened. Notice how quickly the so-called climate warriors forget their talking points as soon as national strength is at risk. That’s what’s happening here. Progressives don’t care about America’s backbone. They only care about their next photo-op and pat on the back from European bureaucrats.
What about California’s own leaders? For years, they stacked ridiculous rules on top of each other, crushing jobs, choking off American energy, and driving up the price of everything. They were thrilled to shut things down. But when crisis comes calling, it’s the oil patch, not windmills or solar panels, that keeps the country running. Liberals never seem to learn—energy independence isn’t a luxury. It’s essential for a strong nation.
So let’s call this for what it is: a desperate scramble by anti-oil zealots, forced to admit that the American energy sector is the engine that keeps this country free and strong. When everything is on the line, even the loudest green crusaders know who really powers America. Isn’t it about time we stopped letting these hypocrites run the show?
