U.S. energy experts are warning of the economic and national security implications of President Biden's pact with China this week to move towards shutting down fossil fuel production in favor of green energy. The State Department announced this week it had struck a deal with its Chinese counterparts pledging to "accelerate the substitution for coal, oil and gas generation" with green energy sources like wind and solar power. The nations, which account for nearly half of global greenhouse gas emissions, also agreed to "deepen policy exchanges" on reducing carbon emissions in various sectors, like power, industry, buildings and transportation, across their economies.

Does Congress even matter anymore? They pass year after year these huge omnibus budgets - not one program or heaven forbid, an agency, ever gets its budget reduced and certainly not eliminated. They hold hearing after hearing where they all pontificate and accomplish nothing. No, we have Congressmen acting like high school girls over who elbowed who or holding their noses in the air because of their self-righteousness wasting time expelling a Representative who was shady before he got into Congress but let's not pursue anyone who is currently corrupt.
The Biden regime is destroying this country from the inside with help from China, but hey, we're getting a couple more pandas back at some American zoo.

If we can get Trump back in the WH, I would not waste time with an inauguration where several unsavory Deep State henchmen will likely be waiting.....head straight to the Oval.... Executive Order No. 1 should be to nullify every action and appointment made by Mr Beach Boy! Then detain all of his key people and take their passports so they can't run! That's for starters!

Of course China has no plans to implement these crazy global warming schemes but are happy to sign on-board while they laugh there butts off watching us returning to caveman living.

Right. China won't shut down fossil fuels but we will. You wait, that is exactly what our enemies want; us dead in the water.

All this means is more fossil fuels to China. Did they agree to end their use of fossil fuels? Bet they never agreed to do anything.
Stop listening to our enemies when forming policy. Our country will collapse if we do. It's probably too late already which means everyone should be looking at how to survive this.
Our fake government is doing this to us.

You want to eat bugs and berries? You want to bicycle to work? You want to stay at home and refrain from traveling outside your allotted miles? You want to own nothing and be happy? Then Joe Biden is your guy! However, if you want to be free to choose and be the master of your destiny, run from this rancid ideology. It is a farce that is being pushed by the elite of the elites because it will make them even more rich and powerful and will assure that they will have their boot on your neck until the day you die. Live free or die!

China will NOT 'shut down fossil fuels', regardless of what they told Traitor Joe. Joe will follow orders to work hard to cripple the USA energy production, to help China.
Just like a well paid traitor.

We are so bereft of strong leadership - We the People can do no more than pound away furiously at our keyboards. Any one of the thoughtful commenters on this site would make better decisions than our freaking PRESIDENT. Who should be steering the ship of our Nation, and he is - but straight into the rocks. What more are WE able to do? Running for school board ain't gonna cut it.

And when we bankrupt our economy by going green and then ask China why they have not,
they will just laugh at us.

#2, the problem is they can't change anything since it's on a CR (continuing resolution) which maintains everything as-is, plus the cost of living increase.
CR's take away the Power of the Purse from Congress, but since they've been operating on one since fiscal year 2007, there does not seem to be much of an appetite to change this process.
(it was something the current Congress was working on but has not been able to do - McCain was for returning to General Order appropriations)

One thing that the Communists don't realize is that for each MW of Green Energy, you need a MW of base load energy, in other words, coal, gas or nuclear energy to take up the slack when 'green' energy doesn't produce any power. Otherwise, you have a power grid that is unreliable and not worth connecting to.

America is swimming in fossil fuels and can run our economic engine on our own resources forever. So of course the traitor-in-chief is promising not to use our own resources but to use "alternate energy," supplied by China, while hamstringing our economy. Meanwhile, China is burning coal to power their economy.
What more evidence do the useless congressional GOPers need to impeach this traitor?!?!? How can any American still support him?

What did the moron get in return? Oh, the commies will continue building coal plants all over China. Hasn't this dumber than a brick piece of trash gotten the message that the Chinese have little regard for humans? I forgot. The occasional resident in the WH only knows which backward country he was able to shake down for millions.
