1. Walk back his PROMISE to eliminate fossil fuels in less than 10 years. Oil producers are not stupid. They know if their entire industry has been targeted for destruction by the government, they need to get their profits NOW, because future profits are in jeopardy. He could say that the goal is to one day eliminate fossil fuels, as technology advances. But to threaten an entire industry with destruction in less than 10 years, especially when the technology isn't going to be available to do so yet, is just plain foolish. At least for consumers, its foolish. For woke rich democrat politicians, I'm sure it makes a lot of sense.
2. Turn loose American oil producers, and let them drill for new sources of oil in the meantime. American energy independence is a good thing, not an evil thing. America shouldn't have to go with hat in hand to OPEC or any other oil producing country to beg for more oil. We have all we need here. And let the companies build new refineries. Today's technology in refining fuels is better and produces less pollution than years ago. Let these people do what they do. Stop treating them like they are 'raping the environment'. That's all hogwash.
But no. Its much better to go begging to the rest of the world to 'help us'. If this is really part of 'Putin's war', then he's winning with the US government's help.
