What Biden has done is to cut the issuance of drilling leases to the minimum required by law, pass the Inflation Reduction Act, enact a regulation to force vehicle electrification, and similarly force fossil fuels out of most power plants.

What Biden has not done: stop issuing drilling permits or impose export restrictions on fossil fuels. The former has some serious limits because of how the courts treat the right to drill as a property right once you hold a drilling lease, and the latter is simply untested.

    Everyone is a keyboard warrior, but not all of us have a point - do you?

    TL;DR of your citation: Developing nations are a drop in the ocean, fossil fuels have significant downsides, and it wouldn’t be fair to put this burden on them - even if it threatens their existence more than most.

    None of that disagrees meaningfully with anything I’ve said. Renewables are a cheaper solution all of us should be using.

    What’s the point you failed to outsource?
