The energy crisis continues. It’s what Oklahoma Republican congressman Markwayne Mullin told his followers this weekend in a newsletter to them. And he put the blame largely on the shoulders of President Biden.
He pointed to Biden’s waiver of sanctions on Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline, a move that came after the President had cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline in the U.S. Mulling said the cancellation in effect killed thousands of jobs in this country.
“Now, as tensions escalate between Putin and our ally, Ukraine, Putin is weaponizing energy to strong-arm other European nations,” wrote Rep. Mullin.
“President Biden’s failure to show strength in the energy industry has now become weakness in the face of national security.”
Congressman Mullin said there is much more to the energy conversation than solar panels and wind turbines.
“His Green New Deal agenda is hurting our country in more ways than one.”
