We\u2019re coming up on three and a half years into the Biden presidency \u2014 a presidency which from the outset promised an \u201call of government\u201d regulatory onslaught to force a transition away from fossil fuels and to \u201cgreen\u201d energy. And the regulatory onslaught has indeed come forth. But how about the actual transition in energy use? Not so much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s have a round-up of some recent data points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the regulatory onslaught front, on March 7, 2024 Thomas Pyle of the Institute for Energy Research put out a list of \u201c200 Ways the Biden Administration and Democrats Have Made it Harder to Produce Oil & Gas.\u201d<\/a> The list is chronological, beginning with Executive Orders that Biden issued on his first day in office (January 20, 2021) and continuing right up to the date of the post. Yes there is some duplication and overlap in the list (e.g., separately listing multiple steps toward approval of a single regulation); but even with that, the sheer number of efforts to restrict, hamper, harass and extort fossil fuel producers is breathtaking. You will probably remember most of this stuff, but it\u2019s remarkable to see it all put together in one place. By all means look through the full list, but meanwhile here is a small sample of the more significant items:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
