No, we’re not having a “war on fossil fuels.” If we were, we might actually be addressing what’s going to happen when fossil fuels run out in 2052²⁵. They’re a finite resource. I’m not sure how they believe they’re going to “restore” our energy independence, when it soared to a 70-year high in 2022²⁵ – under Joe Biden. (Although I’ll admit that leaving out the context is disingenuous here – we achieved energy independence under Trump, because of the shale boom that began in 2005. Biden has presided over even higher levels.)

Forbes underscores the importance of consistent terminology when we talk about energy independence:

“It’s important to understand that the following two statements are each true under a consistent definition of energy independence.

1. If the U.S. is not energy independent under Joe Biden, then it was never energy independent under Donald Trump.
2. If the U.S. was energy independent under Donald Trump, then energy independence has grown to record levels under Joe Biden.
