When Joe Biden canceled the Keystone Pipeline his first day in office he knew he was on the road to making America again dependent on foreign energy. He didn’t care. Paying back debts to the hard Left mattered more to him. As such, he subjugated America to foreign powers. Sounds at least like dereliction of duty. Sounds more like treason.

FNC: “A former Keystone XL pipeline worker said the energy industry ‘tried to warn’ President Biden against policies hindering U.S. oil and gas production – policies the worker said have caused the country’s growing energy crisis.

The average price for a gallon of gasoline in the U.S. hit a record high this week, as oil neared $130 per barrel. Biden announced Tuesday that he was banning Russian oil and gas imports, which he said targets the ‘main artery of Russia’s economy.’ ”

“Since Putin began his military buildup on Ukrainian borders – just since then – the price of gas at pumps in America went up 75 cents,” he said. “And with this action it’s going to go up further,” said Biden recently. Absurd.

Jen Psaki tried outright lies. “Federal policies are not limiting the supplies of oil and gas,” Psaki said Monday. “There are 9,000 approved drilling permits that are not being used, so the suggestion that we are not allowing companies to drill is inaccurate,” she continued. “I would suggest you ask the oil companies why they’re not using those if there’s a desire to drill more.”

In response, former Keystone Pipeline worker Neal Crabtree told press: “There’s no energy company [that’s] gonna spend the money to develop a new lease if they can’t build a pipeline to move the project.

“We tried to warn this administration back when they canceled the Keystone Pipeline” that it was also “canceling national security, foreign policy and energy. They all kinda go hand-in-hand.

“Even if we can fix the Ukrainian problem, the prices are still going up,” he said. Biden’s “policies have everything to do with the rising fuel prices in this country today. It has nothing to do with the war in Ukraine,” Crabtree continued.

“When I’d first seen the reports of the president going to places like Iran and Venezuela to ask for more oil output, I said ‘this is fake news, he hasn’t gone this far off the rocker,’” Crabtree told media. “But I guess that’s the path they want to take. “Why not invite North Korea?” he continued. “Maybe they’ve got a few barrels of oil that they can spare?”
