Biden climate policy on track to punish blue-collar America, prop up Putin, experts warn

In former President Donald Trump’s final month in office, the United States achieved something it hadn’t in more than a generation: In the final week of December, America didn’t import a single drop of crude oil from Saudi Arabia for the first time in 35 years.

For many, it was a testament to Trump’s America-first energy policy, which prioritized reliance on domestic production and drove global crude prices down below $50 a barrel for most of 2020 and U.S. gasoline prices to an average of about $2.30 in December.

The low prices throughout 2020 also crimped Russia’s energy-dependent economy, leading to greater unrest in Moscow.

The Biden energy and climate plan “really exposed this schism between the blues and the greens in the Democratic Party,” said Steve Moore, a Heritage Foundation economist who advised Trump. “The whole green agenda it turns out is anti-blue collar industrial workers.”

Moore said one of the ironies is that the Biden agenda will aid Russia, Saudi Arabia and Iran to the detriment of U.S. markets.
