Even Woke Cancel Culture Won’t Help Democrats

Woke Cancel Culture media censorship and thought control has been a potent weapon for President Biden and Democrats, even on gasoline prices.
Having promised to end fossil fuel production and use in America, Mr. Biden immediately shut down the Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada; halted onshore and offshore leasing; rejected drilling permit applications; launched “social cost of carbon,” “environmental justice” and “climate risk disclosure” programs; and pressured banks not to fund drilling and pipeline projects.
When a court ruled the leasing ban was illegal, the Interior Department waited ten months before saying it would hold one lease sale for a tiny speck of federal land. Any companies that might bid on those leases will then have to hope they can get drilling, road and pipeline permits, and make a profit while paying sharply higher royalty payments on any production, plus “windfall profit” taxes that some congressional Democrats are advocating, along with nationalizing U.S. oil companies.
