In a move that is sure to leave Americans struggling to keep up with their energy bills, President Biden has decided to put more restrictions on offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico. Can you believe it? The Gulf of Mexico, one of the biggest sources of petroleum in the entire country! It’s like Biden wants to drive up energy costs and make everyone’s wallets cry.
Joe Biden has created a way to set energy policy in this country that doesn’t involve EOs, agency rules, or Congressional law.

Now, the excuse Biden gave for these restrictions is that he wants to protect some endangered species of whale. Sure, saving the environment is important, but let’s be real here. Biden is just using this as an excuse to push his radical environmental agenda. It’s pseudoscience at its finest, folks.
So, what do these restrictions actually mean? Well, oil and gas vessels are now being told to only operate during the day and at slow speeds. Can you imagine? It’s like Biden wants to make their job as difficult as possible. This could even lead to safety hazards, like increased collisions, because the vessels won’t have enough time to travel to port. But hey, who cares about safety when you’re trying to appease the environmentalists, right?
Industry groups aren’t too happy about this, and I don’t blame them. They’re saying that these restrictions are going to harm consumers and hurt our economy. And they’re absolutely right. By limiting the amount of drilling we can do in the Gulf, we’re just going to end up relying more on imports and driving up energy costs for hardworking Americans. Thanks, Biden!
But that’s not all. The Interior Department also approved a massive wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island. You know, because Biden loves picking winners and losers in the energy sector. Forget about good old-fashioned fossil fuels that have powered this country for decades. Biden wants to replace them with unreliable sources like wind and solar. I mean, seriously? Is this guy trying to tank our energy security?
And speaking of energy costs, have you noticed that gas prices are on the rise? They’re inching closer and closer to $4 a gallon, despite all the efforts of Biden and the media to paint a pretty picture of the economy. It’s like they think we’re blind or something. Rising gas prices hit the average American where it hurts the most – their wallets. But hey, as long as Biden can pat himself on the back for being “green,” I guess that’s all that matters, right?
In the end, these restrictions on offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico are just another example of Biden’s attack on American energy. It’s going to drive up costs, hurt our economy, and make us more dependent on foreign sources. But hey, at least Biden can say he did something for the environment. Too bad the American people are the ones who will end up paying the price.
