How have the suppliers hands been tied.



How about a list:

The Biden administration did not get all these put in effect (thank heaven there are still some in D.C. paying attention) ..... but it makes their true goal easy to see.

• 01/20/2021 – Ending Trump's Energy Independence Initiatives: Biden wasted no time living up to his promise,
issuing a Day 1 Climate Change Executive Order (EO) requiring agencies to review and revoke Trump's pro-American
energy rules and actions throughout the executive branch.

• 01/20/2021 – Burdensome Emissions Regulations: Biden’s EO required agencies to take action to increase
burdensome emissions regulations as part of the Left’s green agenda and subsidize "good union jobs."

• 01/20/2021 – Monument Designations: Biden continued setting the tone on Day 1 by cordoning off large swaths of
federal land under the guise of National Monument designations, reducing the ability to produce American energy
domestically.

• 01/20/2021 – ANWR: Biden continued restricting domestic production by issuing a moratorium on all oil and natural
gas leasing activities in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

• 01/20/2021 – Social Costs of Carbon: Biden restored and expanded the use of the social costs of carbon metric to
artificially increase the regulatory costs of energy production, as well as artificially increasing the so-called "benefits" of
decreasing production.

• 01/20/2021 – Keystone XL Pipeline: Biden’s EO went on to revoke the Keystone XL Pipeline, shutting off an efficient
source of energy transportation which would have brought more oil into the country.

• 01/20/2021 – WOTUS: Biden continued to revoke Trump administration executive orders, including those related to
WOTUS and the Antiquities Act. The Trump-era actions decreased regulations on Federal land and expanded the ability
to produce energy domestically.

01/27/2021 – Climate Financing: A week later, Biden was back at it again. This Biden EO attacked the energy industry
by promoting “ending international financing of carbon-intensive fossil fuel-based energy while simultaneously
advancing sustainable development and a green recovery." In other words, the US government would leverage its power
to attack oil and gas producers while subsidizing favored industries.

01/27/2021 – Gas Lease Moratorium: The EO announced a moratorium on new oil and gas leases on public lands or
in offshore waters and reconsideration of Federal oil and gas permitting and leasing practices. In other words, Biden
provided he is following through on his promise to "end" fossil fuels

01/27/2021 – Fossil Fuel “Subsidies”: Biden's EO directed agencies to eliminate Federal fossil fuel subsidies
wherever possible without comparable actions for other energy sources, disadvantaging oil and gas.

02/19/2021 – Paris Climate Agreement: Biden rejoins the Paris Climate Agreement, an agenda which puts American
energy at risk, props up energy production in Russia and China, while increasing the dependence of Europe on Russian
oil.

02/23/2021 – H.R. 803: Biden Administration issued a Statement of Administration Policy in support of H.R. 803 which
curtailed energy production on over 1.5 million acres of federal lands.

04/27/2021 – S.J. Res. 14: The Biden Administration issued a Statement of Administration Policy in support of S.J. Res.
14 which rescinded a Trump-era Rule that would have cut regulations on American energy production.

07/28/2021 – DOE Building Codes: This Department of Energy (DOE) determination increases regulatory burdens on
commercial building codes, requiring green energy codes to disincentivize natural gas and other carbon sources. DOE
readily admits they ignored efforts private industry is making on their own and utilized the questionable "social costs of
carbon" to overstate the public benefit

08/05/2021 – Biden “Clean Cars and Trucks” Executive Order: This executive order established a new target to make
half of all new vehicles sold in 2030 zero-emissions vehicles, including battery electric, plug-in hybrid electric, or fuel cell
electric vehicles. The Executive Order also kicked off development of more stringent long-term fuel efficiency and
emissions standards to, among other things, "advance environmental justice, and tackle the climate crisis.”

08/05/2021 – EPA Clean Trucks Plan: The same day, the EPA announced plans for further transportation emissions
regulations targeted at heavy-duty trucks, aiming to shift markets in favor of zero-emission vehicles.

09/09/2021 – Department of Education (ED) Climate Action Plan: ED's CAP includes efforts to incorporate the green
agenda into as many guidance and policies as possible, effectively leveraging the department as an anti-fossil fuel
propaganda tool.

11/19/2021 – Biden-endorsed Methane Tax: Build Back Better (BBB) included a new tax on natural gas, in the form
of a tax on methane, of up to $1500 per ton

11/19/2021 –BBB Royalties: The Biden-supported bill would increase fees and royalties for onshore and offshore oil
and gas production and institute other such increases aimed at curtailing the fossil fuel industry.

11/19/2021 – BBB Oil and Gas Tax: BBB includes a new $8 billion tax on companies that produce, process, transmit or
store oil and natural gas starting in 2023

02/19/2022 – Oil and Gas Permit Delay: The Biden administration paused working all new oil and gas leases on
Federal land in response to a judge blocking their arbitrary use of social costs of carbon, unnecessarily hurting domestic
production.

02/09/2022 – Coal and Oil Power Plant Mercury Standards: This proposed rule would revoke a Trump-era rule that
cut red tape on coal and oil-fired power generators. This would effectively reinstate Obama-era regulations which
sought to increase regulations on coal and oil-fired power plants.

03/30/2022 Environmental Justice Advisory Council Meeting: The WHEJAC will hold its first two
meetings to, among other things, advance Green New Deal priorities including "environmental justice and pollution
reduction, energy, climate change mitigation and resiliency, environmental health, and racial inequity."
