Biden admin spins empty office epidemic as a way to SAVE energy

The Biden administration is being ridiculed for hypocrisy as it touts 'energy savings' at federal buildings that are nearly empty of workers - and wasting billions of taxpayer dollars.

Energy Sec. Jennifer Granholm recently celebrated the Biden administration's efforts to reach net-zero emissions from federal buildings by establishing a rule outlawing the use of fossil fuels on-site.

'The Biden-Harris Administration is practicing what we preach,' Granholm said in a statement about the rule. 'Just as we are helping households and businesses across the nation save money by saving energy, we are doing the same in our own federal buildings.' But Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, is calling out Granholm for not sharing the whole truth.

She says that federal buildings are still hemorrhaging energy and cash as many government employees continue working from home while the lights remain on.

Biden is a genius. Come on, man. No joke!

Empty buildings save energy. So the more empty buildings, the better. Same goes for electric vehicles that can’t find a charging station. They become immobile, and so save energy.

“”Granholm is a empty headed bimbo””

Another day - another example of WHY I don’t like women in politics....have gone into the subject here numerous times but I’ll still reveal that I’m a female - not looking for a power trip...even if and when I was much, much younger.

The Biden solution to global climate change is a commercial real estate collapse.

In the south, we have “no see ums”. Bugs that nip away at you but you don’t see them, readily.

In the DC area, they have a million of “employees” that no one sees because they ‘work from home’. Just like the bugs, they nip away at you but you don’t see what they are doing, or not doing, readily.

IOW, there are about 900,000 at hand democrat votes.

This whole administration is empty headed. Or suffering from rectal/cranial inversion.

...a rule outlawing the use of fossil fuels on-site

The employees all used to light kerosene on fire inside metal oil drums and then stand around them to warm their hands, but this rule meant that they had to stop.

The easiest way was everyone work from home.
Companies and MOSTLY commercial real estate owners won’t back it.
