President Biden appeared to go off script during his State of the Union address Tuesday evening, saying that the U.S. would need oil and natural gas for many years to come.

"We are still going to need oil and gas for a while," Biden said during his speech.

Biden's comments were quickly met with a mixed reaction as some Republicans appeared to cheer the remarks.

The president then told an anecdote in which an oil executive asked him why his company should invest in fossil fuel projects in light of the negative business atmosphere for oil and gas projects. Biden said he responded that oil and gas would be needed for years to come.

That comment still belies the fact that the Democrat/Socialist/Envirocommunists want to destroy the entire fossil-fuels economy as soon as they possibly can.

Well, yes, otherwise how can the BigGuy get his cut when he OK’s purchases from places like Venezuela? Destroy domestic production but encourage money-laundering scams from outside.

We are going to need oil, natural gas and coal for a very long time, or at least until somebody creates cold fusion. The technology for wind turbines and solar panels is a bust. The technology is still unreliable, inefficient, and cannot provide even 25% of our energy needs.

Petroleum (oil, natural gas and coal) are plentiful (regardless as to what we are told), efficient, and readily available/recoverable. In addition to energy, petroleum is also a key ingredient in the production of clothing, fertilizers, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, plastics and damn near everything else we manufacture and depend on in our daily lives.

Biden’ State of the Union address looked like a Saturday Night Live skit slurring words getting people in the wrong job blank moments............

The Pee You Meter railed in the red.
