Energy industry fears Biden to declare climate emergency, seize powers like COVID pandemic
Just the News ^ | 7/30/23 | Addison Smith

President Joe Biden appears to be facing increasing demands to declare a climate emergency, like the one declared for the COVID-19 pandemic that had a devastating impact on the country, warns a top advocate for the U.S. oil and gas industry.

"They're leaning to that direction," U.S. Oil and Gas Association President Tim Stewart recently told Just the News. "If you grant the president's emergency powers to declare a climate emergency, it's just like COVID.”

Stewart also said such a declaration would give the president “vast and unchecked authority to shut down everything from communications to infrastructure."

He said infrastructure would include water and electricity, and that Biden also could freeze assets under such a declaration.

The energy industry is not the only ones with such fears. Many of us at FR have expressed the same concerns. The left saw how quickly the sheep agreed to be locked into their homes, their livelihood taken away, and their every movement monitored all because of a pandemic "emergency" that for most was no more than a common cold.

"Never let a crisis go to waste" is their motto. The second and usually unspoken part of that phrase is "if there is not a crisis then invent one".

Many people think that the COVID lockdowns were just a dry run.

Everything the government touches turns to crap yet the lesson is never learned. And everything the government touches turns into an inefficient bureaucratic empire that can barely do its job, if at all, and burns through money like there’s no limit to it. And they become immortal.

The world wide covid lockdown was proof that we already have a one world govt. it is not coming, it is here.

The question is what are we going to do about it?

Time for a weapons check. Clean, oil, check, repeat until action in all is buttery smooth.

This happens and all bets are off that voting in Nov. 2024 is going to fix the problem in Washington D.C.

So the President can just declare himself dictator on a whim? There is nothing in the Constitution where the executive has been given this sort of power.

We all know it’s not up to Biden. It’s up to whoever is pulling strings.

Some people don’t have enough adversity in their lives, they have to go out and invent some.

But adversity can have some really immense multiplier effects. Be careful how much adversity is unleashed. A little, keeps people alert and provides great situational awareness. Too much, though, comes back to bite us ALL in the gluteus maximus.

President Joe Biden appears to be facing increasing demands to declare a climate emergency,...

Stewart also said such a declaration would give the president “vast and unchecked authority to shut down everything from communications to infrastructure."

Such an act by the government will constitute an unmitigated, gross breach of the Constitution and warrants extrajudicial punishment of ALL involved in executing resulting illegal policies.

Fair warning to all state/local politicians not insulated by thousands of miles, bollards and the Federal Protective Service.

“Many people think that the COVID lockdowns were just a dry run.”


It was mostly to get rid of Trump but also to see how successful their indoctrination had been thus far and how much power (pun intended) they could take without serious push-back. Apparently, they can take a lot. All with the apparent support of most of the voters.

With the DOJ, FBI, CIA, ALL BRANCHES OF THE MILITARY, and the rest of the Representative and administrative branches of the government compromised, how do we address our grievances?

“COVID lockdowns were just a dry run” — it sure looks like it given this outlandish bit of news.
