In the latest installment of the Biden administration’s never-ending quest to destroy the American energy industry, President Joe Biden has announced the allocation of a whopping $7 billion for a program dedicated to the development and production of hydrogen fuel. Yes, you heard that right. Hydrogen fuel. Because apparently, the left believes that one day we’ll all be powering our cars with bubbles.
But let’s not be fooled by the smoke and mirrors of the White House’s press release. This is nothing more than another scheme concocted by the left to move away from our reliable and affordable fossil fuels. The same fossil fuels that have powered our nation for decades and kept our economy booming. If the Democrats had their way, we’d all be pedaling our way to work on stationary bikes.
According to the press release, seven regional clean hydrogen hubs have been selected to receive this mind-boggling amount of money. These hubs, located in California, Washington, Minnesota, Texas, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Illinois, will supposedly produce more than three million metric tons of clean hydrogen per year. But let’s not get too excited. That’s equivalent to about one-third of the clean hydrogen production goal for 2030. So much for ambitious targets.
The White House goes on to claim that these hydrogen hubs will eliminate a whopping 25 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year. They even compare it to taking more than 5.5 million cars off the road. But here’s the thing – hydrogen isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Critics argue that hydrogen frequently relies on natural gas as a fuel source, which completely undermines its supposed “clean” status. It’s like claiming a cheeseburger is a health food because it comes with a side of lettuce.
But let’s not stop there. The left’s climate change agenda is based on the faulty premise that mankind can somehow control the weather. It’s a ludicrous notion that flies in the face of science and common sense. Climate change has been occurring since the dawn of time, long before humans even existed. Yet the left thinks that by spending billions of dollars on hydrogen fuel, they can single-handedly save the planet. It’s like trying to stop a hurricane with a paper umbrella.
And let’s not forget the elephant in the room – China. While the Biden administration is busy pouring money into hydrogen fuel, China continues to be one of the world’s leading producers of greenhouse gases. If we’re truly serious about combatting climate change, shouldn’t we be focusing our efforts on getting China to clean up its act? But that would require real leadership and tough negotiations, something that this administration seems allergic to.
So there you have it, folks. The Biden administration’s latest boondoggle disguised as a solution for climate change. Hydrogen fuel may sound like a bright idea on the surface, but scratch beneath the surface and you’ll find nothing but hot air. It’s time for the American people to rise up and demand real solutions, not fanciful dreams funded by their hard-earned tax dollars.
