‘Bidenomics’ pitch not flying, ‘net neutrality’ charade returns and other commentaryany “carbon-intensive engagements” for oil, natural gas and coal, according to a Sept. 15 memo from Energy Department Deputy Secretary David Turk
“This guidance sets out a presumption that agencies and departments will pursue international energy engagement that advances clean energy projects,” Turk was quoted as saying in the memo.The White House has banned senior administration officials from attending most international conferences that promote fossil fuel production, according to a new report.
“Carbon-intensive international energy engagements are those ‘directly related and dedicated to the production, transportation, or consumption of carbon-intensive fuels that would lead to additional greenhouse gas emissions.’”The officials must ask special permission for exceptions related to support national security or to protect “energy access” in some regions.Reps for the Energy Department and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
“The Biden administration cannot continue to treat the fossil fuels industry as an enemy,” Turner said. “Millions of people are employed in this industry which powers our entire nation, our military, our national security, and allows Joe Biden to jet off every weekend to his beach house.”President Biden issued an executive order in August 2021 that would force 50% of new cars produced to be “zero emission” by 2030, along with fuel efficiency standards.
