On Thursday, The Epoch Times<\/a> reported that President Biden had quietly approved plans to build a new crude oil terminal in the Gulf of Mexico off Texas. Obviously, this is not in agreement with the green energy agenda of the Biden administration.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Department of Transportation\u2019s Maritime Administration approved the application (pdf<\/a>) for Enterprise\u2019s\u00a0Sea Port Oil<\/a> Terminal,\u00a0one of four proposed offshore oil export terminals, on Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to the application, the port will be\u00a0located offshore of Freeport, Texas. It will have 4.8 million barrels of storage capacity and add 2 million barrels per day to the U.S. oil export capacity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In its\u00a094-page decision (pdf<\/a>),\u00a0the Maritime Administration said that it had approved the application because\u00a0the construction and operation of the port is \u201cin the national interest\u00a0and consistent with other policy goals and objectives.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe construction and operation of the Port is in the national interest because the Project will benefit employment, economic growth, and U.S. energy infrastructure resilience and security,\u201d the administration wrote. \u201cThe Port will provide a reliable source of crude oil to U.S. allies in the event of market disruption and have a minimal impact on the availability and cost of crude oil in the U.S. domestic market.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes the usual protests:<\/p>\n

Protests broke out shortly after on the Gulf Coast, The Texas Tribune reported<\/a>, with climate activists condemning the move, and pointing to the fact that\u00a0President Joe Biden has prioritized issues such as climate change and clean energy incentives during his time in office. Biden has vowed to\u00a0cut carbon emissions by 50 percent by 2030.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This may actually be a quiet acknowledgement that green enrgy policies, although they may be viable in the future, are not there yet. Unless the administration wants an open revolt from Americans who can’t pay their fuel bills or afford to drive anywhere, it has to make some concessions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
