Dozens of Democratic climate warriors, whose policies drive up energy costs, beg regulators to get gas and electricity prices under control: Remember the feds' warning to Americans in the fall that heating bills could jump greatly this winter — by as much as 54%? Well, as the country has seen cold temperatures and serious snowfall over the last couple of weeks, liberal lawmakers are taking notice and demanding that something be done. The Wall Street Journal on Monday highlighted a letter in which 41 Democrat members of Congress — all of whom have repeatedly supported and advocated for onerous climate change policies that have a proven history of hiking energy prices — begged federal regulators at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to use their "power to influence retail rates for natural gas and electricity." As the Journal noted, these Democrats certainly have "chutzpah." These same left-wingers' party and political allies have repeatedly forced energy prices higher and have even said they want to make using fossil fuels more expensive — you know, to cut down on emissions. It was their standard-bearer, President Barack Obama, who admitted that his policies would force electricity prices to "necessarily skyrocket." He was more candid than many of today’s politicians and advocates. Limiting the use of fossil fuels requires making them more expensive and pushing people toward green alternatives that remain pricier and less efficient. In fact, as Bjørn Lomborg recently pointed out for the Journal, the left's "net zero" emissions dream is largely ineffectual when it comes to the climate but will cost "many trillions," as the soaring prices we see today are "only the beginning." Naturally, President Biden and his fellow climate fearmongers deny their policies have anything to do with rising energy prices. They, of course, claim energy companies are somehow manipulating the market. https://www.theblaze.com/furnace/democratic-climate-warriors-beg-regulators-gas-electricity-prices
