The Wall Street Journal editorial board argued President Biden’s energy policy to lead the U.S. in a retreat from fossil fuels would ultimately be a gift to adversaries Russia and China.
In a Wednesday editorial, the board blasted Biden’s decision to suspend oil leases in Alaska’s Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), and wrote that countries like Russia, China and Iran would exploit the gap left by the U.S. as it transitions to a more climate-friendly policy.
“Mr. Biden’s anti-carbon fusillade will have no effect on the climate as global demand for fossil fuels will continue to increase for decades no matter what the U.S. does. Meantime, Russia, China and Iran will take advantage of America’s astonishing fossil-fuel retreat,” the board wrote.
