Fox News’s Peter Doocy is back and he’s brought the receipts on energy to Jen Psaki.
Needless to say, she didn’t like that he pressed her on what’s the plan for laid off workers to get these fantastical “green” jobs that Biden and Kerry keep talking about (1/2) pic.twitter.com/czz45M9tXK

Doocy: “But there are people living paycheck to paycheck. There are now people out of jobs…It’s been 12 days since Gina McCarthy and John Kerry were here. It’s been 19 days since that EO, so what do those people who need money now — when do they get their green jobs?” (2/2) pic.twitter.com/IlRp9iYKlY

There was no plan. There was never any plan. Biden and his handlers never intended to put oilfield workers back to work in the green energy economy.
Guys who drive trucks, work with their hands, and work and live in flyover country are hated by Biden and the Democrat elite.
The plan was always to take the near six-figure jobs away from those Deplorables and leave them with nothing.
Nothing angers a Liberal from an elite university more than the idea that some blue collar schmo with an associates from a technical school makes more than they do with their fancy four-year degree from some prestigious university.
When oilfield jobs started hitting close to six-figures (or more in some cases), killing those jobs was to put those blue collar schmoes back in their place.
You’d think they’d hem and haw and try to pretend that they really do want to help the laid off oil workers just a little longe but they can’t contain their contempt.
I figure eventually Psaki will be asked this question enough times that she will snap and answer a question about those laid off oil workers with “fuck ’em.”
Time to start investing in plate steel, welding wire, and Komatsu.
Plate steel and Komatsu……lmao. (Dont forget concrete!). Can someone with more brain than me explain why all these oil companys dont just hold up both middle fingers and keep on keepin on?? Id really like to know

Try out the thought that several – usually well armed – U.S. Marshals with cease and desist and eviction notices arrive and tell them to stop ‘or else’ since the wells and drilling referred to are on leased ‘public owned’ federal lands.
Doesn’t matter if a subset of the Marshals might not agree with the orders, another subset of Marshals will.
How much oil money would it take to hire PMCs and a battalion of lawyers, Miles?
Yes, I know, scary thought. But these idiots are pushing their luck.
A bunch of the big oil companies are run by leftist fellow travelers, eager to appease their political masters. That’s why you have outfits like BP spouting green dogma.
Meanwhile, in today’s WSJ there was an article about an uptick in offshore wind activity. They specifically mentioned Cape Wind, a project to build a large wind farm off shore from Martha’s Vineyard island. Biden had specifically said that he was going to push for rapid approval of offshore wind projects.
I mentioned to my wife that this should create some very amusing heartburn for all the progressive millionaires who have vacation homes on Martha’s Vineyard. Her reply “yes — like John Kerry for example”. She reminded me that he was a very loud opponent of that project.
I wonder what his position will be now given that’s he’s supposed to be Biden’s “green czar”. Perhaps he’s contort himself into somehow opposing Cape Wind even now, in spite of his boss’s position. He’s certainly dishonest enough to want to try — but probably not smart enough to pull it off.
Interesting. As I understand it, Ted Drunkennedy nixed the original wind-farm proposal off Martha’s Vineyard.
Wonder if John Kerry will do the same.
Kerry’s problem is that he somehow has to appear to square such a decision with his supposed duties as chief green weenie.
Probably the same way he justifies his private jet: he’s important.
She is so far out of her league it isn’t funny. I love how she basically said ‘prove it’ to jobs lost and he did. Then she spent the next few minutes fumbling around and obfuscating.
“Green jobs” is the same tag line Jennifer Granholm used in Michigan while Obama and Co. were bailing out Banks and Billionaires and leaving working folks out to dry. Apparently all those ‘good paying union jobs’ are just waiting for a government grant to Solyndra 2.
Yeah, “Green Jobs”.
As in, hold your breath until your remains turn green, before dollar one materializes.
Bastards.
Doesn’t His Most Padishah Emperor, Barak I, have a palace (oops: estate) (oops: cottage) on MV?
Wonder what (((he))) will think of the windmills?
(((he)))?
Did you read the tagline at the top of this blog?
Reprimand accepted.
Gotta figure out a way make references to The Emperor, shimmer.
Clearly *that* did not work.
