What a major disappointment the Joe Biden administration has been for the country as a whole, and the oil and gas industry in particular. The Biden administration is packed with far-left socialists. The Dept. of Energy is the latest repository. A few days ago DOE announced another round of appointments to important positions within the agency. Most of them have zero experience in the energy industry. Most of them are political operatives (i.e. hacks) who ran the Biden campaign in various states during last year’s election. It’s political patronage–nothing new about that (happens on both sides of the aisle). The problem is the great damage this bunch will do to oil and gas during their hopefully brief tenure.
