An internal memo has revealed that the Biden Administration is halting senior administration officials from attending international conferences that promote oil, natural gas and coal.
“[President Joe Biden has] declared war on American energy independence,” Daniel Turner, founder and executive director of Power the Future, told One America News. “And this is proof of it.”
The September 15th memo was reportedly written by Department of Energy Deputy Secretary David Turk. In the memo, Turk breaks down travel restrictions and explained that officials must receive approval from the National Security Council before attending any global fossil fuel-oriented event.
“This guidance sets out a presumption that agencies and departments will pursue international energy engagement that advances clean energy projects,” Turk wrote in the memo.
“It’s really childish,” Turner said. “It’s very silly of the administration to continue to play these games and demonize an industry, which quite frankly does provide the ability for Biden to attend these other conferences.”
“Next month is COP28 (the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference),” Turner continued. “Several hundred, if not several thousand, Biden Administration officials will fly to Dubai for this conference. Forty-thousand people attended the one last year in Egypt. They’re all going to get on jets, right? They’re all going to have motorcades.”
