The State of the Union is Weaker Due to President Biden’s Energy Failures

March 8, 2024

Last night, President Biden gave his final State of the Union address before the 2024 election. During his partisan speech, Biden offered no new solutions to his energy failures. Instead, the American people were treated to more platitudes, with a blind eye to the Biden Administration’s past broken promises. During the remarks, the President failed to mention the so-called Inflation Reduction Act after the latest economic report showed inflation is still on the rise, with energy costs being a key driver.

“This last twelve months have provided even more failures to Joe Biden’s energy agenda and his refusal to acknowledge that fact tonight proves he’s intentionally lying to the American people,” said Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future. “A pathetic promise to saddle taxpayers with 20,000 members of his ‘Climate Corps’ are not going to lower prices on America’s working families. It’s telling that Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act is such a failure that it didn’t even get mentioned tonight. Joe Biden surrendered American energy independence and no amount of platitudes or media spin can hide that fact.”

During his State of the Union address in 2022, President Biden pledged to cut energy costs by $500 per family. Instead, American families are now paying more than $3600 extra for energy due to rising gasoline and electricity costs. Biden showed where his priorities were last night, and they are not with the American people.
