So far Biden seems to be doing fine, although he has a political tin ear and really slow on optics. He should have made the point that for NOW and the short-term, it will have to be “drill baby drill” until we get through the immediate Russian induced price shock, while in the longer term continue the steady market-driven transition to renewables. He could win more votes now by telling those on the left fringes on his party to “stuff it” for now and focus on getting oil/ga to Europe from wherever we can. Any increased domestic supplies will take at least 6-9 months to come on line so increasing supplies from Venezuela et. al makes sense to help the Germans et. al. forego purchases from Russia
