The Failure of Bidenomics, Part I
05 Mar 2022 Leave a comment
Joe Biden’s economic policy has been a disaster.
- He’s bad on the issues where Trump wasbad (spending and trade).
- He’s bad on the issues where Trump was good (most notably, taxes).
- And he’s bad on the issues where Trump had a mixedrecord (regulation).
Based on his track record as a long-time Senator, none of this is a surprise. According to vote ratings from the Club for Growth and National Taxpayers Union, Biden was to the left of even Crazy Bernie.
Unfortunately, a bad president (anyone remember Nixon?) can do a lot more damage than a bad senator.
Today is Part I of a series of columns analyzing Biden’s failure.
We’ll start with his so-called Build Back Better plan. Joe Biden didn’t explicitly mention “BBB” is his State of the Union address, but he did promote almost all of the specific policies that are in that…

Completely Clueless: How Idiots Hijacked Our Reliable & Affordable Energy Supplies

Death and taxes are guaranteed, so are rocketing power prices and power rationing once intermittent wind and solar are added to the grid.
Duplicating capital costs to destabilise and undermine a generating system that works, with one that only ‘works’ when the wind is blowing just right and the sun is shining in a cloudless sky, is just the beginning.
As a matter of mathematical certainty every single MW of wind or solar generating capacity has to be backed up with a MW of instantly dispatchable generating capacity from coal, gas, nuclear or (where available) hydro.
The cultists would add giant lithium batteries to that list. But batteries do not generate electricity, they store it and waste 20-30% of the energy that goes in in the transfer process. The cost is colossal; the amount of power stored and released is trivial, which is why mega-batteries are used at the margins…
