One of the continuing themes in my writing about President Joe Biden and his administration has had to do with the consistent inconsistency between the public statements from the President and his senior officials and the actions they take related to energy. This lack of consistency not only causes confusion within companies in the energy space, it has also resulted in diminished confidence in the U.S. legal and regulatory system.

Not surprisingly, this inconsistency between words and actions from Biden officials produced even more confusion in the energy space last week.
