What? Did you somehow miss that huge climate bill, which drastically increased the subsidies for solar and other forms of energy independence?
It seems like the bickering is over the form of "BTUs". I myself would have been happier if the climate bill didn't prematurely end the consumer biomass subsidies (eg for wood stoves, etc). But your blanket characterization is a bit ridiculous.
What we're bickering about is the timeline.
Yes, there are definitely fundamental engineering constraints when it comes to renewable energy sources. Which is exactly why it makes sense to encourage tackling all of the low hanging fruit we can, rather than continuing to waste limited dinosaur juice out of convenience or inertia.
Politically, it's awfully hard to separate past government action and actions by mutually-acting companies, from current government policies. Biden got politically pinned with the price inflation that happened due to all the monetary inflation of the Trump administration. The brazen consumer price inflation that started happening a year+ ago seems to have been kicked off by a bunch of news articles announcing it, etc. The narrative about approving new drilling leases seems like it has nothing to do with current extraction rates, and everything to do with fossil fuel companies wanting to title up the public commons now, for use in the future.
Will. One day. Doesn’t today. Inflation is happening today.
Second, what immediate energy sources are you referring to, specifically? The main thing I've heard about is not approving new drilling permits on public land, which also won't have much immediate effect.
