Biden blasted for erroneous climate policy post

President Biden was blasted by critics Friday for getting a major point wrong while trying to tout the success of his climate policies.

While trying to brag about the success of his administration, the 80-year-old commander-in-chief incorrectly prophesized that the country would pull most of its power from renewable energy by the end of the year — seven years ahead of the true projection.

“The Inflation Reduction Act is projected to help triple wind power and increase solar power eightfold, while electricity deployed through the U.S. power grid is expected to be powered by 81% clean energy by 2023,” Biden posted to X, formerly known as Twitter.

The tweet — which racked up over two million views — accompanied a picture of Biden posing for a selfie with an unidentified US energy worker.

The gaffe earned him a “community note” pointing out that officials don’t anticipate reaching that goal before 2030.

The fact-check also delivered a devastating blow: Biden himself mentioned the original date on the same platform just five days earlier when bragging about his administration’s “historic clean energy action.”

Under the 730-page Inflation Reduction Act — which the president recently admitted he regrets naming as such — commit $369 billion to environmental projects, including grants to renewable energy companies and tax breaks for consumers over the span of years.

The typo earned the 46th president plenty of ire from critics, many of whom couldn’t pass up the opportunity to critique Biden.

“Joe Biden doesn’t even realize it is currently 2023,” veteran Jesse Sweeney wrote.

“We’re in 2023 already, genius,” conservative user Rich Weinstein joked.

One X account said: “got caught lying again.”

“Joe Biden is a perfect example of the light being on, but no one’s home,” said another.

Former GOP New York US Senate candidate Paul Szypula took aim at Biden’s unnecessary selfie, as well as his administration’s energy policies.

“Biden is taking staged selfies like an egomaniac while he brags about ‘clean energy’ — meanwhile energy prices are through the roof. And there’s nothing clean about solar and wind energy. Their manufacturing creates a lot of pollution. They’re also inconsistent and unreliable,” he wrote.

Daniel Turner, founder of Republican environmentalism group Power the Future, added: “It is 2023. And we’re not at 81%. This makes zero sense so I guess you tweeted it yourself…”
