Make a note.

It's a global initiative by the G7 and eighty members of the UN, not the work of the POTUS and it's been evolving from many years prior. Furthermore, the green energy industry is responsible for trillions of dollars in research/development here in the US while growing despite the knuckle-draggers in our government trying everything possible to delay the inevitable. EV manufacturing alone has at least a half dozen new companies beyond Tesla to include Rivian, Fisker and Canoo. The US is a capitalist government and those who prospered heavily with carbon fuel can adapt to continue (as many are) or go the way of the dinosaurs. Invest wisely.

Perhaps, but the policies that were strongarmed into place by his administration from Day 1 certainly do.

Please elaborate.

Please elaborate.

One that springs to mind is Joe Biden's frequent attacks on the oil industry during his campaign, followed by his immediate cancellation of the XL pipeline and embrace of "green energy initiatives" in lieu of fossil fuels. We went from a net exporter of oil to returned dependence on imports within a year or two, and our gas prices are double what they were in 2021. If you are an investor planning to build or help build an oil refinery in the US (which most industry people agree we need several), you enter the project knowing that getting a refinery up and running would be a decade-long project, not some short-term project like building a house. But the overall gains---lowering the price of gasoline, fostering national self-sufficiency rather than depending on the whims of the Middle East---encourage those sorts of massive investments of time and capital. It also signals to our trade partners that we intend to continue investing in our leadership of the energy business. But if the President gives the impression that he will make it as difficult as he can for industry leaders to get permits, etc. for refineries and other projects, then it scares off a lot of investors who fear they will end up left holding the bag like the XL investors. If OPEC and their ilk see that we're not going to invest in our future energy needs, then they know they have us over a barrel (pardon the pun).

..and yet, in many speeches Biden has taken credit for lowering inflation and gas prices

Suddenly having no state income tax seems less of a bargain.

Yes. It use to be a good idea retirement / tax wise to move to Florida. Not any more. They will get that money somehow, you just cant win.
