President Biden was criticized Friday for missing an important point while trying to tout the success of his climate policies.
While trying to boast about his administration’s success, the 80-year-old commander-in-chief incorrectly prophesied that the country would get most of its power from renewables by the end of the year, seven years ahead of the actual projection. .
“The Inflation Reduction Act is projected to help triple wind power and increase solar power eight-fold, while electricity deployed through the US power grid is expected to run at 81% efficiency. clean energy by 2023”, Biden posted in Xformerly known as Twitter.
The tweet, which racked up more than two million views, accompanied a photo of Biden posing for a selfie with an unidentified US energy worker.
The blunder earned him a “community note” noting that officials don’t expect to hit that goal before 2030.
Fact checking also dealt a devastating blow: Biden himself mentioned the original date on the same platform just five days earlier, when he was bragging about his administration’s “landmark clean energy move.”

Former Republican US Senate candidate for New York Paul Szypula took aim at Biden’s unnecessary selfie as well as his administration’s energy policies.
“Biden takes staged selfies like an egomaniac while boasting about ‘clean energy’; meanwhile, energy prices are through the roof. And there is nothing clean about solar and wind energy. Its manufacture generates a lot of pollution. They are also inconsistent and unreliable.” he wrote.
Daniel Turner, founder of the Republican environmental group Power the Future, added: “We are in 2023. And we are not at 81%. This doesn’t make any sense, so I’m assuming you tweeted it yourself…”
