Barack Obama stores gas at his property as prices surge

Former President Barack Obama, who is believed to be one of the brains behind Joe Biden has ordered three massive propane tanks for his Martha’s Vineyard property as energy prices nationwide continue to surge.

The office of the select board of Edgartown, Massachusetts, told The Daily Caller News Foundation that an application for an “underground propane installment was approved at the 79 Turkeyland Cove Road address,” the location of a property owned by former President Barack Obama. The tanks are to be used for “residential purposes”, the office told TheDCNF, and have a total capacity approved of “2,500 gallons which was broken into two 1,000-gallon tanks and one 500-gallon tank”.

Meanwhile, select board member Arthur Smadbeck told the MV Times, this was for the first time they had to give permission for installing propane tanks at a private property.

According to The Daily Caller News Foundation, although propane gas yields fewer carbon emissions than oil and coal, it is still considered a fossil fuel, and the massive installation at the Obama estate is not exactly environmentally friendly. Propane combustion produces numerous waste products such as particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, nitrous oxide, carbon monoxide, greenhouse gas, methane and non-methane overall organic carbon.

It further said, for the average American household, propane gas is increasingly becoming more expensive. Americans who use propane to heat their homes can expect to spend 54 percent more to run and maintain their homes due to increased energy prices, according to the US Energy Information Administration.

It may be mentioned here that, Barack Obama has consistently argued for the importance of fighting climate change and limiting fossil fuel emissions, saying that “no challenge poses a greater threat to our children, out planet, and future generations than climate change” and pledging to reduce greenhouse gar emissions by 26-28 percent below 2005 levels by 2025.

Last year, Obama spoke at the COP26 climate change summit, saying “our planet has been wounded by our actions”, specifically related to rising global temperature trends.

Barack Obama had earlier violated COVID restrictions as his multi-million-dollar home was the venue for his extravagant 475 guest during his 60th birthday.
