Also at the news conference, the U.S. President said he was confident the country could meet his administration's goal of emission cuts, which is 50 percent from 2005 by 2030. Yet, the president acknowledged that the renewable shift cannot happen overnight.

"On the surface, it seems like an irony," Biden said, referring to his call on OPEC+ to add more oil production while heading for COP26 to discuss the reduction of global emissions. "But the truth of the matter is ... everyone knows that idea that we're going to be able to move to renewable energy overnight ... it's just not rational."

While energy shortages have recently made headlines, the role of energy intensity and consumption targets in output decline should not be underestimated.

Lets go, energy shortages!

The message:

1. America is agreement incapable. Why bother to make agreements with you, when you just break them later if and when it suits you.

2. If you confront us on matters important to us, don't expect cooperation on other matters of importance to you.
