Here is but a partial list of the policies that the Biden regime has enacted that lead to higher oil prices:
1. Stop the Keystone Pipeline from Canada
2. Stop drilling on Federal lands
3. Allow millions of illegal aliens into the country and those illegals consume oil products as they travel around the country.
a. These illegals are eating food and that causes farmers to grow more and thus use more energy.
b. These illegals need a place to live and that causes the homebuilders to build more living units and thus use more energy.
4. Impose new regulations that reduce supply of crude oil and natural gas.
And from a thread below this one—here is another policy hindering energy supply-—
“””The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued sweeping new guidance yesterday for natural gas projects, including a first-ever climate change threshold, upending decades of precedent for how major energy infrastructure is approved.”””
a. These illegals are eating food and that causes farmers to grow more and thus use more energy.
b. These illegals need a place to live and that causes the homebuilders to build more living units and thus use more energy.
Oil is a global market. Wouldn't these people travel, eat and live if they stayed in their home countries?
Why would them being in the US increase global oil consumption?
