Multiple energy experts blasted Vice resident Kamala Harris after she claimed Wednesday that the Biden administration has successfully reduced home heating and electricity prices.
"For working families, we have reduced heating and electricity bills so folks have more money in their pockets to buy things like schools supplies, replace the dishwasher or take a family vacation," the vice resident remarked during a speech in Maryland.
However, experts said the comments were inaccurate and noted that utility prices for most Americans have increased since resident Biden and Harris took office in January 2021. They also slammed Harris for being "completely out of touch" and appearing to mislead Americans on the administration's track record.
"I'm not aware of anywhere in the United States where electricity prices or heating prices have gone down," Steve Milloy, a senior legal fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "Energy prices generally have gone up. Oil prices, gas prices, everything."
"Right from the beginning, Joe Biden put a chill on energy production," Milloy continued. "He just discouraged it. So, there was less investment that went into it."

Families who actually pay their own energy bills know far more about the price of energy than some ditzy airhead who happened to become VP along with another ditzy airhead who happened to become P. Their combined IQ, I’m quite sure, is far less than room temperature.
Kamala is either lying or ignorant in the extreme. I suspect both.
So far.
Our winters seem to have been shifting lately, starting later and ending later.
It's +15F right now and headed for -8F tonight in northern NH.
