Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm laughed off the notion of encouraging more domestic oil production to blunt high gasoline prices and said matters are exclusively in OPEC's hands.
"That is hilarious," Granholm responded while laughing to Bloomberg Surveillance host Tom Keene's question about the "Granholm plan" to increase oil production in America.
"Would that I had the magic wand on this," Granholm said. "As you know, of course, oil is a global market. It is controlled by a cartel. That cartel is called OPEC."

Granholm brought up OPEC's and its allies' recent decision not to stray from its plan to increase production by 400,000 barrels per day next month despite the Biden administration urging the cartel to produce more than that to reduce prices.
Republicans have been especially critical of the administration for leaning on OPEC to boost global oil supply while seeking to undo Trump administration policies favoring production and pursuing policies to limit fossil fuel production and use, such as through President Joe Biden's early orders revoking the Keystone XL pipeline and pausing new oil and gas leases on federal lands.
"We will not ask OPEC to solve our problems," House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy said in an energy roundtable with fellow GOP lawmakers last week. "We can solve them here in America."
The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate is well bribed by OPEC members.

Her arrogance, elitism and detachment from working folks is extraordinary.
You do have that Magic Wand.
It’s called Getting the F out of the Way
Stupid is as stupid votes.
So how does OPEC affect our ability to drill for more oil?
This woman is an idiot.
Her brain was “blown away” long ago.

We have a Transportation Secretary that doesn’t have a clue what to do about the ships piled up along the coast and an Energy Secretary who doesn’t have a clue about producing energy. Now recall that both of these clowns are on the line of succession to the presidency. And weep.
Really? Are you THAT stupid? Reinstate the Keystone Pipeline and get rid of the restrictions on federal oil leases and see what happens, you twit.
They live in their own world. Completely disconnected.
I’m sure Granholm can explain why oil & gas prices went up almost immediately as Biden shut down the Keystone. I’d be interested in her answer.
Maybe she could use the same “magic wand” that President Trump used to negotiate trade deals more favorable to the U.S. The one that Obama said didn’t exist.
Or as Joe said: “that’s not going to happen “......
