“I don’t have that number in front of me. I’m sorry,” she replied when asked about America’s daily oil consumption by CBS reporter Ed O’Keefe during the White House press briefing.
O’Keefe told Granholm the number was around 18 million and asked how Biden’s decision to release 50 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Oil Reserve would solve the problem of high gas prices.
Granholm said that Biden would release the oil from the Strategic Reserve over a period of weeks and that it would be “thoughtfully done” to lower prices.
She refused to detail a specific timeline for Americans to start experiencing lower gas prices, saying they were “hopeful” that it would help.
“I think people will start to see some tick down over the next bit…” she said.
She described the high gas prices as a “short-term pinch” while the Biden administration pursued more investments into clean energy.
“The situation shows we’ve got to stop relying on one source of energy, especially from volatile sources,” she said.
She said the administration was working to develop more green energy and promote electric vehicles so that America was no longer dependent on foreign oil.
“That is the best strategy long term to protect American consumers from these energy price shocks,” she said.

Maybe solar ☀️ powered cars? 🚗🚕🏎️
🙄🙄🙄
I want one of those new-fangled windmill cars!!!
Deep State doesn’t care.
It doesn’t hire the front office appearance types for brains.
That’s ok. Incompetence is the norm in the regime. Heels up hasn’t been to the border. Head of cdc doesn’t know how many employees have been stabbed there.
Let’s just say Granholm is so ill prepared, so devoid of ready data, that she almost makes the Vice President look good.
Another brilliant libtard in charge completely unqualified to even read a book 🤪
She’s as qualified to be energy secretary as Butthump is to be transportation secretary.
“so that America was no longer dependent on foreign oil.”
Gee, just 24 short months ago gas was under $2.00 and we were exporting oil.
What changed?
L
It's EASIER to WRECK the department you lead if you have ZERO EXPERTISE in that line of work, and that is EXACTLY why Biden appoints CLUELESS HACKS to head the various depts.
By the same logic Biden could cut our national debt by ordering a 50% force reduction for the armed services.
Oh, well, if it’s “thoughtfully done” that should overcome all the economic forces that would normally defeat Brandon’s idiotic energy policies.
It really reinforces one’s faith in central planning, doesn’t it?
The U.S. is STILL exporting oil, I believe. It’s the production of it that we’re doing much LESS of thanks to ByeDone.
50 million barrels [gallons?] is ~3 days use by the USA.
Pi$$ing into the wind, though the US may make a few Inflated Buck$.
Fifteen seconds on ‘startpage’ would have told her.
What a moron!!!
In January of this year, we weren't dependent on foreign oil.
