President Joe Biden adamantly condemned calls for loosening restrictions on domestic energy prices on Tuesday, arguing it would not help lower gas prices.
“Loosening environmental regulations or pulling back clean energy investment won’t — let me expand. Won’t. Will not lower energy prices for families,” he said during a speech at the White House announcing his decision to ban oil imports from Russia to punish Russian President Vladimir Putin for escalating his war in Ukraine.
Republicans excoriated the president’s efforts to restrict domestic oil production, as the average cost of gas reached record highs over the weekend.
The president argued for more electric cars and other policies promoted by the left’s Green New Deal as the solution.

“But transforming our economy to run on electric vehicles powered by clean energy with tax credits to help American families winterize their homes and use less energy — that will,” he said. “That will help.”
Biden spoke of a global consensus together with key leaders in Europe on reducing their use of oil, and said he was working with them on “long term strategies” to do so.
“They have to wean themselves off of Russian oil. It’s just not tenable,” he said.
Biden shared his dream of a future where Americans did not have to worry about the price of gas, if they pursued his “green” energy future.
“If we do what we can, it will mean that no one will have to worry about price of gas pump in the future,” he said, complaining that “tyrants like Putin” were “weaponizing” their natural resources.

“How are the regular people supposed to afford these expensive electric vehicles?”
They won’t need to. They will take public transportation.
Oh, I see. The supply of a product available in the marketplace has nothing to do with its price…unless some foreign guy that the Dems love to use as a convenient scapegoat cuts the supply and makes prices rise, thus making Dems look bad.
I guess I must have misunderstood, while I was majoring in Economics, how exactly the supply and demand for a product available to the marketplace at any given time determine the price of that product. Perhaps I was cutting class on the day when the prof explained that bit about the Dems. My bad.
How. HOW did this happen. My mother, bless her heart, loves this dribbling child groping monster. How are their so many like my own mother? Demons are real.
We don’t have the electric infrustructure to accommodate a full one for one swap of gas to electric vehicles. We don’t have enough power plants to do that, Elon Musk even said so.
Sorry but more windmills and mirrors are not going to get us there.
Liar?
Idiot is more appropriate to describe that fool.
Green New Deal propaganda. The Potato in Thief lies!
Evil.
Liar.
incompetent.
Demented.
Sock Puppet.
ABSOLUTELY unfit for the office.
Biden has been sniffing communist and criminal money for many years. Brain damage.
Buttigieg is a Red Diaper Baby, I.e.,a child of a well known MARXIST.
Also he’s been sniffing butts all his like. Gas makes you a crazy mini_Red.
Pulling that knife I stuck into your bicep will absolutely not stop your pain
Only if you let me rip your fingernails off will you be able to forget that your arm is bothering you.
Pump or plug....
Still going to cost a fortune. Use per
mile taxes on EV’s I can almost guarantee
will cost the same as gasoline, if not more.
I’m very curious as to how the mileage is
going to be monitored for reporting.
Probably thru the insurance companies which
means higher prices there also.
The POS needs to be impeached.
The problem here seems to be that we have a huge deficit of people, especially those in gov’t. & education, that are supposed to highly educated, but instead seem to be minimally educated.
Nope.
Ya gotta wait.
Biden apparently never took an economics class in college. Last time I checked, one of the very basics is that a decrease in supply causes an increase in price. We’re being governed by idiots with an agenda.
WHAT WHAT the hell is with this “electric cars” BS? Does this ass actually think every one can suddenly afford to get rid of their car and buy an electric one? And THIS is a priority when we are on the brink of nuclear war? Oh yeah I heard radiation is great for the environment!
And there you have his and the rest of the Democrats true motivations… Bankrupt us and force us into electric cars that suck.
I swear I heard Bill Hemmer use that term earlier this afternoon. Couldn’t believe it.
