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.

He’s not an idiot or an economic illiterate. He just hopes enough people are to swallow this BS.
“And why do they want to destroy America?”
Because they hate it!
It’s a grift.
Watermelon crap.
sorry for the size
Ha! The GOP needs to go to all the Dems in congress and ask do you agree with this? Then let the voters decide in November!
Hey Joe get someone that knows how to use a computer and get them search ,”things made from oil”, you might learn something
This is his modus operandi in govt all these years. He is a racist, too
You need fossil fuels to produce the fertilizers and pesticides used to grow your food. You cannot do it with electricity alone.
To farm, you need fossil fuel to power your equipment. You can’t do it with electricity.
To truck the product of the fields to a storage point requires fuel. You cannot do it with electricity.
To truck the product from a storage point to a processing point requires fuel. You cannot do it with electricity.
To take the processed raw material to a production plant requires fuel. You cannot do it with electricity To run the manufacturing plant? Electricity that comes mostly from non renewable sources
To supply the manufacturing plant with all the packaging and labeling it needs? You must have fossil fuels to produce and ship them.
To truck the food to the distribution center? Fossil fuel powered trucks?

How do we supply the electricity for the electric vehicle fleet we all “should be driving” to the store? Electricity that comes mostly from non renewable sources
They’re hoodwinking the entire country.
The “Bi Guy” gets 10%.
Enough states need to decertify to force the nullification of the 2020 election.
You need oil to make your EVs Joe
The man doesn’t understand even basic economics ... he has never had to work a real day in his life.
As if everyone else is too stupid to understand supply and demand……
This is not dementia.
This is not ignorance.
This is not simple gaslighting.
THIS IS MALEVOLENCE.
That’s really the bottom line. Once they get so many EV’s on the road, the price of electricity will skyrocket, the girds will go down due to the extreme loads, then they’ll quickly move from personal EVs to forced public transportation.
Limiting and restricting travel has always been one of the globalist top goals.
When is low IQ Joe going to build the electric grid to charge all of these vehicles?
And what will generate your imaginary electricity?
