President Joe Biden vastly overpromised Americans that they can expect savings of $500 a month by transitioning to renewable energy, which the White House corrected by saying the savings would actually come over a year.
In a fumble during his speech on gas prices on Thursday, Biden touted rebate programs for consumers switching to green energy but incorrectly cast how much would be saved.
'If your home is powered by safer, cheaper, cleaner electricity like solar or heat pumps, you can save about $500 a month on average,' Biden said.
The White House corrected Biden's remark in a transcript, making clear he meant to say the savings he predicted would be over a year, not a month.
'His plan will help ensure that America creates millions of good-paying union jobs in clean, cutting-edge industries for generations to come,' the statement said
'And it will save American families money in the immediate future – including more than $950 a year in gas savings from taking advantage of electric vehicles, and an additional $500 a year from using clean electricity like solar and heat pumps to power their homes.'
Biden addressed the subject while announcing plans to order the release of 1 million barrels of oil per day from the strategic petroleum reserve for the next six months.
Biden is grappling with fallout from surging energy prices, including gasoline that has reached an average of $4.23 per gallon, after the United States banned imports of Russian oil and gas.

Yup! And I bet we can keep our own doctor, too!
See? And even THAT is a lie. The gas prices rose because Biden shut down domestic pipelines and drilling!
Wow, first he cured c9vid in like 3 days, then this. Buy a $50,000 electric car and save $500.
Is anyone else wondering why he would ever be allowed to propose, approve or be otherwise involved in any budget.

Peter Doocey now needs to follow up and get PINO Drooling Spoon to deny that he said that, putting further evidence on record that he needs to be taken out.
“Buy a $50,000 electric car and save $500 (a year).”
Did Biden mention what the payments are, on his $50,000 car?
Joe Biden
NOT THE PRESIDENT
Can't complain about not getting the message out.
We can save THOUSANDS a month if we get rid of Demonrats
BINGO!!!!!! How TRUE!!!
This is so sad for America, the left is really destroying our nation with the invasion from the south projected to be 2 million a year very soon, and the other insane policies.
How long can we survive before collapse?
Does Biden even know what month it is?
So all I have to do is pay $20,000 for a fossil free abode and I’ll save $500 a year...so in 40 years.........
That Old relic of a black hole has no concept of what $500 is. He stuffs so much money from so many illegal sources into his pockets.
The Moron in Chief doesn't understand that heat pumps consume electricity, they don't produce it.
Someone should tell him about free energy machines as a solution to our energy problems.
I’m not sure Brandon even knows what a month is.
Yeah I heard he said you will save 80 dollars a month with a electric car. But you need a charger at home. So you save in gas but your electric bill goes up. And the price of the car.
Thanks foreign press for reporting what the corrupt US press won’t.
