Bungling Biden tells families they can save $500 a MONTH by switching to renewable energy: White House issues a correction saying saving is over a year - which is still met with disbelief

Joe Biden had incorrectly promised Americans they could save $500 a month by switching their homes to renewable energy during his Thursday speech

The White House quickly published a correction that makes clear that Americans would actually save around $500 a year, not a month

Biden also announced the release of 180 million barrels of oil over six months from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

He said record high gas prices had two roots: the pandemic and Putin's war

=====================================================================================

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.

Well, it could have been worse. Biden could have said you’ll save $500 a day.

I thought it was 16 cents. And this year they can brag how we only have 16 cents to spend.

Six months from now gas prices will be even higher. Draining the strategic oil reserve is a shameless political ploy to save Dem seats. It’s bound to fail.

Regarding the release of oil from the SPR, we now learn that bribing voters with lower oil prices, which are high as a result of disastrous and insane domestic policy, is the sort of strategic move captured intended by the name of the “strategic” petroleum reserve. Biden should thank every Republican who put oil into it, that now allows Biden to make this not-at-all-blatantly-partisan strategic move. (While also crippling America’s actual strategic position in the event of another oil embargo.)

Well, over 4 years Bidinflation will cost you that 20k, about 5k/year in additional costs.

Good point....I wonder if auto insurance companies have written a loophole to get out of having to pay out on ev battery fires......or would it be homeowners insurance.

The only thing the senile imposter is good at calculating is his percentage take of the bribes paid to his son by foreign governments.

None of this stuff matters. Their ONLY goal was to remove Trump from office, and they succeeded. They do not care about Biden’s gaffes.
