Gas Prices Have Exploded Since Biden Entered Office

In the month since President Joe Biden entered the US presidential palace, gas prices have risen to an extent previously unseen since before the advent of the coronavirus pandemic.

Gas prices are up more than 10 cents a gallon nationwide in the last week alone. Some have pointed out increases in price that are even greater, with gas prices rising sixty cents a gallon in some areas of Texas since December.

AAA’s national average gas price is listed at $2.63 for a gallon of standard gasoline, increasing a full 25 cents per gallon since the day of Biden’s inauguration.

Biden ended the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, a pipe from Canada that would have allowed the flow of crude oil without a need for polluting trucks and freight trains.

Biden’s Department of Energy denied a request from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas to temporarily waive some environmental standards during the onset of the winter storm, preventing Texas’ oil infrastructure from producing enough fuel to keep the state’s homes heated and provided with electricity in the historic storm.

ERCOT and the Department of Energy failed Texas. NOT Cruz. #CruzFailedTexas

This development harms middle and working-class Americans the most, a constituency that Biden has pledged to secure economic relief for in a campaign promise he’s yet to deliver anything on. It’s likely that the price of gasoline will rise even more in the coming months, with Biden moving to enact green energy requirements even as working Americans are faced with unprecedented economic insecurity. The Democrat’s promises to Al Gore and the green energy lobby are more important than economic reality, it seems.

The vast majority of Americans don’t have the luxury of commuting to work on Amtrak rail everyday. Until Biden can actually deliver anything for the everyday American in terms of coronavirus relief, all he’s done is take money from their pocket during the coronavirus recession by ensuring an increase in gas prices.

Saudi reduced its output by 1M barrels per day a couple months ago to throw a bone to the smaller OPEC countries who were complaining about lack of revenue. I read recently there is 7M barrels per day in slack in OPEC. Saudi can crush the price of oil if it wants. Russia likely has considerable slack also.

I live about 60 miles south of Tampa in Florida.

Prices at the pump are up about 50 cents a gallon for gasoline. Diesel is 10 cents more than gasoline at one station.

Gas prices have not risen to anything Biden has done yet.
They were 2.75 gallon last Feb 2020.

The price will rise and stay up and Joey Demento et al will attack the oil industry as gougers as their only response. We’ve been here before.

Thank you. Your graph shows it best. Gas prices needed to come up. Companies were going bankrupt because they signed contracts and it was costing them more to get it out of the ground than it was selling for.
