Americans should expect to pay higher costs to heat their homes this winter, Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said Sunday, a result of high gas prices caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

This is going to happen. It will be -- it will be more expensive this year than last year," Granholm told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union." "We are in a slightly beneficial position, well certainly relative to Europe, because their choke hold of natural gas is very significant. ... But we have the same problem in fuels that the supply chains have, which is that the oil and gas companies are not flipping the switch as quickly as the demand requires."

For pure, brass-plated gall there's little to match that one. Just who is keeping them from doing the job they did before the Biden administration came along to hamstring them? You don't break a horse's leg and then bitch at him for hobbling.

I have worked in the petroleum business for 35 years. In all that time, no one ever told me there was this magic switch that would instantly increase or decrease supply! What a maroon.

The energy companies aren’t “flipping the switch” fast enough?

What BS. Seed money for future production has been lowered by big investor players going green, plus the new regulations and drilling restrictions make “flipping the switch” impossible.

She’s a liar.

Or they can just “put on a sweater.” I guess Jenny doesn’t remember the disastrous Carter years. 🤣

I’m ready, willing and able to pay my fair share for heat.

The criminal conspiracy aka the Democratic Party owes me reparations.

It will probably have the most dramatic impact on the Democrat party’s most strident base voters, yet the morons will never connect the dots.

1. Killed the Keystone Pipeline. Even PM Trudeau was pissed.
2. Shut down new leasing on the North Slope and federal land.
3. Trying to shut down the Michigan pipeline from Canada.
4. Destroyed our internal supply chain.

But this has nothing to do with the price of energy so he tells us.

“Want cheaper and abundant energy?

Get rid of the Dept. of Energy.”

I agree.The DOE hasn’t created one watt of electricity or one gallon of gasoline or heating oil.

Its time to return to the oil companies and the free market to take control of our energy needs.

The government is making energy bills more expensive, on purpose.

So there’s that, that she didn’t mention.

The Biden Admin is full of people taking taxpayer money and doing nothing for it

Nonsense they are being paid off by our enemies to weaken us. Biden and this person shut down American oil production to hurt our citizens.

They are counting on us not to remember and not to react

The illegal immigrants in America won’t suffer this winter if they each receive $450,000 from the federal government. That should about cover their winter heating costs.
