White House Rejects Idea of Boosting Domestic Oil Production to Lower Gas Prices
Breitbart ^ | 7 Mar 2022 | CHARLIE SPIERING

Posted on 03/07/2022 6:44:23 AM PST by Mr. Mojo

The White House on Sunday rejected the argument that increasing domestic oil production would help lower gas prices, as the cost of oil moves toward record highs.

Crude oil prices rose as high as $130.50 a barrel on Sunday evening.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki released a set of talking points on social media, arguing against a focus on boosting oil production in the United States.

“It’s a reminder that real energy security comes from reducing our dependence on fossil fuels,” Psaki wrote, noting that Russia’s continued invasion of Ukraine was causing a spike in oil prices.

President Joe Biden’s administration is exploring diplomatic shifts with oil producing countries including Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, and Iran, as Russia’s latest Ukrainian offensive has disrupted oil markets.

But Psaki argued the only way to truly be free from high gas prices was to stop using oil.

Great questions—the Democrats are destroying national infrastructure.

They are the real enemies of America.

Biden (AOC) will only acquiesce when the money for the limos gas runs out.

The globalists have their Democrat puppets destroying the United States. As President Trump said, "it's not me they're after, it's you. I'm just in their way."

It's not a coincidence that Jao Bai-din and Hunter Biden were being investigated for corruption involving an energy company in Ukraine.

What overseas energy consortium is paying John Kerry to oppose U.S. energy companies?

What's John Kerry's connection to quashing a natural gas pipeline for Massachusetts so his handlers can bring in natural gas by tanker?

$9 for 2 gallons of gasoline now. We got almost 5 gallons of fuel when trump,Trump, president for that amount. Thanks obiden! Lets not give low,income earners any breaks now. Woildn4 want them to experience and ease and comfort now!

He will likely lower prices right around midterms- lower them like $.20, and the low,info voters will think it’s manna from heaven. Then he’ll raise them after midterms, and keep them high because he and his ilk want to force everyone off fossil fuels like,they forced people off cigarettes by making it so expensive only,the rich could afford it

We are the most ropserous nation on earth practically, and the left are hell bent on sending us right back to the stone age where everyone is miserable and everything needed for co Fortaleza life is scarce again. And liberal voters can’t get enough of the misery apparently

Their spokesperson came right out and declare that we “must transition from fossil fuels, and doing so,will necessarily be painful”

So the answer is that they are buttholes

It is incumbent to educate and inform the American people that the Biden cabal is destroying America’s domestic fossil fuel production, is directly responsible for high prices and energy shortages, and all the real poverty and misery that follows.

And in the meantime, the rest of the world, including the bad actors (Russia, China, etc.) are more than happy to use fossil fuels to their economic benefit, and they refuse to ruin their economies by forcing unworkable green energy policies down their peoples' throats. But the democrats are the smartest people in the room, and they'll make it work - at all cost.

So jen,

Does that also mean that the only way to stop Covid is to stop vaccination shots ?

Biden does not want to rely upon the ‘deplorables’ working in the USA oil industry to provide the oil we need.

Biden would rather rely upon his ‘friends’ in Iran, Venezuela, and Saudi Arabia to provide our oil.

I guess the solution to this crisis is for all of the ‘deplorables’ to ‘friend’ Biden and then all will be well.

Federal gas tax is 18.4 cents a gallon. If they changed the gas tax two 10 cents a gallon, one, they would have to find that money someplace else, and two, if I put 1000 gallons of gas in my car a year, I would save 8.4 cents a gallon or 84 dollars a year. That 84 bucks gets eaten up now on one food shopping trip and gas would still be over 4 bucks a gallon.

Biden and Obama campaigned in 2008 on $5 per gallon gasoline. The public elected them.

"We have elections. Elections have consequences. People are getting exactly what they asked for"

Kamala Harris, Vice President.

Who's the idiot? Harris or the voters?
