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.

No, Jen, it’s a reminder that real energy security comes not depending on unreliable energy sources. Sources such as solar, wind, and imported oil/gas.

Biden can’t say what he had for breakfast. It’s nothing short of treasonous eldercare what the puppet masters behind that egotistical decaying meat puppet Joe Biden are doing to the world right now.

“Admitting Trump was right is not an option.”

Yep, aside from the fact the left always has one hand hidden behind their backs. In the hand they show you they are anti-petroleum. In the other behind their backs they are personally heavily invested in oil and are loving this huge income boost.

Funny how things can change on a dime in just over a year.

Ballot harvesting has consequences.

Good for them! They should reject this absurd idea. The People voted for high gas prices fair and square. Or acquiesced to them when , as meek as lambs they accepted the results of the Coup. To Wit} The replacing of President Trump, a decent and honest man with Lying Joe Biden. The Biggest liar and fraud in the history of the World. Probably for the first time history, the People are getting exactly what they voted for. Let them enjoy what they voted for. They earned it.

The redefinition gang has been busy last week. We now have three categories of energy.

#1 Oil

#2 Natural Gas

#3 Solid Fuel

The word "coal" now has been edited out of existence. Nuclear scare campaigns are going on right now and if needed the lefties in DC will stage a nuclear accident to head that off as future power generation.

Farmers depend on diesel powered tractors, combines and large trucks to plant and harvest crops. Fertilizers and pesticides are also petroleum based. Bidens energy policy will cause food prices to go up even more and lead to food shortages. Way to Brandon

Most revolutions do NOT work out well. Therefore, let us turn back to God and pray that HE save us. When He wants things to be corrected, they are corrected.

My dad frequently said in the years preceding his death that “People get the kind of government they deserve.” Man, was he correct.

I think it is odd or...telling...that the headline says "White House". Not "President Biden".

Which makes me doubt that Biden knows anything about it.

Someone should ask Brandon to release his strangle hold on our economy every day until his handlers realize what they have done.

Change the commodity in question and it sounds something like this:

“It’s a reminder that food security comes from reducing our dependence on beef,”

How dumb do you have to be to believe these people?

One question. Are liberals too stupid to connect the dots between a stupid potus and spiraling inflation, or are they still stuck on “No More Mean Tweets?”

More likely they are pressuring the domestic oil producers to kick 10% ‘to the big guy’.
