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.

Yeah....because increasing supply would never lower prices or anything.
Obviously restoring energy independence wouldn’t enhance American national security either.
US Oil is just plain bad for the environment. Foreign oil however is good for the environment. Gaia approves.
Giving aid and comfort to our enemy.
Not publicly, anyway. Pain is fine for the American middle class now. They can always aim to relieve the pain in September and claim credit for it.
Long overdue to start calling greenies and those that support this immoral.

When is AF 1 going to transition to all-renewable energy?
Get those gas prices up to 10 bucks a gallon and they have about 35 democrats left in the house in 2022.
“What is the word for that?”
Democrat.
Pain is the purpose, never forget it.
This needs to be Verbally Pounded/Repeated into every Americans Ear, endlessly! Just like the RATS are presently moving right back into "Climate Change" Fear, immediately after the masks came off!!! It Never Ends!
“It’s a reminder that real energy security comes from reducing our dependence on fossil fuels,” Psaki wrote”
Get rectal cancer Psaki.
Liberal voters are deluded. No joke. Seriously delusional.
“Ballot harvesting has consequences.”
And ballot drop boxes.
“..we “must transition from fossil fuels..”
Who says “we must”? GFY.
Ha! Is this why she talks down to people as if they’re first graders? Because she knows the people who put any stock in what she says, are the stupid American populace that elected them.
Why use our own oil when we can be humiliated by foreign producers?
B@st@rd. Biden and son have skin in the game. Mark my words.
