Biden* ponders more regulations on energy producers, gas prices reach new heights
Quote:Gas prices nationwide have skyrocketed even as the Biden administration considers new energy regulations, raising questions about the energy markets and the federal government’s role in protecting consumer costs.

In Manhattan, gas prices have hit nearly $5 per gallon, while more than 40 states are experiencing gas prices over $3 per gallon. GasBuddy reports the national average for gasoline is at $3.25 per gallon, well above the prices the same time last year.

Prices have risen nearly eight cents in the last month alone.

“Now in a single day, American drivers are paying over $400 million more for gas than they were last year,” the company said.

The Biden administration has been mulling additional oil and gas methane emissions regulations that would hit producers, and the states that rely on their tax revenue, particularly hard.

Industry insiders have laid the blame for rising energy costs at the feet of President Joe Biden, citing increased regulations.

“High gas prices are the direct result of supply and demand,” said Daniel Turner, executive director of the energy workers advocacy group, Power the Future. “The Biden administration made the supply the direct target of their assaults from the very first moments after his inauguration when he targeted the Keystone Pipeline. Since then, multiple regulations on fracking and land use, a weaponized EPA and Department of Interior, have all punished the production of fossil fuels. As a result, oil, gas, and coal, have all doubled in price.”

Among his first acts after being sworn in, Biden revoked federal permits for the Keystone Pipeline. The 1,700-mile pipeline was to span six U.S. states and carry about 800,000 barrels of oil a day from Alberta, Canada, to the Texas Gulf Coast, creating more than 10,000 U.S. jobs.

Others say COVID-19 hangups have contributed to the rise in energy costs as well.

Gas prices affect other consumer costs as well, making other goods more expensive, including food, the price of which has risen significantly this year. Transporting goods to market relies heavily on oil and gas, and when those costs rise, most goods become more expensive.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in September that the energy index rose 25% in the previous 12 months while the food index increased 3.7%.

“The high costs of fossil fuels are passed on to consumers,” Turner said. “That’s why gas is so expensive at the pump, but also durable goods, food, electricity, clothing. Expensive energy produces more expensive goods, and punishing the energy industry results in a de facto tax on America’s middle and working class who pays more just to live.”

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki defended the president’s role in the prices earlier this month, saying the White House was monitoring the situation, talking with OPEC and had taken steps to address it. She went on to say that climate change issues are more important.

“Certainly, we all want to keep gasoline prices low, but the threat of the crisis – the climate crisis – certainly can’t wait any longer,” she said.

Republicans have leveraged the heightened energy costs against Democrats. In many states, energy production jobs rank as a top campaign issue.

“Remember when Biden cancelled the Keystone pipeline on his first day?” said Ronna McDaniel, Chairwoman of the Republican National Committee. “Now Americans are paying the highest gas prices since 2014.”

Psaki: it is “unfair and absurd” for businesses to raise their prices so that consumers are the ones mitigating the effects of higher taxes.

Sounds about right. That was possibly the dumbest statement ever uttered by a Press Secretary.

This has to be intentional.

I see Psaki’s statement as proof positive Liberals simply don’t understand basic business principles. That’s why their tax and spend policies always fail.

I think it's both. What they are doing is intentional, and yes, they are that stupid.

BINGO.

The takedown of America being energy independent was fully intentional by the Biden* Administration. The pain of winter heating costs will drive the point home big time but does anyone really think Biden* gives a $h/t? Make no mistake - he will be warm no matter how bitter the cold is in Wash DC or Delaware. So will Congress and the Senate. But the U.S. citizens?? Let those peons suffer.

Their stupidity is NOT allowing the U.S. to be energy independent and create a much more robust economy as well. The climate change doomsayers must be glorified!!

So TOLERATE IT, America. Bundle up for the long, cold winter ahead. And keep paying those massive cost increases. BILLED BACK BETTER.

But please keep in mind....NO MEAN TWEETS!!

RE: Biden* ponders more regulations on energy producers, gas prices reach new heights
Where are the liberals on here stating that the president has no control over the price of gas? Whenever people credited Trump for low gas prices they screamed that he had nothing to do with it, it was entirely the result of the Wuflu. When prices started going up they again repeated their mantra. Are they some sort of industry insiders that are "more in the know" than Daniel Turner or others who are putting the blame on policies from the drooling pedophile?

They understand

They just don't care

And they believe if they message things correctly the American public is too stupid to understand the truth

By and large this is sadly true. Look how easy it was to get people to submit to fear.

That is why they always blame the messaging when something doesn't work

they’ll use fancy terminology like ‘leveling agent’ to justify the lithium they should’ve been prescribed long ago…
