AP/Rich PedroncelliĪnother problem: EVs generally go about 200 miles on a charge and less in cold temperatures, per Consumer Reports. The Michigan senator brags about driving past gas stations in her EV, not caring how high prices are. But what’s the average family supposed to do, take out a mortgage to afford an electric vehicle? Electric cars are more expensive, but not always as reliable. That doesn’t matter to out-of-touch Democrat Debbie Stabenow. It’s one thing to choose electric vehicles. Soviet-style compulsion is another matter. EVs are about one-third more expensive than gas-powered cars. High gas prices will force us to make “good choices,” claims Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson. “The right long-term solution, for the sake of the planet, is not increasing the supply of fossil fuels.” It’s to compel consumers to switch to electric vehicles. Climate zealots in the Biden administration want high prices to deter the public from buying gas.īiden’s media toadies are singing the same song. In a congressional hearing the same week, Biden’s interior secretary, Deb Haaland, repeatedly declined to agree that gas prices are too high. “God willing, when it’s over,” we’ll be “less reliant on fossil fuels.” Biden appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on June 8, 2022. It’s sheer demagoguery.īiden confessed his actual plan just six weeks ago, when gas was already more than $4 a gallon. He marveled at the “incredible transition” of the US economy away from fossil fuels. President, that doesn’t pass the laugh test, even on late-night TV. “Why aren’t they drilling? Because they make more money not producing more oil.” He accused oil companies of deliberately “making things worse for American families.” Now, as outrage over gas prices pushes Biden’s poll numbers down, the president is trying to shift the blame. He told Jimmy Kimmel last week that oil producers refuse to expand operations. SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images President Biden shut down the Keystone Pipeline project early into his presidency. The price of fuel at a gas station in McLean, Virginia, reflects the record-high prices American motorists are seeing. That legislation hasn’t passed, but it sent a clear message. In the months that followed, he stopped all sales of leases to drill on federal lands or offshore, meaning zero new leases allowing oil to be brought out of the ground.Īnd in September, House Democrats introduced legislation to stop banks from lending money or investing capital for new or expanded fossil fuel production. On Day One as president, Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline, sending a message of no new pipelines anywhere, period. When Biden was running for president, he promised to shut down oil producers: “No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period.” He pledged to put the country on “an irreversible” path toward “doing away with” fossil fuels. And experts warn this crisis will continue even after Biden’s term ends because he’s dismantling fossil fuel production.
Morgan analysts predict $6 a gallon by August.
Gas prices have doubled since Biden took office. J.P. Over the weekend, buyers paid $5 a gallon or roughly $100 bucks to fill the tank. If you think gas prices are high now, just wait. They’re going much higher, thanks to President Biden’s “irreversible” plan to eliminate fossil fuels. Truth is, your pain at the pump is being planned and executed by the White House.
