Joe Biden has been advocating the merit of everybody owning an electrified vehicle. As we previously reported, he even argued that loosening the restrictions on oil production wasn’t the solution to rising gas prices or oil volatility from the Russian war on Ukraine, but people getting electric vehicles was.
Loosening environmental regulations won’t lower prices.
But, by converting our economy to be powered solely by electric vehicles and clean energy, we won’t have to worry too much about gasoline prices.
It will mean tyrants like Putin won’t be able to use fossil fuels as a weapon.
— President Biden (@POTUS) March 9, 2022
That comment was of course delusional – that it’s not possible to change – and for everyone to suddenly just to get electric vehicles, when so many are strapped just keeping up with Biden’s rising prices for everything, and electric vehicle are dependent on coal and fossil fuels.
These electric cars are powered by fossil fuel combustion plants and run on oil-based asphalt tires. https://t.co/18ypTnt5ef

Fox’s Peter Doocy had a great question for White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki when he was grilling her about Biden’s spin on inflation and gas prices. He asked how long did she think “temporary” inflation was going to last?
DOOCY TIME: “We just heard you say….you think inflation is going to be temporary. “We’ve just heard you speak. [that]Since last spring.
Psaki: “Well…what we do is…rely on the assessments of the [Fed]Furthermore, outside economists[.]” pic.twitter.com/UUCSmDBOzT

Psaki claimed they relied upon “experts” for always being wrong, and then she blamed Vladimir Putin again for having an impact on the record inflation numbers. As we noted earlier, the numbers that came out today had nothing to do with Putin’s invasion of Russia.
Doocy asked Psaki if they planned to withdraw Putin until the midterms.
Doocy 🔥🔥: “inflation goes up today. The President’s statement blames the #PutinPriceHike. Are you guys going to just start blaming Putin for everything until the midterms?”
Psaki: “Well, we’ve seen the price of gas go up at least $.75 since…Putin lined up troops[.]” pic.twitter.com/WcmfcQDSWL

The answer, of course, is yes — they’re going to try.
Doocy asked why their excuse has now shifted from the pandemic, when the commonality through it all has been Biden’s policies and his massive spending.
Doocy: “Last month, the statement did not mention of the #PutinPriceHike. Inflation b/c the pandemic was also mentioned. Why is that?”
Psaki: “Well…the last 2 yrs there was a global pandemic…Global economists have…agreed…that has been the biggest contributor to date.” pic.twitter.com/YcGds0nlUK

Psaki falsely claimed “experts” agree that the pandemic was the biggest contributor to inflation, deflecting from the excessive spending of the Biden Administration.
Psaki stated that they would not stop production restrictions and reach out to oil-producing firms to help them increase their output.
Doocy: Biden “has hosted electric vehicle stakeholders here at the White House. He could host oil and natural gas producers who will be the ones most directly affected by this. #PutinPriceHike?
Psaki: “Well…I have nothing to preview…in terms of him hosting oil companies executives.” pic.twitter.com/FAPagmLTiI

Even Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said, “Drill, baby, drill.” But that would help both American national security and Americans in general, with price drops. So, Biden doesn’t want to do it.
Biden expects that you will listen to him, but not his actions, as he did with the masks. Doocy asked Psaki a very important question. If Biden wanted everyone to own electric cars, then does he actually have one? It is known that he has a high-priced, gas-guzzling Corvette. Where’s the electric vehicle? Watch Psaki scramble: she didn’t expect that one.
Doocy: “You guys are pushing electric vehicles today….Does he own an electric vehicle?
Psaki: “Presidents…don’t do a lot of driving.”
Doocy: “He’s posted videos where he’s revving the engine of his Corvette in Wilmington. He owns cars.” pic.twitter.com/tU16Gb6dw3

Answer: he doesn’t own one because he’s still a hypocrite with ‘Rules for Thee, But Not for Me.’
By the way, with all this pushing of the electric vehicles, Biden leaves out China’s control of the lithium market. The WSJ reports that China is responsible for 75 percent of the manufacturing of lithium-ion batteries. So when you push EVs, you’re helping China. Also, when you’re talking about being free from Putin, then you can be obligated to China instead, if they have such control of that market. Is that energy independence? It’s just shifting dictators, maybe to one that Joe has a closer connection.
In another one of those interesting coincidences, the New York Times reported at the end of 2021 that the investment firm where Hunter Biden had been a founding member helped facilitate a Chinese company’s purchase of one of the world’s richest cobalt mines. The Times reports that the Chinese government financed the purchase. Cobalt plays a crucial role in the production of batteries for electric vehicles.
You’ll be able to say “hmm” when you see them.
A reporter asked another great question. What are you doing to reduce inflation pressures in the near term?
REPORTER – “Americans were awakened this morning by another set of headlines concerning inflation. Are you looking for short-term relief from the White House?

But the problem is that nothing she lists has brought inflation down because they aren’t addressing what is driving it up. Psaki responds, “A huge part of what we’ve done has had an impact already.” You can say that again, all bad, and that’s the real problem here.
