It may not surprise that Biden’s team is completely inept at dealing with rising gas prices. Jennifer Granholm Energy Secretary laughed at the idea of Americans dealing with rising prices. She claimed there was no way they could help and that it was entirely up to OPEC.
Even eleven Democratic senators called the Senators on it and demanded that they do something about it. Those senators likely realize that some of them are going to be in trouble come 2022 — if things continue along this path, with the Biden Administration doing nothing to help and everything to hurt on the issue.
Jen Psaki (White House Press Secretary) stated on Friday that the White House had not developed a plan to combat rising prices.

They have only done what they can: prostrate before OPEC, begged for more oil. Because OPEC pumping oil apparently doesn’t affect climate change, only American drilling and pumping does.
But then, Psaki said something that she probably shouldn’t have said and gave the game away.
During Friday’s press conference, Psaki stated that high energy prices are a reason to look into alternative sources of power.

“Our view is that the rise in gas prices over the long term makes an even stronger case for doubling down our investment and our focus on clean energy options so we are not relying on the fluctuations and OPEC and their willingness to put more supply and meet the demand in the market,” Psaki said.
In other words, if you’re suffering now, it’s because you really need to learn the lesson that green is the way to go.
So, this is why they’re acting like there’s nothing that they can do about the issue, that it’s out of their control, because they really want to use the rising prices as a cudgel to further their green dreams.
That’s more than a little disgusting, when we have more than ample gas and oil sources here, without having to rely upon other countries, or on unreliable and expensive green energy sources. If we’re willing to make use of those sources. But Biden has been anti-fossil fuels since he came in — cutting the Keystone XL pipeline permit, abandoning the oil-drilling Willow Project in Alaska, banning more oil and gas leases on federal lands. Biden has even considered removing the Line 5 pipeline, which is crucial for oil and natural gas transportation in the Midwest. He also revoked a Missouri permit.
Psaki then whines that people are upset about rising prices, “It’s become a political cudgel. It shouldn’t be.”

Um, yes, you’re the folks in office, you’re the folks with the horrible policies; Now you’re saying we can’t even complain about your failures and point a finger at you? This disaster is all on them.
