The left lies about Biden responsibility for gas prices

 Kevin Downy Jr.:

...

This is important. Biden wants to “end fossil fuel.” He said this during the 2020 presidential campaign on a day when his handlers taped up his Depends and let him out of the cellar.

So, of course, he is helping drive up the price. Meanwhile, Pete Buttgiggles is pimping electric cars. See the plan yet?

...

Here are some fast facts to throw at the pinko loons on Facebook who deny reality and embrace buffoonery. Expect them to ignore these truths like the “check engine” light on their Priuses.

1. The Biden administration tried to use a bogus, wildly inflated figure regarding carbon emissions to justify new rules and possibly laws on fossil fuel. A judge clown-slapped the administration for the Pinocchio tactic, causing a stall. The Biden administration claims this decision has somehow caused a cessation of work on no fewer than 18 federal oil and gas leases in New Mexico.
2. Biden hasn’t held an onshore lease sale in a full year. He is the first president in 20 years to NOT do this.
3. ConocoPhillips COULD drill 160,000 barrels per day in the National Petroleum Reserve of Alaska for the next 30 years, but the commies at the Center For American Progress pushed the Biden administration to stop the drilling.
4. Biden’s anti-fossil fuel gibberish hasn’t gone unnoticed. As one oil exec told Bloomberg, “Biden is signaling that his environmental goals trump energy security and consumer prices.” He continued, “that’s not lost on public companies or the banks they rely on.”
5. Even the lickspittles at Yahoo! Finance know that Biden is delaying drilling leases, and it’s hurting Americans trying to get to work.

Another problem would be the Uriah Heeps (not to be confused with Uriah Heep) in lefty media who blame Putin, Trump, and gas-thirsty moonbats for the rising price of oil. In this article, CNN claims that everyone and everything is guilty except the one guy who can make a difference: Gropey Joe Biden.

How Marxy are the clowns at the Center for American Progress? They JUST wrote an article “explaining” why the U.S. can’t “drill our way to energy independence,” completely ignoring that we WERE energy independent in 2019 for the first time in over 50 years under President Trump.

...

They are lying because they have seen the polls and know that voters are angry with Biden and the Democrats for pushing their climate kook policies and attempting to destroy the fossil fuel business.  They are raising the price on purpose and they could reduce the price if they would stop blocking drilling on federally controlled sites and stop encouraging banks and investors not to finance drilling.

Did Biden’s energy policy lead to high gas prices?

Carbon-neutral energy is decades away

That last line is one that the left ignores in the belief that if they can make things more painful for consumers they will hurry the science.  The reality is that it is going to hurry Democrats out of office.
