The Biden created energy crisis

 Sen. John Barrasso:

In an unguarded moment during his recent trip to Japan, President Joe Biden gushed, "When it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition." His economic adviser also argued that the president’s energy transition “works better for families.”

The president has misdiagnosed what ails our energy economy. He is engaging in political malpractice.

The president is beholden to climate extremists, and his administration is using every tool available to block American energy production. His administration is forcing American families through an energy transition that has no credible economic or technological path forward. It is a bitter pill to swallow.
Struggling with the price of fuel

We are living with the painful results. Consumers are struggling with sky-high energy costs feeding 40-year high inflation. Americans are confronted with a new record-high gasoline price almost daily.

At these prices, the average family could pay about $4,800 this year for gasoline, a 70% increase over a year ago. That pain at the pump is about to get even worse. JPMorgan Chase & Co. forecasts gasoline prices will hit an average of $6.20 a gallon by summer’s end. That’s up from the Memorial Day average of about $4.60.

It is not just gasoline prices pummeling family budgets. The price of electricity is climbing rapidly. In March alone, the average residential price for electricity jumped 4.6% over February’s rate. This was much more than expected and suggests an unusually large annual increase.

Welcome to reality, Mr. President: Inflation has Americans worried

Although consumers pay more for electricity, the service they are getting is growing less reliable. A recent assessment by the North American Electric Reliability Corp. (NERC) reveals that more than half of the country is at an elevated risk or high risk of energy shortfalls this summer – shortfalls that could lead to blackouts and brownouts.

 Every time I pass a gas pump it is a reminder to vote against every Democrat on the ballot.  They caused this problem and they should pay a price for it.  Democrats have artificially reduced the supply of oil and gas in this country without creating a viable alternative.
