The rise in gas prices has always been part of Biden's plans

[wing2000]

We've just seen the devastating effects of what one president and one administration can do to an industry. Unaccountable federal agencies can and have under Joe put enormous pressure on U.S. based corporations. You have to get past the spin to see what's going on. The administration was claiming a one time release of 60,000 barrels of oil from our reserve would lower gas prices. Yet with the Keystone XL there would have been roughly 800,000 barrels of oil EACH DAY, and that supposedly would have no effect on gas prices. With an accelerated national effort that pipeline could have been up and working some time this year. It's the restrictions they can put on the oil industry, tying them up in red tape, the U.S. corporations are ultimately beholding to their stockholders (so many Americans own them in retirement funds) and they can't justify starting new U.S. projects with Joe regularly tying up and attacking those American companies.

That's nice you believe all that.
Do you have any insight into the emergency powers the president is considering?

Mainly all the threads here filled with right wing talking points complaining that Biden isn't fixing gas prices.

No, we know he can't fix it. It doesn't look like he can fix anything. We are complaining about his part in contributing to it.

No President can "fix" the price of gasoline (but, they always get the blame).

And no one has yet to demonstrate Biden is "contributing" to the current surge in oil/gas prices.

The President owns it fair or not, this is true for every President and if you don't think Biden has contributed to the problem you have not been paying attention.

I am paying attention. How has he contributed to the current surge in oil prices?
Everything suggested in this thread to date would have no impact on the current price surge. The fact is, there are only a couple of countries in the world with excess supply...and they're exploiting the situation as most countries in a similar situation would.

18 pages in. We've figured out Biden has no control over gas prices right? Like....we've figured that out.

I've heard his continual stories about gas price increased discussed at the dinner table when he was a youth, and checked it out to see the truth for myself. And I've heard speech after speech indicating he wants to shut down the U.S. fossil fuel industry, and I see what he's done. Now we have an election coming up, the expected pitch is for him to say he will do everything possible to bring the price of gas down, that Republicans are White Supremacists who want to take away Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid who are attacking our children's education, are homophobic, transphobic, who want to stop people from voting while bringing back Jim Crow. I don't even think Joe calls all of the shots so no I don't pay any attention to reports of what he may be thinking.

We were one of those countries a year and a half ago

Truth.

Anyone remember this:

‘I’m not happy about it’: Dems torch Biden’s Russian pipeline deal

President Joe Biden is facing bipartisan backlash to his administration’s agreement with Germany that allows a controversial Russian natural-gas pipeline to be completed, arguing that the deal is a boon to Moscow at the expense of Ukraine.

Biden and his deputies have long been at odds with members of Congress on the pipeline, known as Nord Stream 2, with lawmakers overwhelmingly approving a slate of mandatory sanctions aimed at crippling the pipeline over geopolitical and environmental concerns.
​

Pipeline for Russia a good thing - Pipelines for the US - no.

White House says Biden still working to end fossil fuels: 'You can do both'

President Joe Biden has a stated goal of cutting economywide emissions 50%-52% by 2030 by reducing the use of fossil fuels and promoting green energy sources such as wind and solar. He also wants to see half of all new vehicles sold running solely on electricity by that date.

In the meantime, a gallon of gas has tipped over $5 on average for the first time in U.S. history while Biden is tapping the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, allowing 15% ethanol fuel to be sold this summer, and calling on Congress to approve "use it or lose it" legislation to force oil and gas companies to drill on their federal land leases.

Gas prices too high? It's all part of Biden's plan to eliminate fossil fuels

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.

Over the weekend, buyers paid $5 a gallon or roughly $100 bucks to fill the tank.

Gas prices have doubled since Biden took office. J.P. Morgan analysts predict $6 a gallon by August. And experts warn this crisis will continue even after Biden’s term ends because he’s dismantling fossil fuel production.

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.

Well that's disappointing.

 

[rambot]

Gas prices in America are some of the lowest in the developed world.

So if you're catching up to others, that's not biden's fault.

Of course you're NOT catching up to others, they are shooting up much higher as well.

 

[Always in His Presence]

What makes you think the US has to catch up on prices?

Who here has said that uncle joe can fix gas prices? Print the post here.....though something tells me you won't find one.......

 

[civilwarbuff]

That's nice you believe all that.

Do you? If not, you might want to read up on what a president can do under emergency powers......pretty much whatever he wants......far more than what the constitution grants him power to do.

Are you from the State of Denial?......cuz that is what we have been discussing the past....ohhhh.....now 18 pages. Try to keep up and not expect crib notes from people when you decide to participate.

I'm in a state of waiting for evidence that Biden is contributing to the global price surge in gasoline....

I don't think anyone is saying joe is effecting gas prices on a global level - but he sure is in the nation he is the ruler of. Post #1, #350, #351, #352

The post include a video of joe stating plainly he was going to stop fossil fuel production.

If you don't believe that, I cannot help you further.
