Energy Sec. Jennifer Granholm seems to complicate the situation after President Joe Biden stated that we could do nothing regarding the rising gas prices. This scenario comes as normal with the mixed-up messaging in the government.
The Democrat Energy Secretary later beseech oil companies to produce more. Ironically, the president made it hard for oil companies to pump more oil, blaming himself for anti-policies.
Increase Demand for Domestic Oil
The administration has once again confounded everyone by saying something that contradicts the previous statement, opposed to what the president, which is to add more barrels to lessen how much per gallon, reported the Blaze.
According to sources, she begged for more oil pumped to have more fuel and push down gas prices from an all-time high. Fox Business reported this as typical of the current administration, per Fox Business.
The situation in Ukraine caused a series of gas price hikes as the Russian went into Donbas and Lugansk. This sent a domino effect that affected the US badly.
In several press conferences, several Biden officials went out to give their statements to the press that what Granholm said won't work. They added it has almost no effect to lessen the price per gallon.
She went on the record and told hundreds of energy execs at the CERAWeek by S&P Global conference in Houston, Texas.
Stressing that these oil producers need to add more barrels to the ones available now. Remarking the crisis is here, and it is needed more than ever.
Energy Sec. Jennifer Granholm connected the crisis to drive her point to the audience, who may have reservations about the situation, indicating they would drag their feet now.
It would be American families on edge, and added to it is the higher cost of fuel that drives the price of everything up.
Overall, Granholm's speech was a far different tone from others who said nothing couldn't be done. However, her public address might cause eyebrows rising in the Oval Office. This divergent view gave a stark contrast saying there is no hope to alleviate the suffering of the consumers.
Keystone Pipeline Would Not Affect Oil Prices
Last Tuesday, the president had a press meet and said simplistically that everything went up because of the Russian leader Vladimir Putin. The gas price goes up, and nothing could be done to stop it.
He often broke the bad news whenever it allegedly suited the Democrat's purpose, and only the government could help.
Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh spoke as well and told the press that higher prices were inevitable and that was it; accept what was happening. He then slipped in about shutting down the Keystone XL pipeline to slam the argument shut, cited NPR.
On a program inclined towards Democrats, he said that the Keystone did not affect the market last Wednesday on MSNBC. Singh made arguments to dispel the talk about the pipelines and the high gas prices; in effect, he calls it moot.
Brian Deese, the White House Director, defended the president's claims on another network inclined to the administration of CNBC. He repeated that the spurned New Green deal was the answer, and many allege the Dems want gas to be expensive.
The words of Energy Sec. Granholm contrasted with the administration creating an impression the Biden administration might want this oil crisis.
