What has Brandon done to the price of diesel fuel?

I ran into this while looking for something else.

On his first day in office, President Biden launched what some see as an attack on fossil fuel through a major shift in energy policy. He cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline, that would carry more Canadian oil to refineries deeper in the US, and days later, stopped new oil and gas leases on federal land. As the opening salvo in a refocus on climate change, Scott Thuman reports it comes at a cost to an industry that's created jobs and energy independence.

Why don't you go to the oil companies that are owned by Sleepy Joe and ask them why deisel costs so much?

The beat part is. We produce more diesel than any other country.

Wow, what comeback. You really decimated all those pesky facts and figures with nothing more than cool wit and cognitive dissonance.

Anti... I would really love to buy you for what you're worth and sell you for what you think you're worth. What a markup!

Kaaa BOOOOM!

Absolute nonsense.

The op-ed claims:

1. Canceling drilling leases and limiting domestic production

Except that US production is at a near all-time high:


2. Choking regulations that impose big costs and lead to higher prices

Except that they have reported record profits:


3. Anti-energy rhetoric that discourages investment

Except that their stock values are through the roof, with futures about 50% higher than when Trump took office:


Literally every claim your op-ed made was easily proven to be false.

We've talked about this countless times. We know that the oil companies are gouging us "because they can." And we know that the Democrats tried to pass multiple bills to stop that, but the GOP shot them down.

What do you propose that the President should do to stop the gouging, if the GOP won't let the bill pass?

Short answer...

Nothing.

Because the President doesn't directly affect gas prices.
