President Biden Blames Russia And Oil Companies For High U.S. Gas Prices

 

Daily Mail: Biden blames COVID AND Putin for soaring gas prices, admits it's 'hard to tell' when they will go down and says Americans will save $80 a month if they buy an electric car as he unveils plan to reduce pain at the pumps 

* President Biden announced the release of 180 million barrels of oil over six month from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve later on Thursday 

* He said record high gas prices had two roots: the pandemic and Putin's war 

* He will also ask Congress to impose fees on oil and gas companies that lease federal land but are not using permits to produce energy 

* And he will use the Defense Production Act to accelerate switch to electric cars 

* The White House has been desperately looking at ways to lower fuel prices 

* Oil prices have surged since President Putin invaded Ukraine 

* At the start of the year the price of a gallon was about about $3.30, while today it is averaging about $4.22 

* It would be the largest release in the near 50-year history of the SPR 

President Joe Biden said Thursday that record gas prices were caused by the pandemic and Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine as he unveiled a two-pronged plan to increase supply and reduce demand. 

He announced he would release a million barrels of oil per day from the nation's strategic reserve for the next six months and accelerate the switch to electric vehicle.
