Rule number one. correlation does not equal causation. You are falling for that trap and believe the correlation of higher gas prices and Biden taking office equals causation. But even cursory research reveals that not to be true. First, there is common damn sense. When unemployment is at rates not seen since the Great Depression and millions of Americans are hunkered down in the homes because of Covid and millions more are working from home, well yeah, demand for gas is going to be pretty low. When restrictions start loosening, when people start getting out, taking vacations, going back to work at the office, and spending some of that money they have been saving, yeah, demand is going to go up. It is like "Du Huh". So that is the first part.
The second part is that there are no "wacko" environmental policies that Biden has implemented that would push gas prices upwards. Hell, document them, name them, just what policies are you speaking about? Is it the elimination of issuing permits on federal lands? I mean you did post a link to that, but what you ignored my previoius documentation, because you were so stupid as to post that link after my post, sgowing that a federal judge rescinded that ban and since then the Biden administration has been auctioning off those leases like Barretts auction's off cars.
But the one that really gets me, this cockamania bullshit about "energy independence".
You are entitled to your own opinion, you are not entitled to your own facts. The above is the FACTS. Read the numbers, if you can. May 2017, the almighty Trumpster is president. We imported 317 million barrels of oil. May 2021 with Biden, 265 million. December 2019, before Covid, Trump imported almost 284 million barrels. December 2021, coming out of Covid and before the newest variant, Biden imported 265 million. The whole energy independence bullshit is glaring proof of just how stupid, and gullible Trump supporters are.
