Politifact: Claim that Biden's Keystone pipeline order drove gas prices up is rated "FALSE""

[Mac1958]

The independent Pulitzer winning website notes that the pipeline wasn't even operational, despite the fake news spread by Facebook right winger Ted Nugent.
Facebook flagged the fake news too.

You know it doesn't matter.

Consumed with BDS, they're going to just keep slinging mud. Ol' Joe will just keep working instead of tweeting like a desperate child.

New buildings are designed, as well as retrofits, to save as much energy as possible with LED lighting, energy efficient AC units and landscaping designed to use less water than is necessary.

...because the government gives tax credits to corporations for doing so.

You don't need FEDERA LAWS to force engineers and architects are doing everyday.

Yes. You do.

The state, county and city governments ARE helping with retrofits to more energy efficient products with tax breaks for the items and installations, they have been doing that for decades.

Then what the flying **** are you arguing and yelling in all caps at me about? You ****ing make an entire goddamn rant about "OhHHH big corporations do it themselves, nobody is helping them" then in the same goddamn post say "Yeah all governments across every state, county, city, municipality, and backyard give them money to do so but listen --!"

And surada who I usually respect even liked your hypocritical post that says "Corporations do it all by themselves, they love being green" then goes on to say "Because all governments across the world give tax breaks". lmao

No, the price of gas isn’t up 50 cents, price of food isn’t up 10% under Biden
IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT

• The average price of gas is about 34 cents per gallon higher since Biden took office.
• Experts say Biden’s orders on the Keystone pipeline and oil and gas leasing might affect future gas prices, but have no effect on current prices.
• Grocery store prices are 3.5% higher than they were one year ago and have risen less than 1% in 2021.

Are President Joe Biden’s executive orders so powerful that, in the less than two months he’s held office, they have spiked the price of gasoline by 50 cents and the price of food by 10%?
That’s the claim of a post widely shared by musician Ted Nugent and others on Facebook.
It says: "When executive orders cause gas to go up 50 cents a gallon and food costs to increase 10%, you just taxed the middle class."


The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.)
Biden began issuing executive orders on Jan. 20, the day of his inauguration. The claim we’re checking was posted March 7. Let’s see what’s happened in between.
Gas up 34 cents; orders not a factor
Since bottoming out at $1.87 a gallon in late April 2020, gas prices have mostly been going up. The bulk of the increase came under President Donald Trump, with prices continuing to rise under Biden.
Nationally, the average price of a gallon of gas was $2.46 on Jan. 18, the final weekly tally before Biden took office. It rose to $2.80 on March 1, the latest weekly tally before the Facebook post, according to the U.S. Energy Administration. That’s an increase of 34 cents under Biden.
The prices were similar at GasBuddy.com: $2.41 on Jan. 19 and $2.77 on March 7 — an increase of 36 cents.

Some critics have said that Biden’s cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline with one executive order would quickly result in higher gasoline prices. But we previously found that, for several reasons, that’s not the case. For starters, the pipeline wasn’t operating yet, so canceling it didn’t change the balance of supply and demand.
In the same executive order, Biden placed a moratorium on oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska. But Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy.com, said that action has not affected current gas prices either, because current oil supplies are not affected. The order could, however, have an impact on gas prices in a few years, he said.
In general, a president has limited control over the weekly and monthly shifts in gasoline prices. Gas prices depend mostly on global supply and demand.
The OPEC oil cartel and Russia have made voluntary production cuts, which has the effect of raising prices. A greater impact has been made on prices by demand, as a result of the slow but steady economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.

The fact that Keystone was not yet operational or in production has little bearing on gas prices going up. The fact that Biden KILLED Keystone with a pen sent a message to the global oil cartels that the US and the West made a step towards more dependence on them will naturally impact gas prices. How can they not go up?

It’s economics, not politics.

I didn't say that. Look in the Middle East in Europe.. There is a sea change. People want energy that is efficient and cleaner.

Don't you see the innovations in construction and landscaping even on the local level?

Keystone XL is a boondoggle... a tax dodge. It has been since it was announced in 2011. It benefits the Chinese and the Canadians, NOT the US consumer.

Most of the oil we import comes from Canada an Mexico NOT OPEC.

The only thing I "see" is that corporations have buried future energy for the past 70 years under a sludge of bribes, lobbying, and buying politicians. The only reason any of them lift a finger about it is because the government gives them money to do so. They don't care otherwise.

The entire Republican party is a corporate mouthpiece for big corporations and denies that climate change even exists. Like, are you kidding me right now? Corporations are the enemy.

People want energy that is efficient and cleaner.

Sure, a person does. You and me. And some other folks out there. But people? People want what is cheap and lazy and convenient. People won't give a shit until someone either forces them to give a shit, or mother nature literally kills all of us.

These stupid Moon Bats: "Adding $30/Barrel to the cost of Canadian oil didn't increase the price".

$30 a barrel going into the pocket of George Soros, Sugar Daddy of the despicable Democrat Party.

Yea these idiot are in their denial mode once again.

Reminds me of the filthy ass Obama Administration where they blamed all of Obama's failures on Bush and tried to take credit for Trump's successes.

"Mababydindunutin"

The idiotic Democrat Party has an agenda to do away with fossil fuels to kiss the ass of the demented Environmental Wackos and then they get power in the government they deny they had anything to do with price increases.

Interdasting!

Yeah, okay dude, hahahaha. Next you'll be saying Biden won the fraudulent election. XD Sad!

We were energy independent until illegitimate pedo joe took over.

You are shifting the argument. My premise is that killing the Keystone pipeline signaled greater dependence on global oil cartels. You can debate current imports all you want. Keystone was at a minimum, an indirect step towards less dependence on global oil cartels which is why the globalists wanted it killed and their bitches complied.
