For some of you this is repetitive and unnecessary BUT for the majority the following FACTS explain how this statement CAUSED prices to rise!
What commodity described in the below "guarantee" by being destroyed raise prices for over 6,000 products.
Petrochemicals derived from oil and natural gas make the manufacturing of over 6,000 everyday products and high-tech devices possible.
Major petrochemicals—including ethylene, propylene, acetylene, benzene, and toluene, as well as natural gas constituents like methane,
propane, and ethane—are the feedstock chemicals for the production of many of the items we use and depend on every day.
For example: P&G said it's raising prices to offset some cost pressures, including transportation, labor and commodities it uses to manufacture its products. The US producer price index, a gauge for prices manufacturers are paying, rose 9.7% annually.
And remember many of those items have to be transported to the supermarkets...by "fossil fuels"!
Our economy depends on trucks to deliver ten billion tons of virtually every commodity consumed—
over 80 percent of all freight transported annually in the U.S.
So when Biden (and Harris supports this policy ) "guaranteed" ... this was one of many reactions by the fossil fuel industry...
The CEO of Chevron, Mike Wirth's said..."You’re looking at committing capital 10 years out, that will need decades to offer a return for shareholders, in a policy environment where governments around the world are saying,‘We don’t want these products.’”
