Sky-high gas prices are due to corporate greed, with an assist from Vladimir Putin. Inflation, and the Biden White House\u2019s war on carbon fuels, have nothing to do with it!<\/p>\n<p>This argument \u2014 the default from both the White House and national Dems \u2014 displays either a stunning economic ignorance or actual dishonesty. Gas prices (as the committee concedes in a memo released ahead of the hearing) aren\u2019t set by the leadership of oil companies but by the retailers who own 95% of gas stations.<\/p>\n<p>Those pump prices are based on local economic conditions.<strong> <\/strong>That\u2019s why they vary so much from place to place and why, when all other goods\u2019 prices are seeing massive inflation, they do as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>You know what word\u2019s missing entirely from that memo? That\u2019s right: <em>inflation. <\/em>Despite the fact that, per the latest data, gasoline-price inflation over the 12 months through February hit 38%.<strong> <\/strong>Indeed, it\u2019s a prime driver of our insanely high overall CPI inflation.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>The memo <em>does<\/em> mention Putin\u2019s Ukraine war \u2014 but conveniently skips the fact that gas prices were headed skyward long before Russian troops massed at the border, with the climb starting in late 2020 and really starting to take off in spring 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Funnily enough, that\u2019s only a few months after Joe Biden dumped $1.9 trillion in \u201cCOVID relief\u201d cash into the economy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Democrats\u2019 deflection from the real issue is only part of the problem. Political signaling plays a big role in how much energy companies invest in new projects and capacity: When the White House and Congress are both bashing producers, what energy company will take a risk on a new lease or pipeline?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s to say nothing of the overall Biden green agenda, which requires that we take carbon power offline with no affordable replacement on the horizon.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Committee member Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) said, \u201cNow it\u2019s time for Congress to alleviate the pain many Americans are feeling at the pump.\u201d\u00a0But all she and other Dems offer is this blame-<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> theater, when what the nation needs is a return to the policies that made it energy independent before Democrats took control of Washington.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
