One of the first things Joe Biden did upon taking office was kill the Keystone XL pipeline. For good measure, he also aggressively sought to limit new drilling permits, and despite some legal setbacks, Biden managed to reverse Trump’s progress in making the United States energy independent.
Under Trump, the United States became a net exporter of energy for the first time in decades. Now under Biden, we’re importing more oil again, and one of the key beneficiaries of our increasing dependence on foreign oil is Russia.
“U.S. oil imports from Saudi Arabia and Russia have increased, and gasoline prices are higher than they have been in the last five years,” reports Energy Now.
And much of that is because Biden killed the Keystone XL pipeline.
“[Keystone XL] was a missed opportunity to increase North American energy security, lower costs for American consumers and reduce dependence on foreign energy sources that are hostile to U.S. interests,” Frank Macchiarola, senior vice-president with the American Petroleum Institute, told Energy Now. “The Keystone XL pipeline would have provided good-paying union jobs to American workers while delivering affordable, reliable energy to American consumers from a close U.S. ally.”
Don’t forget about nearly 8% inflation and the potential trickel effects of higher gas prices. Further higher prices on goods at the market to offset transport costs.
RUSSIA !!!!
Because anyone with half a brain knows Biden, and the Deep State democrats funded and aided by Soro’s have been in cahoots with Russia all along. Then you had Pelosi trying to blame Trump who had nothing to do with it. WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!!!!!
