Here Are The Times Democrats Pushed Policies That RAISE Energy Prices For Americans

Democrats have repeatedly pushed policies that lead to higher fossil fuel prices while advocating for a green transition away from such traditional sources of energy.

“We are going to get rid of fossil fuels,” President Joe Biden said in February 2020 while campaigning in New Hampshire.

Since taking office, Biden has repeatedly implemented policies that industry groups and Republican lawmakers have argued drive the price of energy up. The president has outlined plans to make the U.S. power grid carbon-free by 2035 and the entire economy net-zero by 2050.

Mere days after taking office in 2021, President Joe Biden signed an executive order pausing new oil and gas leases on federal lands and waters as part of his climate agenda. 

While a federal judge ordered the administration to halt the attempted ban in June, the Department of the Interior has dragged its feet and defied multiple court-ordered deadlines to restart the program. The Interior Department also chose not to appeal a recent ruling that prohibited an offshore drilling lease in the Gulf of Mexico the agency facilitated in the fall.
