Biden’s hack Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was asked today what her department was doing to encourage a decrease in high gas prices.

But she claimed there’s nothing that the energy department can do about it:

This is ridiculous and it’s a lie. The Biden energy department controls the permitting and leasing on federal lands and offshore for oil and gas. Both federal land and offshore production accounts for nearly 25% of all production in the US. If they want to to encourage a decrease in high gas prices, they can easily allow for more oil and gas leasing and permitting.

But we all know that Biden began his administration by putting the kibosh on new oil and gas leasing on federal lands and offshore. Because they want to get rid of fossil fuels and force Americans to buy expensive electric vehicles and pay higher costs for electricity. It’s really that simple.
