Biden to announce plan to lower gas prices



President Biden is expected to announce three steps to bring gas prices down across the United States.

The first step is the sale of 15 million barrels of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve

The White House says that distribution would meet his promise to release a total of 180 million barrels over six months.

He’s also expected to talk about shoring up reserves for the future and to call on oil and gas companies to pass on sky-high profits to consumers.

So far, they haven’t shown signs of wanting to do that.

“It’s difficult, you know, for people to deal with groceries, where the price is increasing, where the price of gas is increasing,” Wyoming Representative Liz Cheney said.

Experts say the White House is trying to highlight Biden’s actions ahead of the midterms.

  1. The only reason it’s legal to inflate gas prices on a struggling country, is because all the people in Washington that are shoving this green energy crap are heavily invested in petroleum companies. So they make millions while they punish the rest of us with overpriced fuel. VOTE THEASE PEOPLE OUT OF OFFICE.
    WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!

  2. He's draining the strategic petroleum reserve that Trump had filled to put a band-aid on his own mistakes that his policies have caused. He's such a pathetic excuse for a president.

  3. Just like everything this Administration AKA regime does they're so unqualified and incompetent they don't realize what a danger they're putting us in by keep dipping into our strategic Reserve just to get some political points and some votes for them

  4. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), Americans consumed 140.43 billion gallons of gasoline in 2015, or about 384.74 million gallons each day

  5. This is no different than Brandon's junkie son getting one artificial boost after another It cures nothing and the end is always the same, if only delayed a bit.

  6. Lowering the cost of oil isn't the problem…. it's keeping up with the production of gasoline. Kinda hard when producers of gasoline laid off their employees and now are running skeleton crews while making record profits for themselves and their shareholders. Just search for the oil exec telling cnbc host we aren't going hire more workers and produce more because they are beholden to their shareholders and they want to make money.

  7. Taking more out of our RESERVE! It’s at the lowest capacity for 40 years. It’s temporary. Will go up after midterms. Political stunt for elections. Prices will not go down until we become oil dependent AGAIN.

  8. It is called the Strategic Reserve because it is meant to be used in case of national emergencies i.e in situations where the normal flow of energy has been disturbed. It is not meant to subsidize people or reduce the impact of bad economic policy.

  9. Release means what we have saved if somthing happens to us. i.e. a bandaid. #2 why not just send all the stuff used in Afghanistan to ukraine. All we left it all for the taliban to use. Smart guy hes lookn to the future for more wars to spend money on. Good thing hes only gets this one term 😘

  10. The oil barons are showing us that petroleum shouldn’t be the product to rely on going forward, if it’s going to be the litmus test for outrageous gas and commodities prices!

  11. Our President is just a dumbass and you can't make this shii_ up. Just a temporary fix and the oil reserves won't last forever but just in time for midterm's and it puts us at risk of not having any in case we need to defend ourselves in case of a war. Plus we will hurt a lot worse if we do get in trouble and we will need to give up our fuel to supply the war time reserve's and that will cripple our Country. So vote for a republican in November and let's take a stand for our great Country.
    God Bless America 😂🙏.

  12. Biden didn't beg Saudi Arabia to increase production and apologize for calling the Prince a Pariah which angered the Prince, he begged them not to decrease production until after the election, WHAT A TOOL! HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ONLY THEIR VOTES! typical politician !!
