Gas Prices Reach New Highs After Holiday Weekend, And They’re Higher in Blue States
Of course, President Joe Biden and other Democrats are not completely to blame for the staggering increases. The demand created by economic re-openings has created an unstable oil market, and no politician is responsible for anyone’s holiday weekend travel plans.
However, the White House has done little to quell the concerns caused by widespread increases. Biden’s climate agenda involved cancelling the construction of the Keystone Pipeline on his first day in office, a move that eliminated thousands of oil jobs.
Biden also responded apathetically to the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack, which was compromised by a Russia-linked cybercriminal group back in May. The Houston-based pipeline carries oil to the Eastern U.S., and fears about the cyberattack prompted panic gas buying, driving up already-rising prices.
