A trip to the gas pump has been hurting more and more over the past few months and there isn?t really an end in sight. We hear a lot of ideas floated around. The President has even told Oil companies to flat out lower their prices, which can be a problem when you look at a capitalistic economy.
While there?s been a lot of talk, there are consumers who are looking for action. They are looking around for a problem that needs just to be addressed. Iowa 1st District Congresswoman Ashley Hinson gives us her viewpoint on the situation in Washington and our fuel prices.
Congresswoman Hinson says that the Biden Administration may be calling on oil companies to find options, but they need not look any further than their policies from day one when it comes to the production of our own energy. Hinson says that the Administration has blocked many avenues of our own energy production.
Hinson says that the administration needs to not be dipping into our own reserves and begging from countries that do not necessarily like us much when we have options inside our own borders.
Hinson says that the administration has been so quick to go full throttle on their climate plans and push for electric vehicles, that they are causing a problem. They haven?t calculated the immediate impact of their goals.
Hinson says that while discussions have been had over biofuels policy with oil state lawmakers, she is also learning firsthand the effect President Biden?s policies are having on American workers in that industry.
Hinson calls on the administration to use our production capabilities to help us through this fuel price crunch.
