How would your budget be affected by a $2 increase in the cost of a gallon of gas? That’s the prospect millions of Americans are facing without even knowing. With the administration boycotting projects to ramp up domestic gasoline production at a time inventories are falling in the US and around the world, expensive prices at the pump will become our new reality, and our stations will face even higher risks of outages and prolonged shortages as fuel supplies continue to get hit from all sides. Continued below video
That’s what we’re going to expose in today’s video. There has never been another period in the 21st century where global and domestic fuel production faced so many cuts and disruptions as they do in 2023. Not only in America, but all over the world, inventories are rapidly falling, and there isn’t enough capacity to rebuild supplies and stabilize prices for consumers in the long run, a new report shows. In other words, we are going to be forced to cope with much higher gasoline prices due to a global shortage of fuels. But the bigger and most worrying threat is at home – with the administration planning to enforce regulations that ban gasoline-powered cars, prohibiting drilling in key areas, and canceling leases that would allow us to develop our own resources.
Democratic lawmakers and state agencies downplayed claims that the carbon tax would raise gas prices. They were lying the entire time – and they knew it. Now Washington has the highest gas prices in the nation. pic.twitter.com/2CwzPfn5v9

That is pushing US fuel reserves to the limit, and those decisions are being made at a time when demand is expected to continue rising, adding further pressure on the cost of a gallon of gas. At the same time, a big gasoline stockpile drop is making analysts sound the alarm about potential outages and shortages, especially after one single disruption caused by a heavy storm in Oklahoma this week left many stations without fuel, a scene that can be repeated in several other states that are prone to extreme weather events and are running low on fuel supplies. To make things worse, the administration is restricting gasoline production in a number of ways, and that will have major consequences in our lives in the short and long term.
“Inflation only rose by 4% compared to a year ago!”
Yeah, when prices were already up another *8.6%*, the 2nd highest annual increase in decades

According to a new analysis published by the Foundation for Economic Education, the US government has single-handedly made the gas crisis worse by closing the domestic supply chain, prohibiting drilling in key areas, and now canceling leases that would allow us to become completely independent from international suppliers. This action will halt the potential to drill for oil on over 1 million acres on the Cook Inlet in Alaska, which will be a devastating loss for those trying to increase the oil supply in the country. Not only did the government cut this lease, but they also stopped two other pending leases in the Gulf of Mexico claiming there were “conflicting court rulings that impacted work on these proposed lease sales.”

Our government is willing to throw our citizens under the bus so they can reach a false, net-zero emissions utopia. And the reality is that they want to give us smaller wages and be forced to pay over $5 for a gallon of gas in order to reach their goal. But we shouldn’t have to sacrifice lives to save the planet, and it’s time our politicians finally wake up to that.
The Biden Administration has waged war on the American oil and gas industry, driving energy prices through the roof, and precipitated historic inflation—and then they try to claim victory. It’s a disgrace. pic.twitter.com/rMj6E7vcPN
