Energy Secretary Lays Out ‘The Only Way’ To Avoid High Gas Prices, And It’s Not Producing More Oil
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said that “the only way” for the United States to avoid high gas prices is to produce more green energy.
The national average gas price is currently $4.94 per gallon, according to AAA. Earlier this month, gas prices surpassed $5.00 per gallon — more than double the $2.39 per gallon witnessed when President Joe Biden took office.
During a press briefing on Wednesday, Granholm affirmed that the “only way out” of “boom-and-bust cycles” in energy prices is “deploying clean energy.”
“The real truth is that as long as our nation remains overly reliant on oil and fossil fuels, we will feel these price shocks again,” Granholm said. “This is not going to be the last time. The next time there’s a war, the next time there’s a pandemic or another hurricane, these extreme weather events we are experiencing — they will impact the access that we have to fossil fuels.”- READ MORE
