CNN expert on gas prices: ‘Really smart strategy’ would be to ‘simply use less gasoline’
Thursday, a guest on CNN argued the solution to skyrocketing gas prices was to “simply use less gasoline and diesel.”
The CNN panel was discussing President Biden’s decision to tap into emergency federal oil reserves in an attempt to reduce the cost of gasoline. CNN host Ana Cabrera defended the president against “false” accusations from “the opposite party” saying his policies were hindering domestic oil production.
After she cited a poll blaming oil corporation’s greed as the real problem, Cabrera asked her guest if there was anything we could do to invest in more oil production.
Daniel Raimi, a fellow at Washington D.C.-based energy research group “Resources for the Future” told the CNN host that the problem wasn’t our supply, but consumer demand.
“In the longer term, the really smart strategy for the Biden administration or any future administration would be to attack this problem, not from the supply side, but rather from the demand side,” Raimi said.- READ MORE
