"What is the government doing to lower gas prices?
In April, the Environmental Protection Agency suspended the requirement for pricier summer blends of gasoline. That allows for year-round sales of cheaper E15 gasoline, which contains a 15% ethanol blend. E15 is usually prohibited from June to September because of air quality concerns.
In late March, Biden also announced he was releasing a million barrels of oil a day from the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve over the next six months. According to the White House, the unprecedented withdrawal could lower gasoline prices between 10 to 35 cents a gallon.
But insiders say it probably wouldn't be much of a help in the long run.
"It will lower the oil price a little and encourage more demand," Scott Sheffield, chief executive of Texas oil company Pioneer Natural Resources, told The New York Times. "But it is still a Band-Aid on a significant shortfall of supply."
The White House continues to pressure US oil companies to increase drilling and production. Criticizing energy concerns for "sitting on" more than 12 million acres of federal land and 9,000 approved production permits, the administration would like companies to face fines if they leave wells leased from public lands unused.
There's the option of getting energy products from other sources. The US has been working at improving relations with Venezuela, which has been banned from selling oil to the US since 2018, and is negotiating another nuclear nonproliferation treaty with Iran, which would bring Iranian oil back onto the market."

The Biden administration isn't sitting on its hands...but the U.S. Oil Companies are...
expect people to infer what your point is by reading a link. So is your point that BVZ did not provide info on why gas prices are so high or is it that Biden is not sitting on its hands? If it’s the latter, then the key line in your article regarding what he is doing is this… “But insiders say it probably wouldn't be much of a help in the long run.”…

If you want to complain about long term reduction in gas prices...start writing to the Oil Company CEOa...Biden sure is ;-)..
btw, in your example, YOU ADMITTED that it was YOU who ADDED the "ER" reference, since I never said the event happened in an ER...again, where's your "Proof" that what I said did not happen? ...hint: it's not your opinion ;-).
Thus far, the only one we know of who has not told the truth...is YOU...imagine that.
And you know well had some non vaxxers "attacked" a medical facility in SF it'd be front page news. You lied about it. Or rather you made up a bullshit story.
And I lied where exactly? I think you're making up stories again.

in this case, you're saying to the board.."Fellas, this singular event...somewhere in America...was not reported on any news channel...therefore it COULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED...I rest my case."
btw, you did make up the "ER" part...right?...so don't continue to tarnish your credibility any further..
I think we're done here on this score...at least I am.
Just like the ER doctors you claimed to have related the story. You're a bullshitter.
Edit: to follow up, we're obviously not in a court of law so the same burden doesn't apply here. Bottom line something as egregious as you claimed would have gotten some play. You lied. Re: the ER claim, your fictional doctors were from the ER according to you story. It's only natural to extrapolate that it indeed happen in an emergency room setting.
At the end of the day you're a liar. It's not my rep you should be concerned with you puppy fucking pedophile. So GFYA....

And today, he pointed the finger at everyone else.
Libs on this very board said that the changeover the radical Greenies have planned "would be painful". They are right...wish it was for something meaningful.
people have such a choice. My frustration with Biden is many but he won't acknowledge that his own policies didn't help the current problems. He basically blamed Covid, Putin and Republicans for everything. Typical politician liar. He also got tongue tied on every sentence out of his mouth.
