biden regime threatens to use "emergency war powers" if oil companies don't produce more gasoline. Really?

In his first two days in office biden crippled the U.S. oil industry, revoking drilling permits and halting lease auctions in federal waters and on federal lands.  Now, with gas prices at record levels, his moronic regime is desperate for a way to make voters forget those dumb decisions and convince 'em he's Doing Something to lower gas prices.

So last week the bidenfail regime sent a letter to all large U.S. oil companies, saying he's considering using his "emergency war powers" to increase gasoline production.

Porridgebrain's letter warned oil companies that “at a time of war, refinery profit margins well above normal being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable.”

Wow, did you know the U.S. was at WAR?  Me neither.  So naturally reporters pressed Porridge on this point:  "When did we go to war?  Did congress declare war and we just missed it?"  Nah, just kidding: no reporter said a word about biden's lie--which was evidently approved by dozens of sets of lackeys, since it was in a letter to all oil companies, and thus a pretty big deal.

The letter continued, “My administration is prepared to use all reasonable and appropriate...tools and emergency authorities to increase refinery capacity and output...and to ensure that every region of this country is appropriately supplied.”

“Your companies need to work with my Administration to bring forward concrete, near-term solutions that address the crisis and respect the critical equities of energy workers and fence-line communities,” said the letter.

Ah, "concrete, near-term solutions," eh?  One is strongly tempted to say "Here's a set of wrenches and a roll of blueprints.  Knock yourself out, asshole.  Clock starts now, and you should have that new refinery built in, say, ten years or so--assuming your own green supporters don't file suit to block construction.

And hey, you should tell your totally incompetent, sarcastic Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, that she's to supervise construction.  That should work well.  She can hire your corrupt crack-addict son, cuz Democrats seem to think Hunter is a real expert in energy from his years on the board of a Ukrainian gas company at a cool million dollars a year, eh?

Porridgebrain's letter blamed “Putin’s price hike” for record-high gas prices in the United States, ignoring the fact that gas prices began their steep climb the day biden was installed.

Porridge complained that oil companies were “blunting the impact of the historic actions” his administration had taken to bring down oil prices.

Wait..."historic actions to...bring DOWN oil prices"?  White House staff should try taking an econ course, because every single act Porridge has taken had the effect of reducing production.  And what does that cause, class?

Biden announced he had ordered his Secretary of Energy, Jennifer Granholm, to meet with oil company executives in the future, and “In advance of that I request that you provide concrete ideas that would address the immediate inventory, price, and refining capacity issues in the coming months — including transportation measures to get refined product to market,” he wrote.

Say, Brandon, we've got an "immediate, concrete idea" about how to get oil to refineries and refined product to consumers better and faster.  It's called a "pipeline."  Maybe your moronic staff should have learned about those gems before you cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline on your first day in office!

Granholm has rankled most Americans by repeatedly claiming the best solution to high gas prices is buying an expensive electric vehicle--something clearly impractical for most Americans who already own a newer gasoline-powered car or truck.

In a recent interview Granholm said “If you filled up your EV by charging and you filled up your gas tank with gasoline and you had the same sized tank, you would save $60 per fill-up by going electric rather than using gasoline.”

It's hard to figure out what Granholm meant by "the same-size tank" in an electric vehicle, but then she make dumb-ass statements like this ALL the time.  But if we take the average EV as having a range of 300 miles, so maybe ten gallons for a gasoline-powered car, at the current price of $5 per gallon that would cost about $50.  So perhaps Jenny was looking ahead to August when many experts think gas will be $6 per gallon.
