25 Biden policies raising gas prices and other energy costs - Americans for Prosperity

These twenty-five Biden administration policies are affecting gas prices, home heating costs, and other energy-related burdens families face. Read more.

americansforprosperity.org

#1 and 2: Adopting new EPA oil and gas rules​

In November 2021, the Environmental Protection Agency announced new regulations governing methane emissions from oil and gas production, transmission, storage, and distribution that would cost more than $1 billion a year.

Last spring, Biden signed a resolution that overturned Trump administration reforms to EPA oil and gas rules. This resolution will worsen energy poverty, reestablish burdensome regulations, and have a disproportionate impact on small businesses.

#3, #4, #5, #6, #7, and #8: Restricting or impeding energy projects​

One of Biden’s first actions after taking office was to halt new oil and gas leases on federal lands and waters, the Biden administration has delayed decisions on these leases — a move that results in higher energy costs for the most vulnerable consumers.

The administration canceled the Keystone XL pipeline and suspended oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and New Mexico (despite opposition from the Navajo Nation). It also resurrected the “Waters of the United States” rule, which would increase barriers to energy projects.

The White House is pursuing new standards for particulate matter and ozone, likely tightening them to unachievable levels for much of the country and creating new barriers for energy project permits.

The president also has rescinded Endangered Species Act reforms, a move that will increase red tape and allow litigation to slow down energy projects.

#9: Rejoining the Paris agreement​

In April 2021, without the consent of Congress, Biden rejoined the Paris agreement, which will result in onerous new regulations that could raise energy costs.

#10: Appointing unaccountable energy regulators​

The president has created several bodies within the White House charged with creating new policies to regulate energy. The people who run these councils are unelected and do not need Senate confirmation, but they have been given broad powers to come up with new executive actions — which do not need consent from Congress — to regulate U.S. energy production.

#11: Forcing states to restrict driving​

One section of the recently enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, supported by the White House, would require every U.S. state to develop state carbon-reduction plans that must be approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation as well as be updated every four years.

These plans are aimed at reducing driving all over the country — even for people in rural areas where public transportation is limited, and driving is the only option.

#12, #13, and #14: Raising the prices of cars and trucks​

The Biden administration has failed to take adequate action on annual requirements and small refinery waivers for the Renewable Fuel Standard and in providing regulatory relief from this biofuel mandate due to economic hardship. His EPA has finalized a new rule regulating greenhouse gas emissions from cars and trucks. That single regulation could raise the average vehicle price by $1,000.

#15: Instituting a new policy on carbon taxes in organized wholesale electricity markets​

This carbon pricing policy statement, issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission in April 2021, is a blanket endorsement of top-down policies that have been demonstrated to be costly, ineffective, regressive, and consistently rejected by the American people.

#16: Raising the prices of common household necessities​

The EPA has issued a final rule to phase out a common, inexpensive refrigerant. This policy is a de facto tax on air conditioning and refrigeration.

#17: Stifling energy innovation​

In May 2021, Biden issued a sweeping executive order that mobilized federal agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, to enforce mandates on businesses, insurers, retirement funds, and suppliers. These policies will stifle innovation critical to improving the environment and will increase costs for a wide variety of businesses.

#18: Altering regulatory cost analyses​

The Biden administration has changed key inputs for economic and regulatory analysis, including raising the “social cost” of greenhouse gases. These policies will mask the true consumer cost of regulatory actions.

#19 and #20: Imposing new costs on power generation​

The administration attempted to resurrect an aggressive version of the Clean Power Plan for power sector mandates called the Clean Electricity Standard.

In the Fall 2021 Unified Agenda, the EPA stated their intention to propose what can be considered the Clean Power Plan 2.0. This policy would impose burdensome regulations but would have little or no environmental benefit.

The EPA also has mandated that even facilities with reduced emissions must remain on the list of “major” sources, subjecting these facilities to permitting burdens and higher costs.

#21: Impeding Americans exports​

The administration is considering potential restrictions on the export of crude oil that would increase, not decrease, energy prices.

#22 and #23: Raising taxes​

More than one-quarter of the administration-backed Build Back Better agenda is pulled directly from the “Green New Deal.” The Build Back Better agenda includes new taxes on natural gas and home heating. It also includes new taxes on petroleum and manufacturing.

#24: Picking energy winners and losers

The Build Back Better agenda would spend taxpayer dollars to push utilities to adopt more costly, politically preferred forms of energy, a move that would reduce Americans’ energy choices.

#25: Fueling the fire for future regulation​

Finally, through the Civilian Climate Corps, Build Back Better would fund the salaries of tens of thousands of anti-energy activists who would perpetuate high energy costs by demanding new and costly federal regulations and legislation.

Unlike releasing oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, these 25 steps are not just a “drop in the ocean.”

They have made, and will continue to make, a significant impact on Americans’ ability to afford the energy products that fuel their lives and livelihoods.

That must be why petroleum companies' profits and earnings have plummeted.

High compared to what? Most of those prices are under $3 a gallon. Under Biden today it’s $5. I think most Americans will take Trump’s $2.90 vs. Biden’s low $4.

I know I would too, under the choice. We have to look to the pandemic, Saudi decreasing amount of barrels, tramp tariffs, corp greed, the shipping costs, and the war.

[Dagosa]

100 gallons ? You can’t be real. The days and weeks he’s spent SAILING uses less fuel getting in and out harbors then you use commuting back and forth to work. 100 gallons is a month‘s and even a summers worth of use in a sailing yacht auxiliary just used for harbor work. You guys are crazy.

Hes saving fossil fuel by using a sailing yacht instead of driving cars continuously.

 

[Votto]

That must be why petroleum companies' profits and earnings have plummeted.

So it has nothing to do with the supply shortages due to government polices around the world regarding Covid?

So it has nothing to do with democrats saying oil prices would have to necessarily skyrocket during Obamas term or the fact that Biden has said he would declare war on fossil fuels and we would all be required to drive electric cars by 2030?

So none of hte massive spending the US has done influences inflation the least?

So it is a conspiracy between Putin and the oil companies to raise the prices you think?

Do tell.

Just saying, Republicans are full of crap.

Compared to what? The 1970s (at its highest, adjusted for inflation that was still only $2.31)?

At its peak during the Trump years, according to your own chart, the price per gallon was $2.987 (I used to live in California, I consider that low). CNN reported, on June 11th, the average price of a gallon of gas hit $5.004, that's an increase of $2.017 per gallon since May of 2018... but here's the thing, it went down from June 2018 until January of 2021 when it started to steadily rise.

Taking all of that into consideration, based on the very chart you provided, compared to what we've been paying since Biden took office, the price of gas was not "high throughout Trump admin.

Now, I like Trump probably less than you do, which is to say not at all (I was a lifelong registered Republican since I turned 18 and I loathe what he has done to the party), and I would never and have never voted for the man, but if you believe the prices we paid for gasoline during his tenure when compared to what we are currently paying (and for the purpose of this discussion, there is no reason to compare them to any other span of time), you are lying to yourself. You are lying to yourself and there is absolutely no reason anyone on the board should ever consider taking anything you post seriously. There is no reason for anyone to ever believe anything you post to be truthful.

If you believe the prices we paid for gasoline during Trumps tenure were high that means you will lie to yourself about anything the Biden administration says and does.

We have to look to the pandemic, Saudi decreasing amount of barrels, tramp tariffs, corp greed, the shipping costs, and the war.

Why?

You said that "gas was high throughout Trump admin." with no qualifications. None. There were factors throughout Trump's tenure that had an effect on gas prices just as there are now. If you can't acknowledge that fact, then you don't get the benefit from similar facts in defense of the feckless Joe Biden.

Really? Gas has more than doubled in price under xiden, you ignorant clod.

 

[Canon Shooter]

It just started going up after war in Ukraine, Iran and Saudi are pro Russia, and Saudi won't put out many barrels and they use to under tramp.

There hasn't been a single month since Biden took office in which the average price of gas went down.

Not one...
