Gas Pains and Other Fossil-fuel Follies
Take the pain: Many Americans are complaining of the “pain at the pump” in the form of higher gas prices. This is a direct consequence of the Biden administration’s energy policy, and many on the left are saying, in effect, “deal with it.” (Photo credit: Fahroni/iStock/Getty Images Plus)
Item: “Americans are feeling pain at the pump,” noted CNN Business on October 8. Yet, said the left-wing news outlet — seeking to screen the Biden administration from blame — “there’s little the White House can do to shield them from it.”
The “highest oil and gasoline prices since 2014 are casting a shadow over the economic recovery from the Covid recession,” continued the report. “Energy sticker shock threatens to intensify the nation’s biggest inflation scare in more than a dozen years.”
Item: “The world is entering — indeed, much of it has already entered — a massive energy crunch,” according to the Washington Post’s Catherine Rampell in the October 12 print edition of the leftist paper. “Coal, natural gas, oil and gasoline prices have all spiked…. If this winter is severe, prices could well rise much further.”
