Increasing oil drilling will not solve high gas prices unlike what the fossil fuel industry wants you to believe. Representative Sean Casten
Increasing oil drilling will not solve high gas prices, despite what the fossil fuel industry wants you to believe. Representative Sean Casten spoke about this topic recently andof his speech on Twitter. Rep. Casten pointed out how both the fossil fuel industry and conservative politicians are lying when they make the claim that increasing oil drilling will alleviate high gas prices. The solution for the US is domestic renewable energy and electric transport.
“1) Russia is a petrostate. Fossil fuels are funding Putin’s war crimes against the Ukrainian people. Fossil fuels are funding Putin’s assault on democracy. Fossil fuels are funding the demise of post–World War 2 stability in Europe. Putin’s power comes from fossil fuels and our world’s dependence on them.
“The truth is that there is only one long-term solution to stop funding oil-rich autocrats and insulate Americans from energy price inflation. Double down on our transition to cleaner, cheaper, domestically produced renewable energy efficiency. The horror that we are seeing in Ukraine makes it abundantly clear that clean energy isn’t just necessary to protect against climate devastation.
“Every day, we fail to reach an agreement on the baseline climate investments that were passed in the House is a day that Americans pay the price at the pumps and oil-rich autocrats profit.”I think that Rep. Casten is right that increasing oil drilling won’t help Americans at the pump. I also agreed with Elon Musk when he said that we needed to. And that has been done. However, in the long run, we need to double down, as Rep. Casten said, on renewables today.
