"Biden's Green Agenda Sparks Soaring Energy Prices and Inflation Woes"

Energy prices have surged by over a third since President Biden took office, with gasoline and housing costs driving a 0.4% increase in March, higher than expected. The pursuit of clean energy through increased government spending has been criticized as out of touch, as critics point to the Inflation Reduction Act's failure to alleviate rising prices. Despite commitments to clean energy, Biden has been forced to drain the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and seek increased oil production from OPEC nations to combat high fuel prices, while canceling a plan to replenish the reserve amid rising oil prices.
