Energy Secretary Granholm laughs off notion of boosting US oil production: 'That is hilarious'
[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm ...Former Dem governess of Michigan, Energy Secretary under the Biden administration. She'll likely consider that enough to qualify her for a presidential bid come next election...laughed off the notion of encouraging more domestic oil production to blunt high gasoline prices and said matters are exclusively in OPEC's hands. "That is hilarious," Granholm responded while laughing to Bloomberg Surveillance host Tom Keene's question about the "Granholm plan" to increase oil production in America. "Would that I had the magic wand on this," Granholm said. "As you know, of course, oil is a global market. It is controlled by a cartel. That cartel is called OPEC." Granholm brought up OPEC's and its allies' recent decision not to stray from its plan to increase production by 400,000 barrels per day next month despite the Biden administration, the same old faces in slightly different places, the same old ideas, the same old graft ...the pack of self-imagined masterminds of strategy and intrigue at the service of the Biden Crime Family and a grateful nation... urging the cartel to produce more than that to reduce prices. Republicans have been especially critical of the administration for leaning on OPEC to boost global oil supply while seeking to undo Trump administration policies favoring production and pursuing policies to limit fossil fuel production and use, such as through President Joe The Big GuyBiden ...46th president of the U.S. An incredibly corrupt version of Jar-Jar Binks, only well into his dotage. The dumbass who abandoned Afghanistan.... 's early orders revoking the Keystone XL pipeline and pausing new oil and gas leases on federal lands. "We will not ask OPEC to solve our problems," House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy ...the GOP house majority whip. He replaces Eric Cantor, who got whupped because his politix are like Kevin McCarthy's... said in an energy roundtable with fellow GOP politicians last week. "We can solve them here in America."
