NYT Reporter Asks for Raising Gas Prices on Middle Class to Cut Fossil Fuel Consumption

Paul Bois 31 Oct 2021

A New York Times reporter asked President Joe Biden to raise gasoline prices on middle-class people around the world to reduce carbon emissions and curtail climate change.

Speaking with reporters at the G-20 Summit on Sunday, Jim Tankersley of the New York Times asked the president if working-class people should “pay more” for gasoline in the pursuit of lowered fossil fuel consumption.

“On the question of oil prices, economists say that when you raise the price of something, people will consume less of it, so why not allow even middle-class people around the world to pay more for gasoline in the hope that they would consume fewer fossil fuels and emit less?” Tankersley asked.

From article

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm blamed the intense spike on OPEC and the pandemic.

“That oil market is controlled by a cartel,” Granholm said on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday. “That cartel is OPEC. OPEC controls more than 50% of the petroleum supply and more than 90% of the petroleum reserve.”

If the puke MTP has any real reporters on it, they would has asked Granholm that those are the same circumstances that the previous administration had as well yet we brought the price of gas way way down and had plenty of supply on our own.

And Granholm can easily be proved a liar by the US EIA in the amount of crude production produced by OPEC as it is less than 1/3, not "more than 50%" https://www.eia.gov/outlooks/steo/report/global_oil.php

Oh, and the EIA reports to Granholm, so she does not even know what her own people say.

Hope the idiot chokes on his "proposal" when his NYC taxi fares double and the cost of everything shipped into that cesspool double...ahole.

They seem intent on driving the middle class to abject poverty.
