[Tweet] White House officials exploring sending Americans rebates cards to offset gas costs ran into another problem — the chips shortage, which meant US couldn’t physically produce enough cards to make the plan work even if lawmakers tried to do it (archive.ph)

White House ideas to combat high gas prices include:

  • Sending rebate cards to drivers to help them pay at gas stations

  • Invoking the Defense Production Act to move diesel and other refined products if localized shortages happen

  • Historic release of nation's oil reserves

  • A letter to US refineries calling for more production and criticizing their profits

  • Prodding the world's oil producers and coordinating the release from national reserves with U.S. allies

  • Potentially telling governors to lower or waive their gas taxes

  • Suspending the Jones Act, which would reduce shipping costs and make it cheaper to get gas from the Gulf Coast to the Eastern Seabord

  • Imposing price controls and banning exports of U.S. energy

“Not only is there not an extant solution, but nobody thinks there’s going to be a compelling solution,” an outside economic adviser to the White House said. “They’re fighting about narrative rather than fighting about substance, because realistically, what are they going to do?”

realistically, what are they going to do?

Where do they find these experts that are so retarded? The best time was over a year ago, but the second best time is now to approve pipelines, remove green regulations and allow drilling everywhere. That's not going to happen of course because they intentionally created this energy crisis to spur a miraculous transition to wind and solar.

Business as usual.

Shills, bots, Leftoids, trolls, etc. Take your pick.

Off the table: more domestic production. You know, what will actually solve the problem.

And yet not a single attempt to actually improve production in house, the one thing that would genuinely solve the crisis.
