Former Keystone XL Pipeline worker Neal Crabtree criticized the Biden administration for its energy policies, which he said have led to U.S. dependence on foreign oil and record-high gas prices.
announced Tuesday that he was banning Russian oil and gas imports, which he said targets the"main artery of Russia’s economy."
Biden said the decision will further increase already-high domestic gas prices and warned fuel companies that it is"no time for profiteering or price gouging." He blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for rising gas prices in the U.S. White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the administration isn't against increasing domestic production and instead blamed oil companies."There are 9,000 approved drilling permits that are not being used, so the suggestion that we are not allowing companies to drill is inaccurate," she continued."I would suggest you ask the oil companies why they’re not using those if there’s a desire to drill more.
"When I’d first seen the reports of the president going to places like Iran and Venezuela to ask for more oil output, I said ‘this is fake news, he hasn’t gone this far off the rocker,’" Crabtree told Fox News."But I guess that's the path they want to take.""Why not invite North Korea?" he continued.
