Energy experts bash Kamala Harris over dubious energy price claim: 'Completely out of touch'
Fox News ^ | 2/23/23 | Thomas Catenacci

Posted on 02/24/2023 2:00:07 AM PST by Libloather

Multiple energy experts blasted Vice resident Kamala Harris after she claimed Wednesday that the Biden administration has successfully reduced home heating and electricity prices.

"For working families, we have reduced heating and electricity bills so folks have more money in their pockets to buy things like schools supplies, replace the dishwasher or take a family vacation," the vice resident remarked during a speech in Maryland.

However, experts said the comments were inaccurate and noted that utility prices for most Americans have increased since resident Biden and Harris took office in January 2021. They also slammed Harris for being "completely out of touch" and appearing to mislead Americans on the administration's track record.

"I'm not aware of anywhere in the United States where electricity prices or heating prices have gone down," Steve Milloy, a senior legal fellow at the Energy & Environment Legal Institute, told Fox News Digital in an interview. "Energy prices generally have gone up. Oil prices, gas prices, everything."

"Right from the beginning, Joe Biden put a chill on energy production," Milloy continued. "He just discouraged it. So, there was less investment that went into it."

**SNIP**

"Vice resident Harris’s claim that the Biden administration is bringing down electricity and heating bills shows that they are completely out of touch with the realities faced by people trying to cope with high energy costs," said Myron Ebell, the director of the Competitive Enterprise Institute's Center for Energy and Environment.

Heating bills are up 2X to 3X all over the country.

Only in Demtopia does 2X - 3X equal a “savings.”

Poor Kamala. She’s not smart enough to be a good liar.

If you can’t afford heating oil, gas, electricity, etc., then you are saving a ton of money. Take me for example, I saved a lot of money on a new 3/4 ton truck. There is no way I could justified spending $80K so I didn’t get one and saved all that money. As long as Biden’s pro-inflation policies are in place, I will continue to save.

LOL! You don't have to be an "energy expert" to realize she is ignorant.

All most folks have to do is look at their bill.

Our electricity rates have doubled.

Our heating oil has come down to almost double what it was before these criminals seized power.

The mild winter in the NE is the only thing that is saving many from a lot of hurt.

Can’t be true. These energy experts haven’t been on NBC/CBS/ABC/CNN/MSNBC.

Who writes this stuff for these brain-dead figureheads? This proves the complete ineptitude of those who occupy the White Basement..

Just the electric bills in CT went up 50% last year. Home heating oil and natural gas are way up too. Kamella has mush for brains. Just the cadence she uses makes her seem retarded.

$2.19 for a gallon of propane here in central Kansas. Never seen it that high before in my 62 years, not even close. Before Biden took office it was 89 cents per gallon. Thank God for firewood and a good woodstove.

“completely out of touch and appearing to mislead Americans on the administration’s track record”

That pretty much sums up the current administration.

Yesterday, LFS6B played a clip of Kamala speaking to a group where she said “exasperate” instead of “exacerbate”.
