Reply to comment by Lower-Bad-4388 in ConEd is trying to raise gas + electric bills by $60 / month in 2023 - join a people's hearing to fight back! by MidnightCh1cken

Biden's energy policy has directly lead to increases but this isn't even entirely his fault -- its everyone over the last 20 years who have refused to build more nuclear plants to facilitate our ever growing energy needs. Renewabls are nice, and we should continue with that, but there's no way it will meet our needs alone.

Yeah it was Biden who told the domestics to produce less when oil went negative. Was Biden who told the Saudis we wouldn't trade weapons with them if they didn't lower output. Biden must have been part of the bargain struck with the Saudis to produce 1m less gallons a few weeks before the election.

Bidens responsible for world inflation too. Definitely responsible for the tariffs added in 2018 that effectively reduced supply just before covid.

Nuclear takes a decade or more to plan and build. On top of that you can say whatever you want about it being safe. The public perception will never agree with you. And in a way they're right.
