Gas prices reached a nationwide average of $4.60 per gallon on Thursday as they maintain an upward climb with record-setting prices each day for more than two weeks straight, according to AAA’s gas tracker. Diesel fuel, critical for tankers, trains, trucks, and farming machinery remained high at $5.53 per gallon, just 3 cents shy of its record of $5.57 set last week.
“[When] it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition,” President Joe Biden said in Japan on Monday. “When it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels.”
Biden’s animosity toward fossil fuels launched the day he took office with his cancellation of the Keystone XL Pipeline and an indefinite suspension of oil and gas leases on federal lands, which directly raises gas prices while leaving the power grid in jeopardy of blackouts.
