Biden admin is ‘completely out of touch with the realities faced by people trying to cope with high energy costs,’ energy expert tells Fox News Digital
Multiple energy experts blasted Vice President 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 president remarked during a speech in Maryland.
However, experts said the comments were inaccurate and noted that utility prices for most Americans have increased since President 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.”
