Biden’s hack Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm was asked today what her department was doing to encourage a decrease in high gas prices.

But she claimed there’s nothing that the energy department can do about it:

This is ridiculous and it’s a lie. The Biden energy department controls the permitting and leasing on federal lands and offshore for oil and gas. Both federal land and offshore production accounts for nearly 25% of all production in the US. If they want to to encourage a decrease in high gas prices, they can easily allow for more oil and gas leasing and permitting.
