Please confirm for me.
Are you really saying that when Biden increased fees, regulations, and restrictions on the oil industry on the day he took office, while simultaneously removing millions of acres of land in the Alaskan wilderness and off shore in the Gulf of America and the Pacific as well as shutting down the construction of the Keystone and Dakota pipelines and putting new restraints on fracking for both oil and gas, these DID NOT cause the price of gas to immediately rise well before Putin invaded Ukraine?

Is that really the **** you're trying to spread like so much liberal fertilizer? 
Well, read this you gullible fool!:

Actions Taken by Biden Affecting Gas Prices
Key Policy Decisions

• Paused New Oil and Gas Leases: Biden's administration temporarily halted new oil and gas leasing on federal lands to review the previous administration's policies.
• Canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline: The cancellation of this pipeline, which was intended to transport crude oil from Canada to the U.S., was a significant decision that impacted future oil supply.

Regulatory Changes

• New EPA Regulations: The Environmental Protection Agency introduced new regulations on methane emissions from oil and gas production, which increased operational costs for energy producers.
• Increased Royalty Rates: The administration announced plans to raise royalty rates for onshore leases, making it more expensive for companies to extract oil.
