Energy Sec'y Granholm Laughs, Blames OPEC When Asked Her Plan to Increase Oil Production
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm burst out laughing when asked Friday on Bloomberg TV what her plan is to increase oil production in the United States to ease rising gas prices. | Clips

Another bizarre example of the Biden administration continuing to shift blame away from themselves to another entity. Granholm, the US Energy Secretary, acting as if she lacks any authority or any responsibility for the US to produce more oil. The US Government, as one example, unilaterally shutdown the Keystone pipeline project. Well if they can shut it down, Granholm could restart it if she wanted to. Granholm has no plan. The video clip ends there, but these interviewers need to press her on the fact that oil and gas production permits could be issued. So why aren't they being issued?Granholm laughed and said, “That is hilarious. Would that I had the magic wand on this. As you know, of course, oil is a global market. It is controlled by a cartel. That cartel is called OPEC. And they made a decision yesterday that they were not going to increase beyond what they were already planning.” (emphasis added)

A earlier prior post below for some added context.
This thread has evolved into aclimate changeglobal warming discussion. Biden, once again, demonstrated that he is tone death when it comes to his policies creating problems. Biden can essentially "solve" these problems by simply withdrawing those ridiculous policies.
Biden says he worries that cutting oil production too fast will hurt working people
President Biden said he's worried about soaring energy prices and says the world can't simply cut its use of fossil fuels — even as he heads to Glasgow for the U.N. climate summit.www.npr.org
So Biden, disables the ability of the US O&G industry to produce and then demands that other countries produce more oil. Biden has absolutely no sense of responsibility that he created the problem that he is demanding that others solve. Furthermore, by demanding that OPEC and Russia pump more oil, all that Biden has done is to transfer the negative environmental effects from the US to foreign countries. That does not accomplish the claimed objectives of the Glasgow climate change summit to reduce CO2 emissions. There is an actual possibility that pumping oil in a foreign country with less environmental controls and the need to transport the oil thousands of miles in tankers will lead to greater CO2 emissions!
