Chris Wright says ‘I don’t know’ when asked about lower cost of gas as average price soars to $4 a gallon in US
Chris Wright, the Trump administration’s energy secretary, acknowledged Sunday that it might not be until 2027 before US gas prices come back under $3 a gallon.
Asked by Jake Tapper, the CNN State of the Union host, when he thought “it’s realistic for Americans to expect the gas will go back to under $3 a gallon”, Wright replied: “I don’t know. That could happen later this year. That might not happen until next year.”
And they will stay above that if he has anything to do with it.
So never.
Typical gaslighting, everyone knows that it will never come back down, because they want everyone to take it up the rump for Trump by paying out their nose for everything.
Better for climate change to have gas prices rise more honestly.
Perhaps, but also people will just go into more debt or cut other expenses.
Why would they? The Strait is still closed right now, is it not?
Oil just jumped 7% in the past hour.
In a way this is good, so people won’t forget this issue before November.
by then $3 will be worth $1
Or ever. Every time prices on anything go up, they might go back down some when whatever excuse was given to jack them up goes away but they never go back to what they initially were.
The only savings grace to these high gas prices, is if they remain high till November then democrats will sweep midterms.
Yeah maybe, but if history is correct, if they dont fix everything in 6 months voters will throw the bums back in.
And the gas cos will be so proud of their record profits.
When it gets to 2027 they’ll manage to bring the price down, right in time for his third run.
I’m not sure he has the energy for such a thing, even if he makes it to the end of this term.
That is if dems take the congress and start impeachment and removal proceedings for all from the top down including the supreme court
