Ben Cardin (D-MD) argued that changes in the price of gas are one reason why \u201cwe have to accelerate our program to get off of fossil fuels\u201d and control of the oil supply by other countries is \u201canother reason why we need to accelerate our efforts to get off of fossil fuels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cardin said, \u201cThe challenge, of course, is we have to transition off of the fossil fuels to renewable fuels. We need to do that for our economy. We need to do it for our environment. We need to do it for our national security and not to have these variants in the price of gasoline at the pump. So, for all of those reasons, we have to accelerate our program to get off of fossil fuels. And that leads us to what the Senate\u2019s going to be taking up when we come back, the balanced budget, the build back better budget that is \u2014 very much contains a commitment to the climate agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>He added, \u201cWell, the price of gasoline, the price of oil is very much dependent upon the global supply, and that\u2019s manipulated for price by countries that don\u2019t always have the same values that we have. So, that\u2019s another reason why we need to accelerate our efforts to get off of fossil fuels. Now, in the United States, we have a pretty decent supply, but the bottom line is that the global market is very much manipulated by the oil-producing states.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow <\/em><em>Ian&nbsp;Hanchett on Twitter&nbsp;<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/IanHanchett\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@IanHanchett<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday\u2019s broadcast of MSNBC\u2019s \u201cAlex Witt Reports,\u201d Sen.
