While San Francisco is seeing more than $5 a gallon, the state average for a gallon of regular gasoline in California is $4.94, a marked increase over the national average of $3.728.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been quite ugly as gas prices rise nationally, but nowhere has the pain been more significant than California, where prices have breached the $5 gallon mark,\u201d Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis for GasBuddy, told the outlet late last week.<\/p>\n<p>De Haan went on to warn that San Francisco\u2019s gas prices would hit $5.35 per gallon by the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>Fox Business also reported that \u201cthe United States and other major governments agreed to release 60 million barrels of crude from stockpiles to stabilize supplies, but it failed to calm anxiety over Russia\u2019s attack on Ukraine as oil prices still rose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>De Haan, however, was not convinced the release of barrels would do much to help stabilize gas prices, saying the loss of 10 million barrels a day of oil production \u201ccan\u2019t be offset by meager releases of oil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would likely need to be more like 100-200 million barrels to have much effect,\u201d he told Fox Business.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has struggled with inflation and rising gas prices, choosing not to use Republican solutions to fix the problems and instead doubling down on Democratic platitudes. The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/a-word-salad-of-bureaucratic-bs-democrats-say-to-fight-russia-buy-oil-from-iran\">reported<\/a> last week that corporate media pundits, Democratic politicians, and even Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg have suggested or been open to buying oil from Iran, a country that sponsors terrorists and refers to America as \u201cthe great Satan.\u201d From The Daily Wire:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cCould the president possibly consider authorizing the Keystone XL pipeline, working something out with Iran?\u201d MSNBC\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/watch-police-chief-corrects-msnbc-host-live-on-air-after-she-says-defunding-the-police-wont-hurt-law-enforcement\">Stephanie Ruhle<\/a>\u00a0asked Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg on Wednesday night\u2019s episode of \u201cThe 11<sup>th<\/sup>Hour.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cLook, the president has said that all options are on the table,\u201d replied Buttigieg, a former mayor of South Bend, Indiana. \u201cBut we also need to make sure we\u2019re not galloping after permanent solutions to immediate short-term problems,\u201d he said, possibly out of concern that reviving the U.S. energy sector may retard the Biden administration\u2019s attempt to force Americans into relying on renewable energy sources.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) responded to Buttigieg\u2019s response by calling it \u201ca word salad of bureaucratic BS,\u201d adding that the \u201cleft wing in Washington is doubling down on energy illiteracy instead of learning more about real energy security solutions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The idea of buying oil from Iran \u2013 rather than producing more oil at home like America did under the Trump administration \u2013 was also suggested by MSNBC\u2019s Chris Hayes, who said \u201cthis is one possible solution\u201d for those who wanted to cut off Russia\u2019s oil revenues and are \u201cworried about inflation and spiking oil prices,\u201d in response to a tweet from The American Prospect\u2019s Ryan Cooper, who tweeted: \u201cIran has 103 million barrels of oil loaded up on tankers and ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
