As of Monday, the national gas price average <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/\">stood<\/a> at $4.246. What is more, the <a href=\"https:\/\/gasprices.aaa.com\/?state=CA\">average<\/a> is as high as $6.757 in some areas of California.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Similarly, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/08\/americans-roast-pete-buttigieg-for-promoting-electric-vehicles-amid-skyrocketing-gas-prices\/\"><span>came<\/span><\/a> under fire this month after promoting electric vehicles in the midst of rising gas prices:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">How many people have a spare $56,000 for an electric car?<\/p>\n<p>What about the charging costs?<\/p>\n<p>This is not a realistic solution. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pnAWmznwAP\">https:\/\/t.co\/pnAWmznwAP<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Lauren Boebert (@laurenboebert) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/laurenboebert\/status\/1501184461081350146?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 8, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Throughout it all, Biden has refused to take responsibility, blaming rising gas prices on a variety of entities, including Russia, even though prices were on the rise prior to its invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, DeSantis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/03\/12\/ron-desantis-biden-going-to-dictators-for-gas-imports\/\">blasted<\/a> Biden for groveling to dictators, asking for help:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Part of the reason the Americans are grappling with this situation, [DeSantis] said, is because \u201cthe Biden administration has had a policy of really kneecapping the American energy industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is based on ideology. They don\u2019t want us producing like we did under the Trump administration, so they\u2019ve done a series of things,\u201d he said, including shutting down the Keystone Pipeline. As a result, Americans are left with the \u201cchilling\u201d effect that this is \u201cnot an administration that is energy friendly.\u201d But rather than recognizing their policies\u2019 shortcomings, the Biden administration is trying to justify their actions and inexplicably \u201cgoing to Maduro\u201d and potentially to Iran.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSo you say you don\u2019t want to do with Putin because he\u2019s a dictator. Fine. I\u2019m all for that,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cBut then don\u2019t turn around and go to Maduro, who has committed all kinds of atrocities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Florida Gov.
