Wednesday\u2019s announcement came in unison with Biden firing off a letter to oil refining companies, demanding to know why they are not producing more fuel.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cHe\u2019s open to all reasonable uses of federal government\u2019s tools to increase output and lower cost at the pump, including emergency authorities like the Defense Production Act,\u201d Jean-Pierre confirmed to reporters.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The administration has claimed the lack of production is hurting its efforts to blunt the impact of the so-called \u201cPutin price hike\u201d at the pump. . In a letter to Exonn Mobil, Chevron and five other firms Wednesday, Biden said the companies must take immediate action to increase the gas and diesel supply. The President recently accused the oil companies of purposefully curbing supply to raise prices.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe letter is intended to solicit companies best ideas on how to increase capacity and how the government can help them do it in the spirit of honest and pragmatic dialogue,\u201d Jean-Pierre continued. \u201cBut we feel this is a good step for us to move forward, and hopefully we\u2019ll come and get some solutions.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Biden promised to end drilling &#038; enacted policies to restrict oil. <\/p>\n<p>But now he mails a letter to oil firms complaining they&#8217;re not drilling enough? <\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t just incoherence\u2060\u2014it&#8217;s chaos.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomCottonAR\/status\/1537068249531273218?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 15, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>America\u2019s refining capacity peaked in April of 2020 at just under 19 million barrels a day.
