The national average gas price fell to $3.74 last week from more than $5 per gallon in the beginning of the Summer.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, Democrats are trying to tout this retreat as President Joe Biden\u2019s achievement on the campaign trail. However, US gas prices are still up 60 cents per gallon from a year ago, while the US National Petroleum Reserve has fallen to its lowest level since 1985. Additionally, economists have warned energy prices could surge again this Winter.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cThere is ripple effects and as the European industry shuts down, a good part of their industry will shut down this winter,\u201d said Christopher Wright, CEO of Liberty Energy. \u201cThat\u2019s inflationary effects across the industry. As Russia plays politics with cutting back oil exports we can see oil prices double from where they are today.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The world is in the worst energy crisis in 50 years due to natural gas shortages, and yet President Biden has reduced the amount of federal land available for oil and gas production by an astonishing 98% since Obama and 97% since Trump.
