Energy in Depth: Widespread Pushback Against Political Theater of Gasoline Price Gouging Accusations

"Last week, Democrats in Congress announced upcoming legislation that would give the Federal Trade Commission and state attorneys general “increased authority” to investigate alleged gasoline price gouging. But the news was met with immediate pushback from the media, industry, and top government officials who state that price gouging claims have no basis in reality. Energy In Depth has extensively covered the issue, including the big, collective yawn in response to the New York Attorney General’s investigation and experts criticizing the accusation ahead of the House & Energy Commerce hearing last month. Now, even more leading voices are debunking this political theatre, which is mistakenly pointing fingers at energy companies rather than addressing the numerous policy barriers that hinder domestic energy production.
Washington Post: “Democratic leadership has also sought to blame oil companies for high gas prices, a growing concern for voters ahead of the midterm elections, despite no evidence of price gouging.”
Politico: “Never mind that the Biden administration has already called on the FTC to issue such a probe, and that previous gasoline price gouging investigations over recent decades have not found any wrongdoing.”

Biden is selling oil from the spr for 100 when it was bought at 40. Who is gouging who?
