Alaska Gov. Dunleavy: Biden Can’t Say He’s Not Blocking Energy When We’ve Had to Sue to Drill
On Monday’s broadcast of Fox News Radio’s “Brian Kilmeade Show,” Alaska Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R) responded to the White House claiming it hasn’t blocked energy production by stating that his state has had to sue the Biden administration to increase oil production.
Dunleavy responded to White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki claiming that energy companies aren’t taking advantage of opportunities to drill and the federal government isn’t blocking energy exploration by saying, [relevant exchange begins around 1:08:45] “[W]hen you shut down the Keystone pipeline, when our oil plays are either being shut down by federal judges or slowboated by the very agencies that the Biden administration oversees, that kind of rings hollow. If you want to — if you really want to drive down the cost of energy, if you really want to save the environment, if you want to really ensure that we have national security — we take care of our national security, and Brian, just as importantly, if you truly believe in a new, green future of renewables, you can’t just turn off the spigots of oil and gas and expect the renewable age to magically appear. You’ve got to have a transition, and that means oil and gas. And you’ve got to have enough oil and gas to meet the demands of us and our allies so that we don’t get ourselves in another position like we see with the Ukraine and Russian war that’s happening.”
He continued, “So, her arguments — trust me, from — coming from an oil state, her arguments do ring hollow. Because we’re in several lawsuits against this government — this federal government to get oil production going.”

Report: Diesel Inches Towards $7 per Gallon in L.A.
Diesel fuel prices in at least one Los Angeles gas station are inching closer to $7.00 a gallon as sky-high gas prices have strained working-class families for weeks.
Fox news correspondent Matt Finn tweeted an image from a Los Angeles gas station on Friday, showing the cost of diesel at $6.89 per gallon. Regular gas was priced at $6.39, while plus and supreme prices were set at $6.59 and $6.79.
The diesel price exceeded both the Los Angeles-Long Beach metro-area averages and California averages on Sunday, calculated by the American Automobile Association (AAA). As of Sunday, the average price for a gallon of diesel in the L.A. and Long Beach area registered at $6.25 per gallon. A month ago, it averaged $5.04 a gallon. State-wide, diesel hovered around $6.25 per gallon Sunday.
Nationally, the price for a gallon of diesel averaged at $5.04, while a gallon of regular stood at about $4.25 per gallon, AAA reported. Both averages on Sunday were just cents lower than their all-time highs, which were both set on March 11 when diesel averaged 5.13 per gallon and regular hovered around $4.33 per gallon. March 11 was the fifth consecutive day that the price of regular gas broke the national record, Breitbart News noted.
A recent poll from Rasmussen Reports found that “81% of American Adults say rising gasoline prices are a serious problem for their personal budget, including 56% who say higher gas prices are a Very Serious problem.” Just 18 percent of Americans said they don’t consider the price increases a “serious problem.”
“Has the rising price of gasoline caused you to reduce spending on other purchases or activities,” the poll asked participants. Sixty-one percent of respondents said yes, while just thirty-five percent said no.
The poll sampled 1000 American adults from March 9-10 and has a margin of error of plus or minus three percentage points.
While the Biden administration has repeatedly blamed Russia for the sky-high prices, Americans have been holding the president responsible at the pump by posting stickers of the president captioned “I Did That!” at gas pumps throughout the country, Breitbart News reported.
