castigating the energy sector and jen psakiy is still doing it. they used the energy sector as a scapegoat for the skyrocketing gas prices. bill: the answer is you take all the above an approach this. psaki was asked about it yesterday by peter doocy. it sounds like you guys are blaming putin for the increase in gas prices recently but weren t gas prices going up anyway? the increase and the continued increase what some of your colleagues were asking about, that s a direct result of the invasion of ukraine and also there was an anticipation of that, that was factored in as gas prices have gone up. bill: let s sort through the facts. we re coming out of the pandemic. demand goes up. gas prices were increasing. they have gone up even more since then. the white house seems to suggest there were permits out there all over america and drillers are choosing not to drill.
