The costs of Joe Biden’s deliberate dismantling of America’s energy security are about to hit U.S. consumers hard again. The Saudis, Russians and other oil suppliers timed their production cut yesterday of 2 million barrels per day to the end of the irresponsible sell-off of our strategic petroleum reserve.

With less supply and demand for energy in Europe spiking as winter sets in, prices here are likely to rise further, possibly sharply. With the crushing burden of inflation already top-of-mind for American voters, the proverbial “buck” will rightly stop with an administration that has deliberately reduced domestic production of fossil fuels.

The question is will Team Biden reverse course before still more damage is done to our economy and people – or wait until it’s compelled to do so next year by an opposition with an electoral mandate to correct course?

This is Frank Gaffney.
