“I think over the past two years Americans have really been paying attention to the energy story in ways historically they would it. And it’s because we, outside of those who are in this policy space, generally— the general public— experiences the consequences or benefits of energy decisions be a cost. And we know that energy has made inflation worse, which remains at 40-year highs despite what the communication spin is coming from the White House, but also on gas prices. It continues to be 50 to 60% higher than it was depending on your point of comparison during the Trump administration.” — Mandy Gunasekara, former Chief-of-Staff to EPA Administrator Andrew Wheeler
