Gas Prices

Rising consumer prices drove the annual U.S. inflation rate to a 40-year high for the 12 months ending in March of 2022, with gas prices being a key factor and hitting an all-time high.

High gas prices have revived a lot of debates. Some on the left argue that phasing out oil imports from other countries like Russia could lead the U.S. to rely less on fossil fuels overall and concentrate more on cleaner energy sources. Many on the right have called for the U.S. to shift to domestic oil production by resurrecting the Keystone XL pipeline project.
