In the Tank ep 336: Gas Prices Skyrocket, Energy Crisis Incoming?

The Heartland Institute's Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, Linnea Lueken, and the Center of the American Experiment’s Isaac Orr present episode 336 of the In The Tank Podcast, streamed LIVE as it is every Thursday at noon CT. On this episode, the ITT crew talks the rise in gas prices and the Biden Administration’s contradictory responses to the increases. From promoting green energy and recommending electric vehicles, to buying more oil from Saudi Arabia and touting increased oil production in the U.S., the Biden Administration seems to be scrambling.
