LONDON — U.S. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm has called on oil-producing nations to immediately increase crude supplies to mitigate the surging cost of living.

On Thursday, oil cartel OPEC and its allies agreed to continue with their current output plan, deciding against loosening the taps despite U.S. pressure to help cool the market.

Oil prices have recently hit their highest levels since 2014, and crude-importing countries are feeling the pain. It’s boosted gasoline prices and has added to surging inflation rates around the globe, with consumers already paying more due to supply bottlenecks in the economy.

Asked by CNBC about the U.S.’s relationship with Saudi Arabia, the de-facto leader of OPEC, after the output decision, Granholm said: “In some places, we have strong relationships and in some places we wish our allies would move a little faster.”

“The message is we need to increase supply at this moment so that people will not be hurt during the winter months,” she told CNBC’s Steve Sedgwick on Friday at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland.

President Joe Biden has squarely blamed the reluctance of OPEC and its allies, known as OPEC+, to pump more oil for the sharp rise in energy prices in the U.S. and around the world.

“The idea that Russia and Saudi Arabia and other major producers are not going to pump more oil so people can have gasoline to get to and from work, for example, is not right,” Biden said Sunday at the G-20 meeting in Rome.

OPEC+ decided to rollover its August plan to gradually increase oil production by 400,000 barrels per day each month. Ministers attending the meeting on Thursday said the group was maintaining market balance and remaining wary of potential changes in demand.

Several of the ministers also pointed to the skyrocketing prices of other commodities such as gas and coal to argue that oil markets are lucky to have OPEC+ regulating supply.

International oil benchmark Brent crude was trading at $80.80 per barrel at 7:30 a.m. ET on Friday, up 27 cents from the previous day.

Granholm was a trash governor of this state so no surprise she was picked by this administration to an important position

not a good look for the Biden admin

failing again and scrambling to save face

If only there were a way for the USA to be energy independent. I am sure that Brandon will figure out how soon enough.

Tearing down border wall while there’s the largest influx in history of illegal crossings? Honk honk

Pull military out of a war torn country without first extracting US citizens? Honk honk

Shut down means of domestic energy production while begging OPEC to increase supply? Honk Honk

Pay hundred of thousands of dollars to people who broke immigration law? Honk honk

The only thing more pathetic than this administration are the people who still support it.

If he was capable of staying awake during meetings maybe he would have been aware our existing energy pipeline was working.

Walking corpse folks

That's probably the scariest thing of all...

Another diversity hire that actual has no experience in the sector of the economy they were put in charge of.

No surprise yet again.

[GreatOldOne]

Back in my day we never asked OPEC to do anything

[FlipBrah]

Honk honk

And I remember libs here telling us that once the winter blend of gas comes in, prices will go down!!

I was curious what the administration's argument was going to be. Certainly it was going to be so persuasive that OPEC couldn't say no.


“The idea that Russia and Saudi Arabia and other major producers are not going to pump more oil so people can have gasoline to get to and from work, for example, is not right,” Biden said Sunday at the G-20 meeting in Rome.


Is "it's not right" the best he could come up with? That's a child's view of the world, not a president's.

It's almost like Biden doesn't care about climate change...

This reminds me of when Brandon told Russia not to hack our electrical grids and other important infrastructure. It's not fair to do that to another country.

How much more can this administration pander to the world and tell them that we are totally incompetent to even wipe our own butts? C'mon man.

[sooby]

absolutely pathetic

groveling at the knees of Saudi princes and Russian czars to pump more oil

At the very least it should be "we're not going to forget this" publicly, while playing hardball behind the scenes. Ukraine could use a nice US military base, right? Saudi Arabia loves American weapons, can't those be used as leverage? European nations need to start rounding up illegals from the Middle East and deporting them back by the tens of thousands. Then block them with a stiff hand. Then the OPEC nations get to deal with them as they migrate. The pussification of the West is what's deplorable.

Pretty sure we have plenty of production capacity here. Problem is Brandon is hostile to it, shut down further production on federal lands. Some of these lands are thick with crude. Also XL pipeline bringing crude to TX gulf coast from the oil sands in Canada. Now we gonna beg OPEC to ramp up production? The fail here is so extreme that it's a minor miracle.

[sy2502]

More oil production? What about the climate? new york will be under water by 2030!!!

Good riddance.

[yabbayabba]

Good riddance.

The problem is the rats always seem to escape the ship first and go elsewhere.

Democrats cutting production because of limousine liberal environmentalists.

Once again, the Democrats are showing that they're the party of the working man...

He doesn't want our oil production. His goal is to destroy the infrastructure of the country. They don't want to end oil, they want to end OUR oil.

This after Biden stopped the Keystone XL Pipeline which cut supply. Just lmao.
But Buttigieg adopted kids! And trans rights! The important chit.

Keystone XL would have been drops in a bucket as far as increasing supply goes. That you bizarrely pivot in your next sentence to scoff at trans rights and Pete's kids tells me everything I need to know about how tasty you find shallow right wing talking points.

We only stopped leasing new lands to drillers. They have tons of land they've already leased and haven't even started developing yet. Being able to lease more land now that they won't even start developing for several years won't do **** to today's oil prices.

Trump begged OPEC to increase production, and the drop in oil prices killed a ton of jobs in domestic production.
