Here’s few. There are actually more… a lot more. The Biden administration in the first week with great fanfare announced itself committed to enacting extreme green reforms, which by the very nature of rules and laws needed to achieve that, declared a de facto declared a war on energy independence.
Adopting new EPA oil and gas rules
November 2021: EPA puts out new regulations governing methane emissions from oil and gas production, transmission, storage, and distribution that will cost more than $1 billion a year.
In the Spring Biden signed a resolution that overturned Trump administration reforms to EPA oil and gas rules.
Restricting or impeding energy projects
One of Biden’s first actions after taking office was to halt new oil and gas leases on federal lands and waters
Biden administration has delayed decisions on these leases — a move that results in higher energy costs for the most vulnerable consumers.
Biden canceled the Keystone XL pipeline and suspended oil and gas leases in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and New Mexico (despite opposition from the Navajo Nation).
Resurrected the “Waters of the United States” rule, which would increase barriers to energy projects.
Currently changing standards for particulate matter and ozone, likely leasing to tightening them to unachievable levels for much of the country and creating new barriers for energy project permits.
Biden rescinded Endangered Species Act reforms, a move that will increased red tape and allow litigation to slow down energy projects.
Rejoined the Paris agreement
April 2021: without the consent of Congress, Biden rejoined the Paris agreement, the result being onerous new regulations that raise energy costs.
Appointment of unaccountable energy regulators
Biden created several bodies within the White House charged with creating new policies to regulate energy.
The people running these councils are unelected and do not need Senate confirmation, and yet have been given broad powers to come up with new executive actions — which do not need consent from Congress — to regulate U.S. energy production.
Forcing states to restrict driving
Recently enacted Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, supported by the White House, would require every U.S. state to develop state carbon-reduction plans that must be approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation as well as be updated every four years.
These plans are aimed at reducing driving all over the country — to include people in rural areas where public transportation is limited, and driving is the only option.
Instituting a new policy on carbon taxes in organized wholesale electricity markets
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission released this policy April of 2021 and is a blanket endorsement of top-down policies that have been demonstrated to be costly, ineffective, regressive, and consistently rejected by the American people.
Stifling energy innovation
In May 2021, Biden issued a sweeping executive order that mobilized federal agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, to enforce mandates on businesses, insurers, retirement funds, and suppliers.
These policies will stifle innovation critical to improving the environment and will increase costs for a wide variety of businesses.
Yes, I am willing to accept that Putin contributed to the latest 75 cent increase, but the previous $1.20 belongs solely to Biden. By the way, I don’t think Putin would be in the Ukraine right now were it not for the combination of shutting down the Keystone Pipeline and approving the Nord Stream 2.

Of which I've never denied. However, those same things continued and got worse under President Biden. So, yes, President Biden deserves blame, but not all of it.
You are right!!!! Brandon only deserves 99.9% of the blame.
however, Brandon has made an effort to create inflation by attacking the foundation of our and the world's economy, fossil fuel energy!!!!!!
Wreck the foundation and the house comes down.
top that with funding Russia, Iran, China, the drug cartels, dispersing covid positive illegal aliens across the country and celebrating the fentanyl epidemic leading cause of death for 18-45 year olds with an open border policy.
So in other critical categories Branden owns 100% of the blame!!!
Nope. That applied to Trump in spades, to all Republican presidents to a lesser extent, and occasionally Jimmy Carter. Biden's fault? Obama's fault? Puhlease...

You nailed it... the Biden admin is mostly responsible for the inflationary crisis and high gas prices, because of its ridiculous anti-energy policies.

There you go again, citing facts. Don't you know they have no power here? We're dealing with leftists.
Strange how the things people are saying caused this inflation spike began under Trump’s term…
Didn't Biden win because he's the anti-Trump? If so, how come everything Biden touches turns to you know what?? Disclaimer: Backing Ukraine is the ONE thing he's done right---except for being a day late and a dollar short on sending in military equipment---and except for letting Putin run the narrative on the war!
Biden goes off the rails...."‘I’m Sick’ of Americans Blaming Me for Inflation, Not Vladimir Putin"
Biden says this about gas prices, and about inflation in general. "It's not my fault, it's Putin's!!!" Putin attacked Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, at the far RIGHT side of the chart. How was Putin responsible for the major gas prices ever since Biden was elected?
Prices for Regular gasoline, from Sept. 2020 thru March 12, 2022 :
So what was the point of all the moaning when Trump was president? It was absolutely vital that we get a new president so that....things could be pretty bad, but it won't be the new president's fault?

Of course as always speculation has much to with all of it. But also the Pandemic and the associated optimism as the vaccines arrived and much of America started back towards normalcy. As demands kicked up, so did prices.
But overall, excluding the unknowns associated with the War, the costs of driving per mile have been down. If you look at inflation adjusted gas prices, and the fact that current motor vehicles are so much more efficient.
