RE: editorial by Power the Future - "Biden again uses Defense production Act to help failed energy agenda"

While I'm not necessarily a great supporter of Pres. Biden, I do believe in honesty and facts. Blaming Biden for the high gas prices is so "pot calling the kettle black". Trying to mis-inform and divide the public over high gas prices is the precise job of Power the Future. Looking at the big picture, we are still subsidizing the oil and gas industry as our planet continues to wreak havoc from the use of their product. I was under the impression that subsidies were to help promising beneficial fledgling industries get a foot in the marketplace, but here we have the Oil and Gas Industry still getting massive subsidies 100 years after their entry and takeover of the marketplace (and our Government!). Still not satisfied with huge profits, they raise the price of gas because the public has no option, and then they still end up complaining and blaming someone else. Is there no limit to the greed?
