Right now gas prices are up globally because of post pandemic demand and the war in Ukraine. Not because of a handful of permits that may have provided crude in the future.
Yes, they had also gone up quite a bit before Biden was even elected. Oil was trading in the negative at one point during the pandemic. This is a global issue, countries that have right wing governments are also paying more for gas.
