Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) spoke on the Senate floor to explain how Pres. Biden’s assault on American fossil fuels is driving up prices in nearly every sector of industry.
“Now, high oil prices are also waterboarding our farmers which contributes to these high food prices. Did you know that we make industrial fertilizer with fossil fuels? And when natural gas costs more, so does fertilizing a field of wheat or corn or soybeans. Some of our herbicides right now are twice as expensive as they were—if farmers can find them.”
