Stuart Varney: Americans are paying for Biden’s ‘green dreams’

During his latest "My Take," "Varney & Co." host Stuart Varney discussed the spike in gas prices as Democrats push climate politics, arguing Americans are all "paying" for Biden's "green dreams."

All seeing gains of 30 cents a gallon in a few days.

Here's another problem: OPEC is considering cutting oil production by two million barrels a day.
Early reports were that it was one million. Now they're talking two. What an embarrassment for the president.
He begged the Saudis to produce more.
But he won't allow us to go get our own energy.

From day one, when he ended America’s energy independence, he's been in the pocket of the greens.
We're all paying for his green dreams. And Californians are paying the most.
Surely, at some point, voters, even in the formerly golden state, will figure out they're being taken for a ride…
