Americans are driving less, resulting in fewer greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change, but at a big cost to poor people.
Asked whether conservation should play a greater role in adjusting to high prices, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said: “Americans are going to do what they feel is right for themselves and for their family. That’s not something for us to make a judgment on.”“The fact is there’s been a lot of studies on this — it’s just psychologically that how people tend to view the economy is through inflation,” said John Anzalone, a Democratic pollster who has worked for Biden.
It’s partly because of the global computer chip shortage. Automakers have been sending the chips they get to factories that build larger, more profitable vehicles, Schuster said. Sivak thinks $5 a gallon gasoline is for the moment the price that changes Americans’ car habits, but still much lower than the price paid in Europe and much of the rest of the world.
