U.S. Energy Secretary Wright said high gas prices are a price the country must accept as part of current market conditions. The secretary added that the United States is not going to run out of gasoline.
Wright's remarks came as retail gasoline prices remain elevated across much of the country. The comments addressed both the cost to drivers and the availability of fuel at the pump.
We are not going to run out of gas," Wright said. The statement was reported by multiple financial news outlets monitoring energy policy. Observers noted that the remarks align with administration messaging on energy markets. No specific timeline for price relief was provided in the statements.
