Decades of policy choices makes gas more expensive for Blue states: Report

(The Center Square) – Policies made decades ago cause gas prices to be on average higher in Blue states than Red states, with a 55 cent gap per gallon, a new report from the Institute for Energy Research shows.

Manager of policy and communications at the Institute for Energy Research Alex Stevens told The Center Square that his organization’s report “reveals that the stark difference in gasoline prices across the country is not merely a product of global market forces but is heavily driven by deliberate, long-term state-level policy decisions.”
