President Joe Biden has told Americans they could save $500 a month by transitioning to renewable energy. An AP Fact Check shows he misspoke. The White House actually claims that using green energy might save people $500 a year, not per month.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden vastly overpromised Thursday when he told Americans they can expect savings of $500 a month by transitioning to renewable energy. It’s possible they might save that much over a year, not per month.per day from the strategic petroleum reserve for the next six months.

Biden is grappling with fallout from surging energy prices, including gasoline that has reached an average of $4.23 per gallon, after the United States banned imports of Russian oil and gas. It’s unclear how much gasoline prices might dip from Biden’s new order, but the president did promise immediate savings from adopting renewable energy:

BIDEN: “If your home is powered by safer, cheaper, cleaner electricity like solar or heat pumps, you can save about $500 a month on average.”THE FACTS: Not so. The average person in the U.S. spends far less than that every month on electricity.

Biden has no idea where he is. At times he believes he is on Mars with Michelle Obama as his VP.

His gaffes are serious.

Where is the electricity coming from for what 500M +/- electric cars at $60k per? Yep fossil fuels...net positive emissions increase. Electric semis use enough electricity for 11 to 13 households. Wind 35% efficient, solar 18% but ruin the economy on tech that isn't there yet

They spelled 'propagandized' wrong

can we see the math on that?

Mr. MaGoo is at it again, and libs are still to bullheaded and proud to admit he's been a huge failure, and a danger to this country, and the people working behind the scenes are just trying to push as much as they can until he implodes.

Interesting that Biden seems to always 'misspeak' but Trump always 'lied.'

holy shit they fact checked biden!!!!

They just make up stuff now and media goes along with it. Imagine if this was a Republican as the media would be calling them all kinds of names such as liars Political change is coming so get ready msm

When is a bunch of crazy indoctrinated extremists that display an arrogant hypocrisy... They claim JoeBiden misspoke The senile 'ice-cream' guy flat-out lied. should have the guts to say the correct words, not demo-wash them to appease their low IQ owners.

Lyin Biden.

and all you have to do is buy a $50,000 EV car instead of a $20,000 gas car!

The cost of electricity to charge said car

We’re running out of Pinocchios.

First time seeing a fact check on Biden but ya most the things he says his own party doesn’t agree with and he’s almost always fabricating his plan or just lying and blaming someone for his faults like Russia or the gas companies 🤡

''''''''''''''''misspoke''''''''''''''''

Really a politician over promising

Renewable electricity sources cost more than other sources.

Misspoke my a$$, when are you clowns going to stop covering for dementia Joe? He out right lied!!

Who else is sick of this geriatric filling a diaper every day in public?

Did Joe lie?

Fact checkers on Biden: he misspoke Fact Checkers on Trump: HE FUCKING LIED TO YOU ALL ON PURPOSE BECAUSE PUTIN TOLD HIM TO Stop. Trusting. Fact. Checkers.

Where r we getting all the electricity to plug in our $60,000 electric cars that Joe wants us to buy?

He misspoke. The WH corrects it. He did not take a Sharpie to a budget and double down on it, that's why we're a bit sane again.

How about everyone turn off their central AC this summer and sweat out the savings.

Lmao

JenniferJJacobs 😆😡😆

JenniferJJacobs Oops 🤦🏼‍♂️

'Mispoke' if this were the last guy you would have used the word 'Lied'. The amount of shit you carry for this admin would make a sewer jealous......

A tesla powerwall would pay for itself in just two generations!

After you spend $10k on solar panels

Were labeled enemy of the people for a reason. The left can't accept what they voted for, it all gets explained away.

Republicans lie, dems 'misspeak', got it!

And, he is going to cost us our country if ne keeps pushing this crap now. Now isn't the time!

$500 a year isn't even worth the initial effort or capital it would take to make the transition

You mean he lied.

If you choose to be thorough , let us know after how many years it becomes profitable. It scares people off when they spend an extra 10K up front, not knowing when it pays dividends. For now, liabilities are clear, and assets unknown.

If it were Trump - this would count as one of his lies.

You misspelled disinformation. Also, you MIGHT save some money if you don’t have to spend any to buy a new car or solar panels.

Or we could live more comfortably with alot more money in our pockets with a new president

Let’s go Brandon!

The economics isn’t there yet. Wont be for at least a decade

Liar liar liar. What would you have done if Trump didn't fill those reserves? Can't run your gov't unless you take something President Trump did. Trump is the one who saved the day not you binden

President. Biden, You say that Americans could save $500. a month by transitioning to renewable energy. WE could have saved $400,000. a year, and as it turns out, Billions more by re-electing Trump. Now that is real saving! Hope this helps open your squinters.

If his mouth is moving he’s lying

Liar liar pants on fire

He lied. I fixed it for you.

Just another bullshit ploy by the old man in the White House to manipulate the public what a waste that man needs to be impeached

Yet we keep buying a wall from countries who hate us. What a stupid move. We should allow for our country to produce again.

Maybe he just lied

Again with his lies🙄

FACT CHECK? Fact check this charlatan's legitimacy.

'Biden lied on green energy savings'... Fixed it for ya.

Hennigracing A month a year. In Biden’s world what’s the difference.

TheLastRefuge2 And the policy of closing nuke plants early and refusing to approve natgas pipelines in the northeast has driven up cost of heating and electricity by thousands per year....anti-hydrocarbon policy has direct impact on costs...

din don

6_BeersDeep your boi

This dude doesn’t know the difference between years/months 🤣😭

Might

He doesn’t know what he is talking about 😂

Still, it's better than person, woman, man, camera, tv

Cue the White House brooms to sweep up another mess.

You save more $$ a year ensuring your tires are inflated properly. Just sayin.

Just off by a factor of 12 - no biggie!

Misspoke. Lol. Now it's 'misspoke.'
