Bungling Biden tells families they can save $500 a MONTH by switching to renewable energy: White House issues a correction saying saving is over a year - which is still met with disbelief
Joe Biden had incorrectly promised Americans they could save $500 a month by switching their homes to renewable energy during his Thursday speech
The White House quickly published a correction that makes clear that Americans would actually save around $500 a year, not a month
Biden also announced the release of 180 million barrels of oil over six months from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve
He said record high gas prices had two roots: the pandemic and Putin's war

President Joe Biden vastly overpromised Americans that they can expect savings of $500 a month by transitioning to renewable energy, which the White House corrected by saying the savings would actually come over a year.
In a fumble during his speech on gas prices on Thursday, Biden touted rebate programs for consumers switching to green energy but incorrectly cast how much would be saved.
'If your home is powered by safer, cheaper, cleaner electricity like solar or heat pumps, you can save about $500 a month on average,' Biden said.
The White House corrected Biden's remark in a transcript, making clear he meant to say the savings he predicted would be over a year, not a month.
'His plan will help ensure that America creates millions of good-paying union jobs in clean, cutting-edge industries for generations to come,' the statement said
'And it will save American families money in the immediate future – including more than $950 a year in gas savings from taking advantage of electric vehicles, and an additional $500 a year from using clean electricity like solar and heat pumps to power their homes.'
Biden addressed the subject while announcing plans to order the release of 1 million barrels of oil 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.
