let's go to kayla tausche in washington for more. kayla? >> reporter: this request from the president to the ftc to investigate possible illegal conduct by energy companies comes as energy prices remain high in. a letter today, president biden writes, that in the last month, the price of unfinished gasoline is down more than 5% while gas prices at the pump are up 3% in that same period this unexplained large gap, the president calls out, he slams the industry for outsized profits and returns to shareholders even as consumer costs are rising but there is a lot of components that go into gasoline prices over the last ten years, crude oil comprised about half of the retail gasoline price. the rest came from refining, marketing and distribution costs. plus, federal, state, and local taxes. president biden has been under immense political pressure to take action to stem soaring prices, especially ahead of the holiday travel season. a white house official says this doesn't preclude other future actions from being taken but certainly the president

kayla? >> reporter: hey, dom. the backdrop of the port of baltimore, president biden today will tout the $17 billion in the deal to invest in ports as the administration works to unlock the supply chain and get goods moving more quickly across the country. but the projects that biden will praise today underscore that these will not be quick fixes. first, a tunnel expansion by csx that will allow for double-decker container transport from the port underneath downtown baltimore. that's been in the works since 2016 after a few false starts on funding, the trump administration awarded its first federal grant in 2019. the project breaks ground this year, and it won't be completed until 2025 the second project is a $160 million investment to upgrade the marine terminal and buy new cranes and that investment was announced in december 2020 senior administration officials say they're spending the next 45 to 90 days identifying and prioritizing port and highway projects and opening up grant programs for submission. so the m

cnbc senior white house correspondent, kayla tausche now with more on what's in this bill hi, kayla.reporter: hi, shep, good evening. about half of the $1.2 trillion package is new federal spending beyond what's authorized each year to pay for normal maintenance of highways and waterways. that includes $284 billion for roads, bridges, freight, and passenger rail, and public transit. and 266 billion for what's called core infrastructure that's power, water, and new broadband across the country leftover covid-relief money and tax enforcement on crypto gains are offsetting the cost but the nonpartisan congressional budget office says it will add $256 billion to the federal deficit over ten years to get the money to the right levels, the white house appointed former-new orleans mayor, mitch landrieu, as senior adviser and infrastructure coordinator. he shepherded and fast-tracked projects during the city's rebuilding after hurricane katrina. celebrating on the south lawn today, more than 800 attendees the president and his cabinet flanked by lawmakers, labor unions, businesses, donors, c
