re: Yellen: Biden Not Responsible For High Gas Prices

Reverse the EOs he signed on his first day to overturn Trump’s easing of restrictions

Stop EPA stonewalling of report reviews that are holding up drilling and production operations

Immediately “own” and take back his stated position (made during campaign) of intending to ‘end fossil fuel industry’


BONUS: immediately ask for Oil Co. executives to come and give him council on how to get their industry revved up to highest capacity. Make it TRULY bipartisan at this meeting and promote be open minded.

Add to this - drop sanctions against Russia and make Ukraine negotiate a settlement.

Isn't this all just on federal leases, though? And even with that, it's not clear at all that this has significantly impeded production.

I would hope he would do that too, but come on - that's not making gas prices high.

Oil company execs have been very clear about how they must tend to their battered shareholders first. They have vaporized $1 trillion over the past decade with silly projects and over-promises. We can surely blame politicians for some of this, but why is it I never see threads that say "Oil industry responsible for much of its own predicament"?

The number one thing I would do is find some kind of way to convince high-profile institutional investors to start investing in traditional energy again.
