Trump gas prices have been a huge “tax cut”

Obama had 4 years with gas prices over $3 average.... Trump hasn’t had 1, and gas prices for the most part have been extremely stable.
A lot of people overlook this fact as to why the economy is doing so well. People have more $ in their pockets and are spending it and juicing the economy or saving it (savings rate has ticked up too).

Stop giving the government credit for technological advancements they had nothing to do with.

Trump is responsible for packing FERC with pro energy individuals. Heck we went from disallowing pipelines, LNG plants, drilling to.....if I was living in west Texas I would not go on vacation, those fellas would approve drilling in my front yard and a pipeline in the back!!
He also passed writing off capital in one year versus depreciating it, a big deal in a capital intensive industry like oil and gas.
So he may not have invented fracking tech, but he sure stopped blocking it from succeeding.

I think I remember the Trump ‘gas price cut’ legislation now. No Democrats voted for that.

I completely agree on the regulation issues Obama had. Restricting pipelines and his attack on offshore drilling were weak. He only made one good decision on energy policy when they allowed for LNG exports. But there were major market forces at work now and then that have a much larger effect on the price of oil.

Seems like the new price ceiling for oil is in the $60 to $75 range.
This is because if it gets higher than shale oil becomes more profitable and will flood the market. The Saudis seem more than content to sell at this price in order to make other plays riskier.

Uh, no. The SPR was designed for Saudi boycotts. There is no need for one now. The oil prices are lower because the US is self sufficient plus an exporter. This will not change until a Democrat/Communist is elected president.

The thing about this fricking site is you never know who you’re taking to.

I'm Zach. What do you want to know about the SPR? I was studying it when it was created.

Has hardly anything to do with current prices....the energy industry, with a huge step change in tech, has nearly drilled itself into bankruptcy.

LOL ok. You’re still a dummy. Look at the sell logs for the past three years and get back to me.

That kinda happens when you have a POTUS with the balls to stand up to the climate nazis and the OPEC cartel and not let them hold our economy hostage using manipulative oil policies.

One of the big things pushing this along is the lifting of the export ban, without that every US rig would have been stacked long ago.

The Saudis are in the process of selling a good chunk of Aramco off to fund investment in other industries and selling at this price point is something they can survive but which hurts a number of other producers like Russia, Venezuela, Iran, etc.
They like high gas prices but, at the same time, they can weather lower ones in the process of running their competition out of the market. There will still be producers in those countries but there may be new governments there at some point because their budgets need high oil prices.

Few things
One, it is a done deal and 2 it is 1.5% of the company, you decide if that is a "good chunk" or not, it aint in my book.
