Higher gas prices, chip shortages for cars, higher prices for both new and used cars. This is all planned. It’s part of the Lefts strategy to ween us off of fossil fuels and rid us of symbols of freedom like personal automobiles.

All we have to do is buy EV's - oh wait we can't because of chip shortage.

Okay then when the chips are available late next year, just buy an EV and be able to charge it anywhere - oh wait there's zero infrastructure buildout except for 2 bays at Whole Foods.

He probably hasn't had the time to look into this.

""I've been there before, I know it well, I guess I should go down," Biden told CNN's Anderson Cooper during a town hall event. "The whole point of it is, I haven't had a whole hell of a lot of time to get down."

What a pitiful POS!

how about open up American oil pipelines

Would help but since the markets are also driven by emotions, quit sucking Iran's dick and stand up to them.

Pricing the peasants out of driving.

He used executive orders to create this mess. So an executive order can easily fix it. It's just him and his puppet masters don't want to fix this shite.

How about having the EPA quit hounding the frick out of refineries and charging fines and taxes for any kind of carbon whatsoever. Then maybe the refineries will actually start making fuel again instead of reconfiguring the plants to make petrochemicals and plastics, which is not greener than fuel or better for the environment.

Bingo - it's Carter all over again but this time, the stakes are 1000 times higher as big tech, Dominion voting and corrupt media has made it impossible to have a backdoor way out of this.

The president doesn't control gas prices

The only thing that will lower gas prices is more upstream production


When the president has policies that reduce American energy production, he absolutely has an impact on energy prices.

Same as when the president has the reverse stance.

Yep, and literally on his first day he issued an EO to kill the Keystone XL pipeline. If this is not considered a president having a direct impact on energy prices, then I don't know what is.

There were way more rigs drilling in the Gulf of Mexico and on land during Obama than during Trump. It was the 2014 price collapse that lowered the rig count by a LOT. Then the price collapse and uncertainty of future demand in early 2020 dropped rig count even further GLOBALLY.

Biden's announcement about drilling on Fed land was just throwing a bone to the ecowhacko moron crowd. The real harm is to people like a retired nuclear astrophysicist friend in Nevada. He has numerous oil seeps on some of his land in Nevada but surrounded by BLM so no company is going to drill on small acreage and install infrastructure to process at the wellhead and transport when they cannot develop the entire field around him.

Also the stupid believe that no new refinery can be built or even hasn't been built for decades. Total bullshiite lie. There was one blocked in Arizona decades ago by locals. It was going to use Alaskan crude by pipeline from California terminals. Two were built during Obama's time in office in the Bakken region with their market to supply drilling rigs and trucks with diesel. Then the 2014 price collapse totally screwed up their market and they both were shutdown permanently. One was built in Galveston in 2019/2020 for 100,000 BPD where a biodiesel plant once stood. It was designed to refine Eagle Ford crude which no refinery wants to use as primary feedstock due the light ends reduce refinery throughput and result in a bankrupt refinery. This one was designed to handle those extra light ends. The owner opted to score a great deal on heavy crude in 2020 and it cannot handle it so lawsuits and counter lawsuits are now ongoing.

I love how this is happening under Biden's watch, but the fact is that Biden is not responsible just as Trump wasn't responsible for lower prices

A client who has several plants making additives for drilling fluids is running at capacity to supply the Middle East. HOWEVER, there are no more drilling rigs than before per Baker Hughes rig count. Seems that they are planning on picking up steam the same time as CAPEX in the USA explodes.

Huh? Which refinery has been reconfigured to make petrochemicals and plastics? Name ONE.

Did you graduate from the 1st grade yet?
