Why should I care about global supplies? The US refines more than enough for domestic supply. If there is a fuel "crisis" then maybe stop selling it overseas.

How can people be so ignorant in 2026? Or better yet, why pontificate about something you don't even know the basic facts that surround it?

Juvenile assessment of the dynamics of the system. If what you said held any fricking weight at all we wouldn't be seeing the price movements that we are.

Will also note that the SPR was intentionally drawn down when it wasn't even an emergency.

A horrific thought that this was done on purpose, but deep down you know it was.

God only knows what we are about to see. If Covid taught us anything it's that anything is possible. Godspeed.

Trump has indirectly reinforced that the entire world needs to go to other energy alternatives. He's helping Democrats out. few things will be on future agendas:

full domestic refinement of our crude which we produce more than we consume daily

reduce our oil on the world market

move to greener initiatives like China in case something like this does happen. at the very least you help reduce a problem over there when nobody cares about oil anymore.

Fueled by fairy farts!

A true fuel crisis is going to have much more significant impacts on most people than their personal transportation fuel costs.

But I love inflation. It would make my salary look higher but my employer can’t match it.

Natural gas prices in the US are $2.87 per MBTU. Not much different than when I retired from the oil business eleven years ago. The cost of generating electricity is low in the US relative to oil prices.

Get you an EV to commute.

That doesn't mean it was a bad decision to purchase an EV. We're basically drowning in natural gas which is the biggest portion of our grid. Depending on your personal situation an EV can make sense.

Yeah, go ahead and downvote. You will get an EV when gasoline goes to six and diesel to 8.
