If democrats win the house or the senate or both, will gas prices go down? Isn’t that what we’re voting for?
No Democrats did this via POLICY they will run it up again.

Down .40 this week around my home.
Democrats won't help fuel prices, electricity, food, health care or anything that they are claiming they will if you vote for them.
They never have before.

And yet we’ve never seen a choke point like the Strait of Hormuz closed.

Israel has been trying to go to war with Iran for decades. Trump is the only one to get duped by Israel into joining in and causing the Strait of Hormuz to be closed.

In January 2022 gas was $3.30 a gallon. After Russia invaded the Ukraine in February 2022 there was an overreaction by the market and gas peaked in June at $5.01 and diesel had a high of $5.82. By December the national average was back down to $3.21.

Gas prices went down in 2022 in 6 months because of an overreaction. This could be different because I don’t think people or the market knew how valuable or vulnerable the Straight of Hormuz is.

It may take a while to fix this even after we leave Iran.

No.. I don't think they ever will go down, no matter who is in office.

As I drive from OKC to Texoma regularly.. I am amazed at all the freakin cars on the road.. daily.. day after day after day...

All the friends I knew had kids.. Who are diving.. and they had kids, who are driving.. and they had kids who are driving.. and they are about to have kids who will drive.

The world consumption is 103 million to 105 million barrels per day.


I keep telling my old lady... We are going to need a milk cow, and a mule team with wagon before this is all over.

It's not 4 billion bpd, but I agree with your post. I think what the conflict is exposing is that the world energy supply was on knife's edge. With the U.S. and Iran jousting, Houthis going crazy, Russia and Z at war, there just isn't much buffer.

This isn't getting fixed anytime soon. I would bet there are massive fertilizer issues and the planet starts seeing a real food crisis next year.

Thank You.. Google lied or I miss read it...

But yes... I am just amazed at the amount of cars on the road daily... and I think about large cities like Houston, Dallas LA, etc...

I know rural America burns tons of fuel going from Country home to city job daily too...

I just don;t know how we can keep going... To me it's not about climate change... But how will we change will oil runs out?

I keep telling my stockbroker I want to invest is Trains.. as Gas climbs I do see the rise of the railroads again.. Commuter style.

I am reminded of a post I made here once, where the bartender told me he wasn't worried about China buying our farmland.. Because we had a Taco Bell on every corner and we would be OK.


BTW.. The other bartender who looked like Marie Antionette ran off screaming that she hated White People...

I used to post a lot on here 10-15 years ago about peak oil and energy supply. I was ridiculed and still take grief for it. The world is blowing through like 103 million barrels of oil per day. That will not go on for more than a decade or two.

No one posting here will be alive when we theoretically run out of oil. The 50 year timeline is a prog scare tactic.

Before any of this they were wanting high prices to force battery power. Why would they want to drop prices.
