The science is settled on that issue.

Because we have to put up with mega-maga’s. It takes a toll.

Jesus H Christ, they are acting likely giddy school children in that video. The GOP is utterly owned by the Saudis. This is ridiculous.

LOL.
They are not the ones making deals with the Saudis to buy oil because they refuse to increase drilling in our own country.

Joe Biden attracted criticism from both progressives and Republicans after a report indicated the White House was planning a visit to Saudi Arabia to discuss global oil supply.

Axios reported on Sunday that Biden’s senior advisers were considering a spring trip to Saudi Arabia in an effort to improve relations and to propose a potential increase in oil exports.

The White House press secretary, Jen Psaki, would not confirm those plans on Monday, although she noted that senior administration officials traveled to Saudi Arabia last month to “discuss a range of issues including the war in Yemen, including security in the region and certainly including energy security”.

“They had the discussion … it’s in everyone’s interest to reduce the impact on the global oil marketplace,” Psaki said.

While he doesn’t “love” the increased economic burden he knows it’s placing on people, he’s 100% correct about it being necessary to transition this country off an oil based transportation model. And that will only happen when people simply cannot afford gasoline, period. So yes, we must endure a period of people being unhappy and not being able to go about things as they used to, in order to move past this.

Change is never easy. Inertia has to be overcome. And that’s not accomplished by giving people the option to keep doing what they’ve been doing. I’d like to see gas over $10 a gallon within the next year, and staying there. Because that’s what it’s going to take to get the public to come around and commit to EVs and using mass transit.

That’s our only option. Because if we don’t, the planet dies. Period.

The white liberal end game is always the gated community elites pointing fingers and the populace forced to eat zoo animals. That’s where mental illness ends up.

All of those fated communities in Takoma Park, right?

Now, if you visit Florida sometime just look at all of the gated communities.

North American oil can never meet the demand of the North American market. It’s mathematically impossible. You are fighting in the name of an inpossibility. You are being manipulated into being irrational by partisan interests.

President Biden said that the country is going through an "incredible transition" away from fossil fuels via the high gas prices being experienced nationwide.

Biden made the statement on gas prices during a joint press conference with Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida on Monday.

"Here’s the situation. And when it comes to the gas prices, we’re going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it’s over, we’ll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over," Biden said, seeming to justify or praise those sky-high prices Americans face at the pump.

Higher gas prices are literally inevitable. A finite resource that is in high demand from a growing population of billions of humans can only ever lead to steadily increasing prices. Transitioning away from oil is an obvious necessity. Why can’t you see that?

The first thing Biden did was put the Keystone pipeline off the table. He created this deliberately.

That pipeline wouldn’t even be operational by now. It’s absence has not affected prices at the pump.

I do not believe you have even the most basic understanding of economics or commodities.

Biden’s decision to cancel the KeystoneXL permits immediately spiked gasoline prices higher, and they have only increased from there.

You're totally right. Today's gas prices have absolutely nothing to do with increased global demand, supply chain kinks, or sanctions on Russia.

This KXL rhetoric is complete BS. There ALREADY IS a Keystone pipeline flowing tar sands oil from Canada. KXL is an additional bypass pipeline and wouldn't affect oil prices as it would take YEARS for KXL to change supply. Not to mention that most of that tar sands oil it would carry is not for domestic consumption, it's poor-grade oil that is of such bad quality that it can only be refined in a handful of refineries in the world, which is why it gets shipped across the US. And it cannot be refined to produce many of the high-demand products America needs. Most of the KXL tar sands oil would be for EXPORT.

Exactly. The idea that new oil leases today would alleviate oil prices today is a total joke. It takes decades to implement and the conventional wisdom is that electric cars and other technologies will mitigate the demand such that there is no point in having the leases in the first place.

US oil and gas production remain at historic highs compared to the last 50 years. But to listen to Republican BS you'd think the entire industry was completely gutted by Biden.

Again, as mentioned just a few pages back: production lags drilling activity. Production has been kept flat by cannibalizing working capital. Oil prices have held EVEN IN THE FACE OF THE MASSIVE SPR RELEASE. Markets are full-throated yelling that we are in a supply shortage. The east coast is dangerously low on diesel fuel. This story is going to dominate the headlines through the summer and into the fall.

Biden gas is too damn high!

This is the result of stupid leaders that live in a fantasy world. Reality is going to be deadly. Our children’s lives are looking bleak.

I don’t think it’s really common knowledge that the US basically breaks even on energy at a macro level, in fact we are a slight energy exporter. So high oil/gas is basically a wash for the economy….of course the winners and losers on a micro level change significantly. Buy some oil stock next time to hedge as a consumer, although I doubt many people think of hedging their expenses in that way it is effective.

What an odd way to frame this. Good thing California has a higher minimum wage than the federal minimum.

Look you dumb poors, if you can't afford $5 gas, buy a $50,000 EV, idiots.

EVs are different but not more environmentally friendly. We’re carving out rainforests to get the nickel they require. They require electricity that burdens the system and also relies on not great means of producing electricity.

You don't have to buy an EV, just maybe consider trading in your lifted F250 brodozer that's never seen a worksite in its entire life for something a little more efficient, Bubba.
