The pedocrats are blaming the oil companies for price gouging, seems quite simple that a shortage of a product (in this case a self imposed shortage) would cause a demand and and higher prices follow, this is a very true fact of capitalism, in this case though, one of the main causes would be Gropey Joe shutting down the construction of the Keystone pipeline which would have supplied thousands of barrels.The pedophile President is also being called one to shut down line three buy the “squids”

This country and many other run on fossil fuels and if the pedocrats get their way will collapse our economy
Mid terms cannot come soon enough.

Please educate yourself on the Keystone XL pipelineat time Biden halted it it was only 8% complete. Had construction continued we would still be years away from its operation
the oil it was to transport was not intended for USA use, it was to be exported.
you have previously argued the gas price is all Joe's fault, yet here you do mention capitalism which shows you are learning.
please explain the "self imposed shortage" comment. who did this? let me guess you will blame Joe, yet he didnt stop any oil company from pumping oil nor did he hinder their development of new wells as you can easily see by doing a little research.
also, lets not forget that many of the oil companies had record PROFITS in 2021 - again capitalism

Coming up on the 50th anniversary of the 1973 oil crisis. But really it's just been a continuing crisis. . .
People are always trying to postulate as to what should be done.
It seems to me to always be kind of a whack-a-mole game: @ the various solutions people have.
Drill more, we need more refineries, we need more domestic production. . .
Read an article a few years back about a gas company out east, that was going to charge customers more because of low consumption. . .
So point is oil companies can do whatever they want.
Also look to be gouged as fossil fuel consumption decreases.
For those of you who will be stuck driving gas cars for a while.
Here are some pointers:
* Avoid Jack Rabbit starts
* Coast as much as possible
* Shower with a friend
* Car pool
* Plan your trips
* Drive slower when you can
* Walk
* Get a ride from a friend with an electric car

^^ or impeach Gropey Joe and the knee pad queen after the midterms and seat a president more in line with Trump’s philosophy and open up our reserves, problem solved.

Impeach them for what?If tfg could be impeached twice but not removed for actual bad things, like trying to over turn an election, there is nothing to ever impeach anyone of again.
There is nothing Biden is doing that his hampering current production. 59% of oil company CEOs recently admitted that what is keeping production down is the pressure from their stock holders to keep profits up.

Most of the oil production in the U.S. these days is predicated on high oil prices isn't it? The idea of speculating or domestic oil production and getting after it isn't with the idea of driving prices down in mind is it? lol
"Hey fellars, we gotta commence to drill drill drilling so we drive the price of oil down as low as we can". .
Who has the cleanest oil in the world?

^^ impeach them for what? It amazes me that dipshits like you actually live and remember to breath in and out. It starts with Hunter then moves to the “old man” corruption ring a bell?As far as cleanest crude oil that would be Brent, leastwise in any quantity.

Hunter? Didn’t know he held any position. Try again.
How about you give some actual factual reasons
Oh and corruption. That would be the trump crime family
He does have the record for the most indicted administration ever
But you keep lying to yourself to try and make yourself feel better

^^ Hunter is Gropey Joe’s bag man, funneling millions of $$ from other countries, pay attention, things are gonna get rough for the child molester president.< https://www.the-sun.com/news....p-claim >

Any actual facts? Or just the made up stuff?You believe these types of claims but none of the one on tfg?
And the constant insinuating of horrible actions by Biden needs to stop. The more you tell a lie doesn’t make it real. And, when the GOP is the ones who have actually been charged and found guilty of such crimes all you are doing is further promoting their projections
