      @@ThePilotGear that’s a BS excuse for failed energy policies. Biden banned fracking and new leases for drilling practically making us almost completely dependent on other countries. Not only did that cripple our energy sector, costing jobs and supply, it meant any little snafu would shoot the price up even worse. The pandemic had been over with months before Biden took office. People going out and driving way before Biden and prices were still below $2.50. Biden takes office and it wasn’t long before prices were hovering around $3.50. You have (not you specifically) to be a special kind of dumb to not think energy companies having no backup supply that they control. We didn’t go on lockdown and gas just disappeared. Europe didn’t go to war and gas just disappeared. There’s always supply. While the blame is not all on Biden, his policies have turned a bad situation to a dire situation. However, to say that gas prices are to blame because of Russia and the invasion is a poor defense of this current administration and their terrible policies. It’s ok cause his solution for gas is instead of getting it from the mean meanie putin, we get it from Maduro and Venezuela, where having your citizens eating dogs and trash is perfectly acceptable to the government. Invading? Bad. Making your people suffer? Good. Give us oil.

      Indeed. OPEC cartel tried the same thing before but Russia was in bad terms with them so it flooded the market and brought the price down. However now that most of the west is against Russia, OPEC is using this opportunity to extend a helping hand to Russia and together they control the supply.
      But I guess high oil prices is what that's needed for a true revolution in energy. All the projects that were scrapped or shutdown might be revived in hopes to reduce dependence on gas.

Saudi Arabia sells their oil in exchange of dollars to all countries which keeps the global demand for the dollar high which maintains the value. If us doesn’t support Saudi Arabia militarily and financially, they can drop the dollar for the Chinese yuan. This could lead to end of petrodollar, make US dollars worthless as rubles, and officially make China the worlds super power.

In other words, even the CEO of Google and his military buddy aren't above ridiculing the hygiene standards of war torn, 3rd world countries.

    The truth is that the U.S. is the largest oil producer on the planet and could easily produce enough to drive down prices. U.S. oil producers were producing 18 million barrels a day prior to the pandemic. Today, they are producing approximately 8.5 million barrels a day. We have a huge amount of production capacity sitting there offline that could be brought back online in a couple of weeks time.
    The head of the largest U.S. oil producing company admitted during an interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin on CNBC (aired in part on December 7, 2021 Squawk Box morning show) that U.S. producers have plenty of production capacity they are refusing to bring back online because they want to hurt the Biden Administration. When Sorkin asked the jerk if he had any obligation to his country or the world economy trying to recover from a 2-year pandemic, the response was, "our only obligation is to our shareholders."
    Energy is the number one cause of inflation. If the U.S. oil producers brought back production to pre-pandemic levels, prices would drop to nearly $2.00 per gallon in just a few weeks. Prices throughout the economy would drop due to lower transportation costs. Inflation would drop back down to normal levels.
    We are all being held hostage by a bunch of oil companies who are experiencing record profits while doing their best to make voters angry at Biden and the Democrats and hoping they will be voted out. No industry should have that much power over our economy or our political system. People should also understand that high oil and gas prices enrich Russia and OPEC at the expense from the rest of us.
    The U.S. government should use its Emergency Powers to do some drilling and replenishing of the Strategic Oil Stockpile and constantly releasing from that stockpile into the market to drive down prices. That would force the oil companies to treat us fairly because they could no longer conspire together to act as a duopoly.

      In the book "A New Digital Age", Google's CEO and his U.S. military buddy call that social phenomenom the 'Arab Springs'. Living in America and knowing how racist people are here, I can only guess 'Arab Springs' is a deragatory spin on the bar soap company 'Irish Springs' since the book doesn't seem to reference a verifiable event in Middle Eastern history. In other words, even the CEO of Google and his military buddy aren't above ridiculing the hygiene standards of war torn, 3rd world countries.
      That being said, I call 3 dollars a tank in Iran the 'Poland Springs' because just like refreshing bottled water, that oil is tapped straight from the source.

      The truth is that the U.S. is the largest oil producer on the planet and could easily produce enough to drive down prices. U.S. oil producers were producing 18 million barrels a day prior to the pandemic. Today, they are producing approximately 8.5 million barrels a day. We have a huge amount of production capacity sitting there offline that could be brought back online in a couple of weeks time.
      The head of the largest U.S. oil producing company admitted during an interview with Andrew Ross Sorkin on CNBC (aired in part on December 7, 2021 Squawk Box morning show) that U.S. producers have plenty of production capacity they are refusing to bring back online because they want to hurt the Biden Administration. When Sorkin asked the jerk if he had any obligation to his country or the world economy trying to recover from a 2-year pandemic, the response was, "our only obligation is to our shareholders."
      Energy is the number one cause of inflation. If the U.S. oil producers brought back production to pre-pandemic levels, prices would drop to nearly $2.00 per gallon in just a few weeks. Prices throughout the economy would drop due to lower transportation costs. Inflation would drop back down to normal levels.
      We are all being held hostage by a bunch of oil companies who are experiencing record profits while doing their best to make voters angry at Biden and the Democrats and hoping they will be voted out. No industry should have that much power over our economy or our political system. People should also understand that high oil and gas prices enrich Russia and OPEC at the expense from the rest of us.
      The U.S. government should use its Emergency Powers to do some drilling and replenishing of the Strategic Oil Stockpile and constantly releasing from that stockpile into the market to drive down prices. That would force the oil companies to treat us fairly because they could no longer conspire together to act as a duopoly.
