March 11, 20223 yr so the Oil industry is being destroyed by Biden, yet they make record setting profits. Me thinks the GOP is lying again. In a post to Twitter this week, House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) wrote that rising prices at the pump during Biden’s presidency "is what happens when you destroy America’s energy industry”—part of a broader argument that Biden is waging "war” on domestic fossil fuel companies. In fact, to the frustration of climate and environmental advocates, the Biden administration approved more drilling permits during his first year in office than former President Donald Trump did in any of his first three, according to data compiled by the conservation group Center for Western Priorities. It also held the largest offshore oil and gas lease sale in US history in the Gulf of Mexico last year. A federal judge later vacated those leases, concluding that the Biden administration failed to properly account for climate effects when it held the offshore auction.

March 12, 20223 yr Imagine being so partisan with your thought process that actually tell yourself and people around you the the administration/president of the United States of America doesn’t have any control over gas prices. Yet they decide who we buy from and how it’s produced here at home. it’s insane If you’re one of these people my best advice to to keep that belief close to your chest and save it for when you days like these when $10.00 gets you 1.3 gallons of gas so you’ll feel better about your political party.
March 12, 20223 yr Imagine having so little clue about global oil pricing? Its insane. Biden is a dope for blaming it all on Russia. Just like the dopes blaming it all on Biden.

Just like the dopes blaming it all on Biden. Like I said. Save it for yourself. I been around to long and seen too much to be swayed to not holding our leaders accountable for their part in fuel prices. let me guess I bet you also think the weak sauce administration currently in control of rhe most powerful country on the planet has nothing to with Putin invading its neighbor and throwing threats about nuclear war around Willy nilly Right toast? i won’t bring it up again. Just like I won’t bring up the gas prices or rise in crime. I’ve spoke my piece on the matter. Now all their is to do is work my ass off to stay afloat like a majority of us do
March 12, 20223 yr Federal policy can of course have an effect on gas prices. But mostly long term, not short term. The keystone XL pipeline being killed for example will have an effect - in 2025 or so when it would have increased the amount of (very dirty) crude that makes its way from Canada to US refineries. (And then mostly on to other nations, but either way it would have had an impact because SURPRISE oil is global.) But gas prices over the past year have risen as a result of demand outpacing supply. It's just that simple. The right wants to make it about Biden "shutting down oil," but the facts don't support that. More oil drilling permits were approved by Biden in 2021 than by Trump in his first year. Oil production in the US has risen steadily, and new oil rigs are online every month. 14 new pipelines were completed in 2021. Biden didn't constrain the oil industry. An oil industry that saw its demand fall off a cliff because of Covid, and that shut down a significant amount of it's supply capacity, is being slow but steady in increasing supply, as we've shown our demand is not being curbed by high prices as well as a hedge against another pandemic shutting them down. Meanwhile OPEC production is still being held back 10% from pre-pandemic. The recent announcement that they will increase supply is a huge thing. So yes: policies set by the president can have an effect. Very little effect in the short term, but it can. But none of Biden's policies have caused supply to be artificially constrained. This is simple: demand is outpacing supply. Period.
