[85SugarVol]

I missed it 85 whose quotes were these?

Oh just mine. Not real quotes.

2 narratives being pushed simultaneously by the same faction.

Interesting. Thank you.

We were just discussing yesterday whether Democrats had ever attempted to cudgel Republicans with gas prices.

Nixon left Carter with a mess, Carter gets basically all the blame from Republicans.

Bush left Obama with a mess, Obama gets most of the blame from Republicans.

Trump left Biden with a mess, Biden seems to be getting all of the blame from Trump people.

Lol is this a joke

I bet there’s not a 4 or 5 on that sign.

Democrats look to preempt gouging with oil windfall tax proposal

Figured this was coming.

We should assume, until shown otherwise, that oil companies are not in cahoots on prices in this situation. And so I'm against this.

On the flip side, we're it shown that there is collusion in a crisis situation like this then I hope any available criminal penalties are brought to bear.

Biden and his band of communist absolutely declared war of fossil fuels. They campaigned on it. People that voted for Biden voted for his war on fossil fuels.

Any collusion would involve this administration.

 

[happy-go_vol]

I didn't say that or imply it, try to stick with the arguments that are being made - not ones which you feel are more vulnerable.

I will say that while I'm sure that both sides take money from big oil, I can't recall the last time I saw a democrat weaponize the cost of gas against the republicans.

Perhaps it's happened, I just don't recall it.

Well the communist party wants high gas prices. Need to save those seals and grow your fed gov so America can rely on them more

Idk how anyone could take this serious. Trump’s spending was bad. Biden’s has been worse. Trump’s energy policy was fine. Biden’s has been horrific.

Has Biden taken any steps to improve any of the “mess” he was handed? Or has he went out of his way to make it worse?

You’ve still not told us what’s been good about Biden’s energy policy.

You stated maybe the good out ways the bad. Can you tell me what the good is?

$2.96 per gallon national average - is what the Dems were complaining about. That just seems so quaint (and desirable) in retrospect.

You don't understand. I'm not promoting that they are. The administration has. So I'd like to know, to start with, what percentage of the increase in price is attributable to what policy and what is attributable to Russian attack, covid winding down, etc.

So we should agree “that” is a lie. You’re proclaiming they’re saying that, but you can’t name a single positive.

But we can easily remove Russia from the equation by simply asking “what was the price before Russia placed troops on the border” and the answer is it was still incredibly high.

The covid wind down is obviously a non factor. Cell phone data has already shown that after a week or so, the idea of a lockdown was nonexistent

So do you have any other excuses left?

The more difficult to define, the better.

 

[85SugarVol]

Gonna give this a stab for LG. What % of the gas price increase is attributable to the believed major drivers?

Vladimir Putin - 48%
Oil Executives - 23%
Hot Economy - 17%
Covid Response - 8%
Admin Policies - 3%
Dick W. Cheney - 1%

Biden sucks. I am not sure how many times I have to say that, but Trump was a horrible president, as well.

Just imagine though, had Trump not won....

 

[SpaceCoastVol]

Sorry, there needs to be a balance between supporting American energy and supporting the environment.

You're absolutely right.

 

[Orange_Vol1321]

Just going to drive up inflation for everything else as well...Incoming 12%.

It's already 12% but just being underreported.

The Biden administration is signaling to the oil industry we need your oil now to help lower prices, but not in the future. Increasing supply is not like turning on a light switch, it requires investment and I can see why oil companies may be reluctant to invest in longer term projects. Couple this with new regulations to meet climate targets on new/existing leases and the canceling on the Keystone XL which also provided a clear signal for other pipeline projects that this administration is anti-oil.

You mean as soon as the price of oil goes back down the administration isn’t going to look to maintain this new friendship?

Why would the Oil Companies be suspicious?

Could it be the 40 year jihad waged against them and other fossil fuels?

I don’t know for sure. But it could be.
