The cure for high oil prices

[bgreene]

Is …….high oil prices !

At $80 a barrel the private equity drillers are making good money and will add a LOT of supply.
Yes, a LOT of supply.
That plus oil prices tend to fall around this time of year is hopeful.

No it’s not a guarantee but watch and see

cost of raising beef is up too. Maybe a hamburger will be cheaper soon?

If our ports shifted to a 24/7 schedule all the loads could be moved off the ships

First, they can't go 24/7. They tried it already and the result was it didn't work. The problem is not the ports, the problem is a lack of drivers to drive the trucks. So the merchandise just sits while waiting for truckers to be available to haul the goods. News 12 (Optimum/Cablevision, our local and very pro democrat cable network just did a article about that very thing yesterday. Look it up. Very interesting. You might learn something.

Second, where did you learn economics? if/when oil hits $80 a barrel then the COST of fuel made from that barrel will be passed along to the consumer. The price will go UP. Fuel costs less at $65 a barrel because the cost to produce the fuel is less. Gas in NUJ just went up another 5.8 cents a gallon yesterday. and the 8 cents a gallon reduction in the gas tax did absolutely nothing. The stations just pocketed the 8 cents and kept the prices the same. This whole thing, shortages, fuel, etc. is starting to smell to high heaven of our government manipulating prices to promote their climate change agenda spending trillions more that we don't have on things we don't need, while controlling us.

Of course you don’t know why gas prices dropped so low ……and now so high.
All you think is Trump and Biden.

Global gas prices collapsed during COVID …..and rebound surge crippled by worker shortages has created the inflation.
But you don’t know anything except trump ….Biden .

Under Trump,,,,,oil independent
Biden.....,,, on the first day he cut out the pipe line

A…the oil was to be shipped overseas - not for us in the USA
B…it represented an environmental disaster for our country
C…repeat …..it represented an environmental disaster for our country.

You keep leaving out one very important key word. "Potential". The pipeline represents a potential disaster. (Just like the one(s) in Alaska) The fact is almost ANYTHING, given the right circumstances, represents a potential disaster. So should we stop trucking gas in tankers? What about the mega long trains filled with oil going to the refineries every day? How about the huge tankers transporting oil from the mid east to our shores? Each and every one of them represents a potential disaster. I can go on and on, but you get the idea. They are using FEAR as a club over your head.... "Oh it's an environmental disaster waiting to happen"... We can't let that happen because we care about you and the environment". Instead lets use renewable resources like wind and solar and spend millions and billions of dollars on projects that are just wastes of money or are pure bunk. (remember Solyndra, the solar panel start up company that raised a billion dollars from private investors and then another 500 million from the government under Obama's tenure, then filed for bankruptcy)?. But we now know that those aren't really such good things either. Just ask the hundreds of thousands of dead birds at the bases of the windmills, or the hundreds of tons of fiberglass that has to be buried in landfills from the windmill blades that wear out after a few decades. I won't even mention the mercury and other deadly chemicals that are in the photoelectric solar cells.

We CANNOT keep our heads in the sand worrying about things that "MIGHT" happen when all around us are things that are happening RIGHT NOW! Things like soaring inflation, things like gas up over a buck fifty and still climbing, things like an open boarder with over a million illegal persons entering our Country, things like a disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan, things like China about to try to swallow up Taiwan, things like our government trying to force it's citizens to take a vaccine. Things like our imposter "president" telling us that his patience is wearing thin, like we are somehow his serfs and lackeys', things like the cost of meat soaring through
the roof, things like bare shelves in the grocery stores. I can name lots more but you get the idea. And the worst thing, the worst thing of all, is the FACT that ALL of that is self inflicted. We could lower the cost of oil, stop inflation dead in it's tracks, increase the distribution of supplies to stores, close our borders, etc..... But that's not what the Democrats really want. They can't control us if we have food and oil and all the other things I mentioned. So they pay us lip serv9ce, promise us that they can fix it, promise us that it's only transitory, but they do nothing, and the idiots keep voting for them because they want the "free" stuff they are promised.

$3.95 a gallon for diesel today. Still waiting for it to get cheap. Looking forward to a fuel surcharge on everything soon.
