For you that think Biden has no ownership in fuel prices.

Hey Bobo, do you REALLY think that oil companies are going to drill more wells, pump more oil to be refined into CHEAPER gas, lower gas prices to benefit US residents, AND give up OBSCENE PROFITS? No way.
The domestic oil companies don't make a dime on imported gas, desiel or kerosene. And they were making obscene profits (so said the Greenies) when the price was 2 bucks/gallon. Plus the federal and state Gov'ts make MUCH more money on Gas than the oil companies. Those outfits would love it if the US imported less oil

I know they would. Closed market competition would lead to even MORE OBSCENE profits. What does what you suggest have to do with LOWERING gas prices? Not a damn thing.

You need to rethink this comment.
NO domestic oil company will import gas, diesel or kerosene when they "don't make a dime"..

I am not getting into a pissing contest with you or any one else. But the fact remains that the US is better off when we are energy independent than when we are not. Energy independent--gas $2.00/gallon. Not-$4.50/gallon

It was snowing last week, it is 70 degrees now. Biden is president. Do you think he was responsible for the snow or 70 degrees. It’s an elementary fact.
Pretty weak argument. I don't see the correlation.

No less correlation than your comment that Biden is responsible for gas prices going up. Apparently you don't pay any attention to prior posts do you? According to you, Biden is solely responsible for gas prices going up. Correct? The oil companies are blameless, supply/demand has no effect on gas prices, and when have we ever been energy independent, except when the orange faced baboon was in charge?

Based on your opinion, not facts, I'm sure you haven't read any source material referenced in the posts. Here's one that maybe you should read, if only to make you a little bit more knowledgeable. https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/15/politics/energy-independence-fact-check/index.html

Here's a thought. How about arguing with some facts. You're not doing your credibility any good by your vile little replies. That seems to be all you have. That pretty much sums up your replies to everyone here on ug. Why is it a bunch of junk? Because it doesn't suit your agenda? Seems you're the one who wouldn't recognize truth. You have a real nice day.

I am here. I noticed you have a problem with mixing up men and women. Has that always been a problem for you, or in these cases size does not matter.

“The problem is, and the harsh reality for U.S. oil markets is that there is no switch that anyone can flip to suddenly turn on oil production overnight. There just isn’t,” said Clark Williams-Derry, an analyst at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis. “There is probably going to be six-to-nine months’ lag between today’s high prices and the time when the oil industry can bring significant amounts of new production online.”
