You fucks said the president doesn't control gas prices when this shit happened under Bush, but now it's all Biden's fault. You're disingenuous hacks and you should kill yourselves. Well I do think trump was on the right path of America having energy independence on fuel/energy costs.. I'm a big shop local guy, I like keeping my money in my state, I also like keeping my money in the US rather than giving it to a country half a world away.. I've had this stance for decades and have stated this many times here. But you're sitting here making a statement about me that is completely false and a stance I have never taken..I'm fully capable of making objective decisions for myself without having to follow a narrative I've been fed.. Maybe you should settle down little feller, you seem to be lashing out uncontrollably and looking like a fool.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer254 Posted October 22, 2021 Author Share Posted October 22, 2021 I think I explained it pretty well. When we drill and produce our own oil or open up the oil reserves, oil and gas prices go down. This seems to happen about a year or so before an election. This happens to be controlled by washington and who is there. Not rocket science. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a nice story, but what you fail to realize is, it is a world market, SA was selling crude to the US and a few other countries for 7 to 8 dollars under world market prices to hurt the shale oil companies, Russia was also pumping extra oil to flood the market.

It is a nice story because it is TRUE and it works. You bs talk about SA and the games they play mean nothing when we don't need their oil. That is what happened and is controlled by the powers in washington, NOT Russia or SA. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Trump and the republican house and senate raised the price in 2017/18/19, over 2015/16 and then Trump the democratic house and republican senate lowered the price in 2020, it wasn't the fact that there was a pandemic? The fact that SA and Russia were producing in excess of 400,000 BPD had nothing to do with it in your mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ActionfigureJoe Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Higher oil prices is good. That means the oil shale companies can start producing again. American sourced energy is a good thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oil is sold on the open market when other countries produce more oil it lowers the price of ours, when they produce less it raises the price, when world supply is up a demand low prices are low when demand is high and output low prices are up, simple supply and demand. What you completely fail to grasp is that as long as our oil is sold on the open market, world supply and demand dictate the price. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who cares we were pumping our own. If they want to under cut tge world Markets good for them. When we get a guy in who says he is going to fight fosil fuel and then goes on to cancel pipe lines cancel drilling rights goes on tv bragibg about it . Yeah can't understand why the speculators would drive up prices.

As far as the Keystone pipeline goes it was not a US owned company, and if you think the poor quality tar sand oil is the reason prices are high you really need to educate yourself. As demand went down and there was no storage left anywhere production was slowed of course, now there is record demand and production is being brought backup opec is resisting raising production too fast as they feel in 2022 demand will fall and SA and Russia will still be able to by agreement add more BPD even when the PPB falls, and yes speculators jump at any chance to drive prices up, they gamble sometimes they win sometimes they lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but your story is just full of bullshit. It was proven by the simple fact that the US can produce more oil than these other countries and when it does, our gas prices reflect it. Stop making excuses and own up to the fact that what I said is 100% true. Edited October 23, 2021 by racer254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop making excuses and own up to the fact that what I said is 100% true. You said Washington lowers the price of gas 1 or 2 years before elections, you are full of shit. Yes if the US produces more oil it may lower prices like it did in 2015 and 2016, prices went up 2017/2018/ 2019. You can't compare 2020 when oil supply far out paced demand. US oil companies need oil to be about 45 DPB to make any money drilling in the US, state owned companies can keep producing oil for far less for far longer. That is why Trump threatened SA if they didn't cut production it was killing US drilling profitability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were on a better footing for energy independence with Trump. Prices were higher every year under Trump compared to 2015/2016 except 2020 during the pandemic. There are 2 choices to be energy independent, 1 either produce enough oil to make up any shortfall in world demand or 2 only sell US oil within in the US and not sell it on the world market. Remember how you blamed Bush when gas was even higher? Nobody else does either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
