Mainecat Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Most Americans are willing to pay more at the pump for Ukraine US president Joe Biden banned Russian oil imports on March 8 in response to Russia’s Ukraine invasion. The move will likely push gasoline prices to new highs, but most Americans are willing to pay them, according to a new Quinnipiac University national poll. Overall, 71% of Americans supported a ban on Russian oil even if it resulted in higher gas prices, according to the survey, which was conducted from March 4 to 6. Oil was trading around $130 a barrel on Tuesday, while a regular gallon of gasoline was an average $4.17 at the pump. Democrats were the most likely to back the ban, but the support rates were also high for independents and Republicans. Support for Ukraine The majority of Americans—78%—were also in favor of accepting Ukrainian refugees into the US, and 64% had a favorable view of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has emerged as a hero figure over his handling of the conflict. https://qz.com/2139291/most-americans-are-willing-to-pay-more-at-the-pump-for-ukraine/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in the business of making as much money as they can. They don’t have your best interest in mind. They are more concern about the thickness of your wallet. Oil being a global commodity it doesn’t matter how much we produce domestically if the globe is using a shit load and will suck it up.

Just a dumb ass deflection for idiots to follow It won't help Ukraine at all. There are lots of countries lined up to buy Vlad's oil. China and Turkey to name a few. They will buy at somewhat of a discount but when oil is $120+ does it really matter? Not buy a few barrels of Russian oil isn't going to slow down Putin in Ukraine. Once he has control of Ukraine and develops all the oil fields, Europe will be totally dependent on his oil and gas. At the end of the day, the low and middle classes are getting hammered with inflated prices on oil, commodities, food, housing, and transportation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Europe is going heavy into electric transportation which will allow them to become energy independent. Each country over there needs to develop their own electricity sources if they want their independence on energy needs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

France is the only one with a clue. They will have to figure it out. They don’t have much choice on direction…. Me thinks all of Europe should take the France approach on electricity. Your chart doesn’t have percentages but it appears France produced 90% (guessing) electrical needs with non global traded commodities . I don’t think France has much of any fossil fuels production we have an opportunity in North America to figure out where we don’t need to rely on a global traded commodity for our livelihood.
