Follow the money and you will see why gas is so high. You are as much an idiot as the last time you were here... Congrats... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold War Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Why are the oil companies so extra greedy just in CA? They could use some Republicans out there to vote for gas gouging legislation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Jimmy Snacks Posted June 2, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 2, 2022 Just saw 4.99 at the local Krist Station…Mobil is still 4.79 but I’m sure they’ll be following suit shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer254 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Let's shut down as many pipelines as possible, then stop any new leases on drilling. That should really help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racer254 Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Gas prices are magically very high in countries deep in the Paris Accord and European Union. Gotta make electric more appealing. They all have a coordinated plan regarding this. Some have a hard time seeing it. Edited June 2, 2022 by racer254 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Skidooski Posted June 2, 2022 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted June 2, 2022 Just wait.....there's more! Quote The immediate reason for the jump in electric rates is that the war in Ukraine has driven up the already high cost of natural gas, which is burned to produce about 40 percent of America’s electricity. And supply chain chaos has made routine grid maintenance and upgrades more expensive. What is particularly worrisome, energy experts said, is that these short-term disruptions could be just the start. They fear that electricity rates will rise at a rapid clip for years because utilities and regulators are realizing they need to harden electric grids against natural disasters linked to climate change like the winter storm that left Texas without power for days last year. Power companies are also spending more on new transmission lines, batteries, wind turbines, solar farms and other gear to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Maybe the Amish have it right with the horse and buggy @spin_dry They want to "harden" the electrical grid also https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/03/business/energy-environment/high-electric-bills-summer.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Follow the money and you will see why gas is so high. The current gas prices and inflation are 100% US govt created with the current sanctions on Russia. That is the truth. If you would have said this when gas prices were $3.50 a gallon before Ukraine I would have agreed with you. But that is not the case right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exxons not going to sell to americans at 50 barrel when they can make 100. Biden is not directly responsible but his admins not oil friendly for sure.
