No, both are Jao’s fault.
From the excerpt it would appear that these are problems of their own making — with help from the Brandon administration.
If you want lower energy prices then drill baby drill.
I think Xiden’s intentional reductions in domestic fuel production has far more consequence on our current fuel prices than the Russian war.
ny stopped all fracking. dumb
Joe pretty much campaigned on this issue — the current outcome is what he wanted. Fossil fuels are yucky and they should be expensive and difficult to procure. So that everyone goes Green.
Thanks Joe.
any state that has been voting for Democrats has ZERO sympathies from me regarding energy!
Texas should keep all oil found and refined here!
I’m not a vindictive person....
BUT if because of green-woke virtue-signaling, you refuse to build a simple 400 mile pipeline to the WORLD’S LARGEST gas field in a neighboring state, and instead make it so you must import EU-cost, foreign LNG, on foreign ships.
Then, you really do deserve to suffer.
Any excuse will do.
And a whole bunch of NE brain dead liberals will buy it.
Texas should keep all oil found and refined here!

Well I doubt that Texas uses anywhere near the amount
of oil refined in the state. If it isn’t sold then lots of
people become unemployed.
and gas becomes incredibly cheap here and expensive in liberal states that refuse to drill
From the excerpt it would appear that these are problems of their own making — with help from the Brandon administration.It began long before this administration.
If all had gone according to plan, the Constitution pipeline would be carrying fracked gas 124 miles from the shale gas fields of Pennsylvania through streams, wetlands, and backyards across the Southern Tier of New York until west of Albany. There it would join two existing pipelines, one that extends into New England and the other to the Ontario border as part of a vast network that moves fracked gas throughout the northeastern United States and Canada. For a while, everything unfolded as expected. When the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approved the project in 2014, the U.S. was in the midst of a fracking boom that would make it the world’s largest producer of natural gas and crude oil... Yet the developers did not anticipate landowners, neighborhood residents, community leaders, and anti-fracking activists statewide forging a coalition to kill the pipeline. In a landmark defeat, New York’s Department of Environmental Conservation denied the project’s water-quality certificate in 2016, leading Williams to abandon it in early 2020.
The defeat of the Constitution pipeline marked the start of an uncertain era for interstate pipelines in New York and beyond. The company behind the Northeast Energy Direct pipeline, which would have carried shale gas through New York into New England, abandoned the project just days before the state rejected the Constitution pipeline. In 2017, developers walked away from the Pilgrim pipelines, which would have funneled fracked oil from New York to New Jersey. In May, state officials denied a key permit for the Northeast Supply Enhancement pipeline, commonly referred to as the Williams pipeline, between New Jersey and New York City. - https://grist.org/fix/advocacy/how-activists-shut-down-key-pipeline-projects-new-york/
Simply put, natural gas pipelines that could bring abundant gas supplies from Appalachia’s Marcellus shale region have been blocked at every turn over many years. ..All six New England states rank among the top ten highest electricity rates in the continental U.S...It’s also worth noting that a ban on LNG exports wouldn’t increase the amount of U.S. LNG available to the Northeast. That’s because the century-old Jones Act—which limits trade between U.S. ports to American-flagged ships only—effectively prohibits LNG imports from the Gulf Coast. Instead, New England pays top dollar for cargoes from Trinidad, Nigeria, and occasionally even Russia.-https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/02/18/northeast_pipeline_blockade_delivers_trifecta_of_bad_outcomes_dependence_on_fuel_oil_higher_prices_and_more_foreign_energy_imports_817354.html
increased natural gas pipeline capacity into New England, though clearly the most feasible solution to the region’s electricity shortages, is not going to happen.
Political opposition is the reason, both in the New England states themselves but also in New York, through which most potential pipelines would have to pass. As it is, New York is starving itself of needed gas, and is even less likely to agree to serve as a conduit through which gas moves on to New England states. - https://cei.org/blog/more-new-england-natural-gas-pipelines-needed-but-unlikely/;
“If you want lower energy prices then drill baby drill.”
Yup.
Its all FJB’s fault.
Blame him when you write your exorbitant checks...
Uh, until a couple of years ago, we were energy self sufficient, so no, this is not “Putins Price Hike”.
Nah, Brandon has already taken care of that.
Last time I checked New England is neither in the Ukraine nor in Russia.
