Can someone explain to me, why with all the available gas and oil in this country and now from other countries why the price up esp that there is oil going through the Strait.


The US does not have the refining capacity.

The demand outweighs our capacity. We need to build more refineries. The Eco-Nuts won’t let us do it.

I remember when you’d go to the grocery store, they’d put your groceries in a nice paper bag. Biodegradable. Then the eco-nut lobby came in, and within a few years, it’s now all plastic. Not biodegradable. It our oceans, landfills, bodies...everywhere. Everything the left touches turns to crap....
