Perhaps talk some about what is happening to permanently solve the problem?

"Perhaps talk some about what is happening to permanently solve the problem?"

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, government IS the problem.
Apart from nonexistent or nonsensical energy policies,
federal and state taxes on fuel account for far more money than the "obscene profits" of the oil companies. While it looks bad for oil execs to get big perks, politicians and bureaucrats are able to pi$$ away many times more in fuel tax money (which they did ZERO to earn), all the while blaming Big Oil for high prices. And Old Media (which has no trouble cashing advertising checks from Big Oil) nods approvingly.

Any politician not calling for suspension of fuel taxes needs to be told to put up or shut up by constituents.
