ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — President Joe Biden’s 60-day moratorium on new oil and natural gas leases and drilling permits is prompting widespread concerns in New Mexico, where spending on education and other public programs hinges on the industry’s success.

You’ll be grateful if it only hits $5.
This is true.
Joe’s handler’s are in the energy biz. Joe is going to do everything you can to make sure the price of oil goes through the roof to pay his handlers back
Biden is not president.
If NM has problems they can just go ahead and do it.
Let Alzheimer Joe stop them.
People get the government they deserve.
The average person drives around 16,000 or so miles a year- roughly- give or take- at $2.59 a gallon now, that works out to $1,658 per year for fuel-
at $5.59, which some folks think it will rise to, or higher, that works out to $3,578 p/y,
an additional $2000 almost- to drive the same distance as we can at today’s prices
Gee, thanks liberals!
The economy is on life support, and these jokers are raising core energy prices. Smoot-Hawley 2. It’s not a good time to send shock waves through the economy. Wall St. isn’t reacting well, and big tech is taking huge hits to share values. Time to be in semi-liquid assets that hold value.
And now there is some talk about taxing per mileage you drive a year.

I’d probably look at commodities. It’s wartime.
We grow ‘em stupid down here.
It’s the heat.
In Canada,that $5/gallon wouldn’t be a hakf-bad price. It will probably be $7gallon or so.
that’s some Jim Jones cult-like mentality.
Maybe Joe will get up one day and tell them to drink the Koolaid, then things can get back to normal.
Me too. And half the state would cut off its nose to spite its face.

Hey, that matches the promised stimulus payment.
Lots of Military and two national labs.
All this about the left. They don’t control states through radicalism. It’s demographics with the chronically poor and minorities. Republican arguments don’t reach those people they are behind a wall of awful education and government handouts. And they will elect a corrupt mediocre Democrat over a war hero Renaissance man republican every day of the week.
That’s why you have open borders, drugs, failing schools. To provide the Democrat party with the permanent underclass who couldn’t care less about policy discussions.
They lose jobs, their communities are falling apart and they vote Democrat. The loss of energy jobs will just be shrugged off.
