This statement assumes there’s no idle capacity in the oil industry right now. Dollar to a donut that if Dufus rescinded the EO he passed two hours after taking office on killing the Keystone Pipeline and eased the restrictions on oil leases, the spot price of oil would drop like a stone.

No way that Biden’s propaganda will sway those that are experiencing this first hand. That’s my hope.

Yep, gasoline in central Indiana topped $4.29 a gallon today, twice what it was last year this time.

Everything is up. Bought only twelve items at the store, spent over $50.00. All of this can be laid at the feet of the stolen elections that put Biden in the WH.

Notice I still don't refer to him as president, I never will!

No doubt they’re right now conjuring the excuse for the recession this is going to cause. Got a sinking feeling it going to be a doozy.

“Why aren't companies bringing back fracking (sic)?”

Fracturing (no K) is a step in well completion after the cemented casing has been perforated in the hydrocarbon producing zone.

Not aware of any company that would spend money drilling a well and perforate only.

Biden’s going to try to blame everything on Russia going into the midterms. The gas prices, inflation, food prices, whatever.

At my station (Marysville, CA) it went from $4.11 to $4.79 in two weeks. It will easily be over $5 this time next week...

While that would be nice, it wouldn’t produce any product for quite some time so the price isn’t likely to change much quickly. We have a shortage of oil/gas. We have a shortage of projects even underway. Many OPEC countries can’t even produce up to their restricted amounts people used to worry about them cheating on and overproducing.

This looks like a blow-off top forming right now, but the drop won’t be massive, supply is short. The current jump is war-fear, not fundamental.

“Drill, baby, drill.”

Why?

To get it shut down again in nine months and lose billions in order to get liberals out of a jam?

It would not drop quickly if the past is an indication, more like 12 to 18 months at a minimum.

I wonder what their BTU value is. The extremely efficient Germans may find out next winter.

I am not seeing any way that a Dem can actually mount any sort of campaign. Biden may have been able to do it from a basement, but that kind of trick will only work once.

> Hmm. No mention of “Trump” in the original article.

No worries, methinks the January 6th committee is working overtime to come up with a way to tie Trump to Putin right now in order to charge him with treason and sedition before the midterms ....

When Reagan deregulated oil it took about 18 months before that changed the market and caused oil prices to crash from about $50 a barrel to $15, and I believe that will happen again, in the meantime until we get a leader ready to move out of the way we may be screwed for the next 2 to three years.

It won't easy for many this summer thanks to Biden's mismanagement.
