“Families need relief from the continual high prices of food and gas.”
Oil and gas are basic inputs to our economy, that effect the cost of almost everything.
Higher supply means lower prices for individuals and businesses across the whole country - everybody.
Other factors will come and go effecting gas prices, but this rising US production is the 800 lb gorilla among them - and it works to keep gas prices down.
I hope it turns out the way you said. On talk radio (maybe Fox Business radio?) a few days ago, it was mentioned the reason prices were going up was because OPEC’s action of cutting production in late 2016 was just now starting to have a real effect. There’s always an excuse.
Maybe I misunderstood the comment,,I was driving at the time and not full attention given to the radio. I hope I heard it wrong.
