    Keystone and others as have already been listed.

    So what? Why should the rate increase at all especially when we need MORE DRILLING. HIS Department of Interior.

    I have already cited he is in court fighting and once again a lease is not a PROVEN reserve.

    Yes he told them don't engage in an oil trade war. What was the price of oil then and what is it now.

    You can have your own opinions, but you do not get your own facts.

    Beyond fuel costs, Russia is a major exporter of wheat and fertilizer.

    Costs will rise on both.

    Anyway...
    From 3.29 to 4.25 in a Week...

    Hopefully, it won't get so bad people start to think that 4.99 is Cheap Gas...

    Fuel prices were rising long before Putin went into Ukraine.

    I pay over 5 a gallon and saw 6.99 today.

    Okay. Thanks for the correction. I was reading a research paper where a company and people were pooling their leases, but it was worthless cause there was no infrastructure to transport it across certain areas. Trucking it would have been risky given the margins. Then there was a situation in which they had the lease, but they knew immediately that they would not be able to build the infrastructure in that location. But I really just wanted to create a list of projects that Democrats killed, and I want to find a document with mining projects for green energy metals. I'm going to use it on my show.

    LNG AND OIL PIPELINES SHELVED OR CANCELLED
    Keystone Pipeline
    Atlantic Coast Pipeline in NC, VA, WVA (LNG)
    Mountain Valley Pipeline in VA and WVA
    PennEast Pipeline Cancelled by NJ (LNG)
    Biden wants to cancel the Enbridge Line 5 WI/MI (Oil)
    Line 3 Oil Pipeline Minnesota
    Alaska’s LNG Pipeline
    Dakota Access Pipeline Shutdown
    The Permian Gas Pipeline in TX had to fight legal battles
    Jordan Cove LNG Terminal and it’s connector, The Pacific Connector Pipeline, were opposed by leftists
    Biden Cancelled the EastMed Pipeline from Israel, Greece, and Cyprus

    Brandon is sending envoys to Venezuela and Saudi Arabia to beg them for oil.

    Nope. Although if we were as you suggest, then I'd think ByDumb a traitor and Unamerican to be using our tax's to fund both sides of the Ukrainian conflict and also Russian military! Also "from what I hear" giving the Iranians a GREAT deal, lifting many of the sanctions in trade for foreign oil. Our retarded President is walking us backwards to a time where OPEC and murderous regimes had us bent over a barrel "Of Oil" economically..

    Todays DNC is by far the greatest threat to the U.S. in a very long time...

    Keystone XL was shut down by the Supreme Court. NOT Biden. AND, it was only a “short cut” that was proposed to the pipeline. The Keystone Pipline was, and is currently, running at FULL capacity. Keystone XL, moves Canadian oil to the Gulf of Mexico to be refined and shipped to East Asia. Keystone has no effect on US gas/oil…NONE…


    If we need more drilling then WHY aren’t the oil complainers drilling on lands that they are already paying leases on ?


    BS. That is RW mahamba jamaba. Oil companies do their research BEFORE they pay millions, and in some cases BILLIONS for those leases. I don't care if Joe does or doesn't lease new federal lands, I honestly don't, but if there is all this land out there that is currently leased and NOT being used, then why do we need more ? How does that solve anything ?

    No he didnt. He got OPEC to REDUCE PRODUCTION. Thats just a fact. And that deal is still in place today. That in itself will raise prices….supply and demand an all of that basic economic stuff that the Stable Genius threw out….

    • Permit the use of preexisting approved leases in ANWAR (Alaska) to put more volume into the Alaskan oil pipeline that is severely underutilized.
    • Finish the Dakota access pipeline.
    • Re-approve the preexisting energy leases in New Mexico, Arizona, NE Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico.
    • Retract the stoppage of the Keystone pipeline to permit efficient oil transport shipments from Canada.
    • Stop blocking the expansion of coastal oil refineries in Texas, Louisiana and Alabama (regulatory issue), as well as Northwest, Northeast and Southeast Seaboard.
    • Continue to develop natural gas as a clean burning fuel.
    • Drive Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an export.

    Come on guy, let Keystone rest. Its sole purpose was to carry canadian tar-sand oil to Texas for exportation to China. It never ever was for the US market as tar-sand oil is just about good enough to make asphalt and plastic. At most it would've provided about 100 long term jobs in the USA. What you want for fuel is light crude or brent.

    There's also nothing prevent the US producers from increasing production, nothing except the fact that they can profit from the situation. Capitalism at it's finest.

    "Gas is too expensive."

    Have you ever compared a gallon of gas to a gallon of milk and wondered which would be harder to get if you had to do it yourself?

    I know this is just one anonymous person's opinion, but I think gas should be more like 10-20 bucks a gallon to reflect the true cost of what it takes to get it and protect the supply chain. I know your Coal Rolling Yellow Snake Person Dodge Ram needs a lot to keep up with your wilting manliness Meal Team Six personality parade, but higher gas prices are the first thing that gets you all to see how toxic this economy actually is. This is one of the foundational layers of our economy that we need to change if we have hope of growing as a civilization.

    Back to your regularly scheduled demagogic programming...

    Now that the political science has determined that Covid is over, I'm seeing many companies making the "get them back in the office" move, and it's perfectly coinciding with the price of gas skyrocketing.

    It's going to be the double whammy of a bunch of Covid hermits getting dragged out of their happy place wombs, getting smacked in the face with the harsh reality of the real world workaday grind, and that'll be combined with the added bonus of insane commuting costs.

    Only the most delusional and Trump-warped will refuse to acknowledge that Team Joe is the obvious culprit responsible for feeding them the poop sandwich they're about to eat.

    But, no!
    Here's what the traitors in the Brandon Administration have planned in their America Last Agenda:

    • Forget/reject everything you posted, stifle U.S. oil and gas production and make lame excuses for continuing to stifle U.S. oil and gas production, despite all the good it will do for America, Ukraine and our allies and the harm it will do to Russia, Iran, Venezuela, etc.
    • Keep paying for Putin's war against Ukraine, the West and America by continuing to buy Russian oil
    • Crawl back into bed with the "Death to America!" crowd in Tehran so they can get off sanctions and help Putin evade sanctions
    • Beg the anti-American Stalinists in Venezuela for oil

    At most three of those would - eventually - add to the global oil supply. How much volume would those measures add, what effect do you think it would have on price, and when?

    My point is that no president can magically flip a switch and change global oil prices.

    Probably all of them would eventually add to the oil and gas supply, and because it will take time, the time to get started is now.

    Unless, of course, you think Brandon and his party should continue to hold the American people and our allies hostage to their eco-socialist agenda. No doubt, Putin, Xi, Khamenei and Maduro think they should.

    The bottom line is we were a net exporter, Biden flipped the switch. Why would anyone want to buy dirty oil that funds terrorist or Russian wars? The left doesn't get it both ways here, you either support terrorist/Putin wars or you're supporting hurting the middle class and poor to push green policies. It's that simple, those are the options.

    Ohhh - you might want to check your facts a bit. When Trump took office America was a net exporter in the region of 4 million barrels per day. By the time he left office, America was a slight importer.

    You can’t blame Biden for that.
