    And yet these oil companies you are trying to defend from the evil Oz Biden are sitting on 24 million acres and they have no interest in drilling on this land. Would you like evil Joe to force these companies to drill in order to make your gas cheaper?

    Did you know that the US has 714 oil pumps going right now and that Canada has 88. Did you know that the rest of the world COMBINED has 806. Do you like apples?

    I'm using that as an example to show how easily gas prices can go up. You are acting like the US President's policies don't have the power to affect gas prices, but yet a few platforms shut down from a hurricane increase prices overnight.

    Yet it's being argued in this very thread by one of your counterparts that the US policies can't possibly have the power to affect oil prices.

    I know we are a big oil producer, so I'm not sure what point you think you just made?

    Just on your first link:
    These twenty-five Biden administration policies are raising energy costs
    DEC 4, 2021 BY ABIGALE TARDIF
    Updated on March 7, 2022

    The national average for a gallon of gas for Americans has risen to $4.065, 45 cents higher than just last week.

    See the date? March 7? When did Russia invade the Ukraine? Oh yeah, the week before. Like I said in another post, the price of gas IMMEDIATELY went up 45 cents...does that number look familiar? Biden had NOTHING to do with that despite whatever your link says.

    No kidding the infrastructure isn't there yet. That's probably why you CAN'T get those trucks and tractors you want. What' your point?

    Wtf, it was written in December and updated on March 7th. Sorry, but not gotcha there. Gas prices were already on the rise well before Putin's war.

    Is that really how you think this would work.You think one day gas, the next day you HAVE have electric? How gullible or uninformed can you be.

    Those trucks and tractors would need to be engineered, manufactured, and the grid and infrastructure needs to be in place nationwide for charging. This is no small task and will take decades or more.

    No one has produced evidence of any policies to back that claim. The point is the amount of production we have compared to the rest of the world and yet you think we are STILL not doing enough. I included Canada because we get a LOT of oil from Canada.

    This has happened many times, why do you think it's fiction.

    Fuel prices go down and the costs of almost everything goes down.

    I produced a half dozen links in this very thread, yet you and your leftist counterpart keep claiming no one has produced such. Geez, I give up, you two are DEEP in it. Good night.

    Pay attention please. The update and point given were a 45 cent jump in gas prices from the week before and the week before is the invasion so, yeah, it IS a gotcha because it was that simple fact, the invasion that cause the price jump.

    The ACA didn't hurt American families and that's the reason McCain killed it. The public wanted it.

    Well, YOU brought up the ACA and Trump never tried to "fix" it. He wanted to get rid of it.

    So why didn’t trump ever lower them down to a dollar? That sounds like a good price

    Then it's good thing that Biden's infrastructure bill was passed. Thankfully technology will progress.
