Gas prices are now the highest they have been since Obama was president. Thank you Democrats. Should the Democrats quit the "Climate Change" BS?

Biden and the Democrats apparently think cars run on fairy dust and unicorn urine. They cancel the American pipeline but approve the Russian pipeline.

Meanwhile, China is building more coal fired energy plants, redoubling their commitment to fossil fuels and laughing at us while we destroy ourselves with this fake climate change BS.

Exactly whose side are the Democrats on?

[Astarlessnightsky]

What climate change bs?



Also maybe consider the world is simply running low on gas or oil in general, higher demand meeting a decreasing supply.

The world demands more and more fossil fuels and the amounts hidden below the surface are decreasing faster and faster.

No wonder prices will increase.

"Also maybe consider the world is simply running low on gas or oil in general, higher demand meeting a decreasing supply"

Running low on gas because Biden and the Democrats shut down American oil and gas production to make us dependent on Islamic terrorists in the Middle East again instead of energy INDEPENDENT which President Trump made us for the first time in 75 years? Yes, that's plausible.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Oil is a finite resource, so it will be gone at some point, and with demands skyrocketing over the last 20 years, not only in NA and Europe but also in China, it would be foolish to think one can continue like this for a long time without any consequences or changes.

I just filled my truck yesterday. Gas has gone up a buck since Biden was inaugurated.

[RingOfFire]

It's the highest gas prices in 7 years. In some places it's over $5 a gallon. What do you expect when the party of war on fossil fuels is in charge?

[exitseven]

I know. The price of everything has gone up. We went out to dinner a coupel of days ago. A typical dinner was about 40 bucks now it wa salmost 60 bucks without the tip. Food at the supermarket is high and building materials are three times what they were.

[RingOfFire]

Two of my neighbors have construction work on their houses that is halted. One of them can't get materials at all and the other is having a dispute with the contractor because he said the materials costs QUADRUPLED and he will be bankrupt if he finishes the job at that cost.

[exitseven]

I have a sun porch that I have closed in a couple of years ago. I wanted ot finish it this summer but I prices the stock and it was almost 5 grand. I will wait until next year and see what happens.

[RingOfFire]

Construction materials have skyrocketed since Biden took office. A friend of mine is an electrician. Things he paid $160 for a year ago are now $500 or more.

[exitseven]

i am worried about how this will all end up.

[RingOfFire]

If anything even close to the budget proposal Biden announced on Friday passes, I can assure you it will not end well. It's the most irresponsible, radical, dangerous budget in US history. If anything even close passes you ain't seen nothing yet on prices. We will become Venezuela.

[exitseven]

I don't know if it will be that bad but I worry about the future.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO

Supply can't keep up with demand, causing prices to increase. The whole world would benefit from steam technology.

[RingOfFire]

Maybe if Biden would stop preventing the supply from increasing by canceling US pipelines, shutting down drilling operations, and waging a war on gasoline when there is no replacement available there wouldn't be a supply problem. Why weren't there any supply problems when President Trump was in office? He made us energy independent for the first time in 75 years with some of the lowest gas prices ever. Now this president is undoing it all and making us dependent on Middle East terrorists again who want to kill us for our energy supply. Yeah... makes a lot of sense.

[RingOfFire]

You are right, by the way. That is the problem. The question is WHY is there so little supply. And that's the question I answered.

[RingOfFire]

Ever try running a car on steam? How about solar? How about a windmill? The ONLY viable way to run cars is on gasoline. People don't even want electric cars because they suck. They have been around for decades and no one wants them. Plus their batteries and motors are manufactured in CHINA, the electric doesn't come from fairy dust, it has to be produced in an electric plant and 60% of them run on FOSSIL FUEL (most of the rest on nuclear which these stupid climate changers also don't want). What they want is for you to live in a cave and eat mushrooms. by the way... between battery and motor manufacturing and disposal and the pollution to create the electric electric cars create MORE damage to the environment than gasoline.

But FEELINGS. Remember that's why the Orange man isn't allowed to be president. He hurt feelings so the way you live your daily life needs to change because were handing out money left and right and raising the debt to insane levels. But on the bright side peoples feeling should be at an all time high as they collect there unemployment checks.

[Anonymous]

all of the big environmentalist politicians are guilty of things like Al Gore was. Using private planes, heating and cooling multiple mansions while no one was living there. Being driven around in Chevy Suburbans which get 8 MPG...

[RingOfFire]

You're right, they're all frauds.

[Opinion Owner]

From an article about Gore's Carbon Hypocrisy:

Then how does Gore explain the rather large amounts of electricity he uses to power his 10,000-plus-square-foot home.

A new analysis by the National Center for Public Policy Research found that Gore's Tennessee home "guzzles more electricity in one year than the average American family uses in 21 years."

In one month last year, the report found, Gore's home consumed more electricity than the average family uses in 34 months.

The electricity used just to heat Gore's swimming pool would power six homes for a year.

And this is after Gore spent tens of thousands of dollars installing "green" upgrades, which he was embarrassed into doing when his energy-hogging home first came to light a decade ago.

In fact, according to the NCPPR report, Gore's home used more electricity last year than it did in 2007, before he installed all those energy-reducing features.

and it goes on and on and on

[mrkdvsn]

Of COURSE they should "quit the climate change" nonsense. We all know that CC is not a valid concern, but these evil people have ulterior motives to deliberately destroy the lives of middle-class conservatives

[acooke-13]

It's going up everywhere, not just in American. We are running out, that's why it goes up.

[RingOfFire]

Running out? 😂😂😂

Sounds like the "Peak Oil" quacks of the early 1900s who predicted we would be out of oil by 1920.

Baloney. There are more oil reserves now than at any time in history. Technology keeps making more reserves accessible that we could never access before. The only thing that is stopping production are these "climate change" idiots who are killing production and causing the prices of gas to skyrocket.

[acooke-13]

Yep, exactly what I thought until I did a degree in Petroleum Engineering.

[RingOfFire]

You are full of crap.

[RingOfFire]

The United States produced more oil in 2019 than at any other time in its history. Thanks to President Trump the US became energy independent for the first time in 75 years and became a net exporter of oil. We no longer had to depend on these Middle Eastern Muslims who hate us and want to kill us. Now Biden is REVERSING THAT, shutting down pipelines and shutting down oil production to once again make us dependent on these Muslim barbarians.

[acooke-13]

@RingOfFire you only see me as full of crap because you are obviously uneducated in this subject, which is fine, we can't all know everything, right.

[RingOfFire]

No YOU are uneducated. Before Biden shut down oil production in the US over this fake climate change bullshit America was producing more oil than at any time in its history and was completely energy independent. The oil is there, but these communist America haters are keeping us from using it.

[RingOfFire]

Sounds like you were brainwashed by these fake commie "scientists" selling fake "science."

[acooke-13]

@RingOfFire never heard something so dumb. The Americans are the brainwashed ones, idiots EVERYWHERE.

[RingOfFire]

We'll see who the dumb ones are when the game is over.

[acooke-13]

@RingOfFire but you just told me it'll never run out, so how would it ever be over? Looks like we already have a winner ;)
I also read an article the other day titled 'America 'dealing with a deadly strain of stupidity' - I will try find it again and link it for you :)

[RingOfFire]

Envy will get you nowhere. We should have let the Nazis take care of your shithole country instead of saving your asses. You'd be doing the goosestep today and chanting Heil Hitler if it wasn't for us.

We saved your asses twice and rebuilt your entire continent sacrificing our blood and treasure so that you could walk this earth today. Now that we know what ungrateful bastards your are, the next time you are in trouble, you can eat our shit. We'll see who the idiots are then.

[acooke-13]

@RingOfFire oh here we go. Can't think of anything else to say so tries to insult me, your fragile masculinity is showing pet.
Plus, that'll never happen because your president loves us :) Thanks for electing him!

[RingOfFire]

He's not going to be president for long. He is a feeble minded old man on his last legs and might not even make it to the end of his 4 year term without ending up in a nursing home.

[acooke-13]

@RingOfFire Coming from the same guy who I bet said 'Biden will never win' Get used to it sunshine.

[RingOfFire]

We'll see who wins.

[acooke-13]

@RingOfFire We already did. Google the President, there's your answer.

[EnglishEuropean]

Gas prices are linked to production and demand. They have nothing to do with Democrats or climate change.

You don't like it? Get an electric car.

[RingOfFire]

Supply and demand. Is that why Biden and the Democrats are choking off our supply of gas?
Electric cars are BS. Where do you think the batteries and motors are made? THAT'S RIGHT COMMUNIST RED CHINA. And manufacturing and disposing them creates more harm to the environment than fossil fuel run cars. And where do you think the electric comes from? Fairy dust and unicorn urine. If comes from COAL AND FOSSIL FUELS.
