Skyrocketing Fuel Prices Just Part of the Lefts plan it appears

"And when it comes to the gas prices, we're going through an incredible transition that is taking place that, God willing, when it's over, we'll be stronger and the world will be stronger and less reliant on fossil fuels when this is over," said Biden.

What an illiterates old fool

This has been discussed for decades. If you don’t like the gas price situation, buy an electric vehicle or work from home. Save the planet, bruh. Liberals are “winning”. Go green!!

liberals arent winning crap. People are seeing their electric bills going through the roof and when the lights start going off because fossil fuel power plants are shut down and solar and wind cant even start to keep up you are going to see politicians change their tune in a heartbeat.

New wind turbine farm north of Joplin is already broken down just as Liberty is wanting 10% increase in rates to pay for "cleaner, cheaper renewable energy investments"

Seems to me if its cleaner and cheaper we should be getting a reduction in rates. Also since they are not allowed to recoup investments until the generating capability is online and useful it shouldnt be allowed at all

If we can trap the heat as you fire off rounds with your AR you could keep your porch warm.

We could be saved from ridiculous gas prices if our own U.S. oil companies would just start pumping from existing wells like they were only a few months ago. The wells didn't dry up, they cut production all on their own. To hell with our economy and the people paying the price for this while just trying to make an honest living. That means NOTHING to big oil!

You are correct they are not a charity to dole out freebies for the greater good. They are in business to make a profit and share that profit with their investors and shareholders. And to try and make their business model as profitable as possible for as long as possible.

No business cares about some Hippie dippy hold hands type of policy for the economic good of the honest people trying to make a living. It's like you actually believe the BS that your Grade school teachers told you was how the world works. Business are about the MOST profit they can make. Simple as that. They are not suppose to care about the individual and his or her plight or suffering. Doing so would harm the Profit margin.

It's the govt job to grease the path to cheap and reliable energy. If you throw up road blocks and Speed bumps to this in front of the supplier of Energy then this is the expected result. This is on the Govt., they need to reverse course and become pro big oil again if you want cheaper prices at the pump. Not complicated at all.

They have plenty of leases to drill on already that they aren't using plus they aren't pumping to capacity on the ones they have working. The pipeline you guys whine about all the time will bring oil from Canada, how does that help our oil producers and share holders get richer?

How come no one can explain and justify the cost of gas right now??? There is no shortage!!

That's simple. Gasoline is worth $4 a gallon. If it wasn't you would not be buying it.
As a Business owner why would I sell my product for less than it is worth??

Why not $40 per gallon?

 

[Toots_mcgee]

The gas companies are doing us a favor keeping it that low. We should subsidize them more.

I guess a gallon of milk and a loaf bread should be $10 each too. Most people would have to buy it so why not them too? You folks saying this is ok because the producers are bound to make a s much profit for their investors are just nuts! Why wasn't gas this high 6 months ago, weren't they bound to make all the profit possible then too?
Maybe you can explain why gas is higher close the the interstate off ramps than it is a mile away? I saw a news reporter yesterday advise people traveling this weekend not to stop at stations near the ramps but drive another mile or two and get gas cheaper. Why aren't the people that set prices near the interstates going to jail for price gouging?

People wouldn't buy at that rate....it's what the market will bear that is paid.

Why is Soda cheaper at a Bulk Grocery Store than at a Convenience store? Same reason that gas is higher closer to the Off Ramps....You pay extra for not having to drive further off the highway. It's simply a Convenience up charge. Have you never noticed in Convenience stores everything is higher...TUMS, Milk, Deodorant etc.

You truly are a commie you want to send people to jail because convenience stores are charging more for providing a convenience. And this isn't a new thing...I thought everyone knew this fact. I mean if you travel you should of figured it out. Here is a article from 2019 explaining this.

Why gas prices vary in the same part of town

Why do gas prices often vary within the same part of town? New research identifies the factors at play.

Simple answer...Big Oil is trying to recoup losses from the C19 downturn as fast and quick as possible now that demand is back up and Biden has declared war on fossil fuels, before he ends their cash cow.
