Why…why should we?

I was being sarcastic.

The way people are talking in this thread, they expect the government to be running the oil industry.

No they don’t.

What’s the plan to get them back?

Encourage more traditional domestic energy production until cleaner alternatives become economically feasible.

You shouldn’t even have to answer that since he and his democrat party friends ■■■■■■ it all up in first place.

Progs have control of the government

Do they have control of the oil industry?

We had low gas prices…until YOU and your kin ■■■■■■ it all up.

So frustrating they pretend to be so stupid.

Keystone XL would be just about completed by now if not for Brandon on day 1.

Excellent clif notes summary.

They won’t read it.

Better to lug supertankers around the dirty planet.

Not for long.

Could be argued Big Oil is punishing Brandon policy.

How do you like that twist?

When did the US government have control of the oil industry?

When did they have “control” of anything?

Big Oil is sinking Brandons ship. Enjoy the ride.

If it’s a supply and demand problem, the solution would be to increase supply.

Since oil pricing is heavily based on unknown future speculation it makes sense in my opinion to be more openly friendly to the American oil industry. Offer more lenient terms for opening new leases. Tax breaks. Etc.

It would take time to actually get the new supply underway on the global market, but it may placate the speculation market which may help lower oil prices and by extension refined product pricing.

That’s just my guess though. I’m no economist or expert on the oil industry.

Why should any administration in the US control the oil industry?

Why should an essential industry that gets stabbed in the back help prop up a failed president?

I will translate to MEME for you.

I think you are spot on. I’ve been asking where is the administration inviting oil, nat gas, coal, nuclear to the White House asking “what do you need and how can we help it’s time for operation warp speed for energy”.

I’m not saying put government in the energy business but let’s recognize govt controls the the rules, regulations and red tape. I just listened to a segment on Fox talking about potential power supply shortages this summer when it gets hot.

But hey at least congresswoman stabenow (I m sure I misspelled that) got a new Tesla:face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

They ■■■■ it all up and then demand you to tell em how to fix it. Libs just can’t leave ■■■■ alone. Everything they touch they ■■■■ it up…and ■■■■ it up more try to fix it.

Stop doing us any favors libs…please just ■■■■■■■ stop.

lol at a conservative wanting the federal government to be in control of private industry.

The federal government isn’t in control of the oil industry.

Also, oil production has been on a steady climb since the pandemic started to wane. That does not indicate it’s ■■■■■■ up.

Stop denying your/libs/democrat involvement.

How can you get that so wrong?

Repeating nonsense now. The fate of the Dems is linked to Brandon and those skyrocketing fuel costs.

I think we are being used as sport now.
