Exxon Posts Record Profits

But, but, but, you said Biden's cancellation of the sale of new leases caused the gas prices to rise????? That the reduction of drilling on public lands caused the nation to lose its energy independence!!! Now you say that nobody wanted the leases.

You're going to be drummed out of the MAGA Cult for this.

No, biden's horrid foreign domestic polices have been a big part of the rising oil prices. I work for an oil company and know the industry. We rarely ever look at public leases. They're just not worth it.
 
Obviously they have the money to exploit those 7,000 viable unused leases and restart those refineries...but hey...when you can make profits like this just by jacking up the price...why bother
1. It makes no sense to drill a lease that doesn't have much chance of yielding oil. Heck, the ones that do produce take years to develop.
2. It makes no sense to spend the millions or billions of dollars and wait the years needed to overcome the nattering nabobs of negativity to start up a refinery, only to shut it down again when supply once again gets cut. Sure, make it a matter of a few million dollars and maybe a couple of months to start up a refinery and you'd see them popping up all over the place when supply is high and their cost is justified, but remember that there are enough idiots out there using their petroleum derived devices (cars and phone) to stop any refinery activity they can.

We need more refineries, period, but we won't get them as long as it costs billions of dollars and years to build one.
 
What do you expect? They produce a product that they can charge whatever they want for it.
That would require collusion among the companies, and that's illegal. It's also counter-productive, because it would take only one company to start undercutting the others on price to collapse the whole thing. No, they all produce the same product and the global market sets the price on that product.

let's put it this way. Does an individual American farmer set the price of his wheat crop? Answer that, and you'll see why your argument falls apart.
 
Figures you don't know what you are talking about.

And just to make sure you know how much I despise you.

Leshie takes it up the ass, doo dah, doo dah, leshie takes it up the ass, all dee doo dah day!

FOAD.

This is what passes for an intelligent Republican folks. Just look at how high his board ratings are. An illiterate 12 year old is smarter than this.

It's all Leshie deserves.

About what you deserve as well, you old dried up cat lady gonna die alone eaten by your cats canuck twat.
 

THAT is why gas prices are so high

Wanna bet that the people bitching about high gas prices will defend this?


Got things exactly backwards.

Exxon Mobil's profits are high because Biden's gas prices hit a record and were over $5/gallon for a while.


Although its also a factor that Biden's termination of pipelines and exploration and leases helps the short term bottom line as well. All of those things are very costly for oil companies.
 
Noticed you aren't denying it, that's your next step. Some politifact link massaging the statements employing good old Orwellian doublethink.

Fuck off Farkey.
I don’t engage with flaming bags of dog shit.

Address the OP with data, not dog shit.

A record profit, by definition, is the most profit ever made by that company over a given time period.

Explain why prices needed to be that high when there was room for them to be lower.

The OP's screed is dogshit.

"Data".

Explain how a government determined to end the fossil fuel industry can bitch about prices being high.

Again, fuck of Jake Farkey.
