Liberals Love High Gas Prices Because They're an "Incredible Transition" to Banning Fossil Fuels

Whether Biden and Dimocrats are at fault or not for at least some of the current high gas prices in the U.S. is debatable. We all certainly know that prices began increasing after Biden took office, and well before Russia invaded Ukraine.
The bottom line here is, we all know that Dimocrats and the left in general want to see an end to the use of fossil fuels. They will continue to work to restrict the exploration for it, the extraction of it, and the use of it. This will of course cause prices to increase, not only because the supply will be limited, but oil companies now know that they have a finite time left before they will have to cease operations, and they will naturally want prices high during the time they have left.

Because you only get investment in increased production when the ppb is high.

Why did musk increase production when gas was low?

No it isn't....Their actions drastically reduced the overall supply of crude oil and natural gas.

Fuck those elitist scum.

High energy prices starve the world’s poorest people to death. Democrats have lots of death on their hands.

When did the Democrats buy the oil industry?

Let's be honest, shall we? Many if not most liberals actually love sky-high gas prices because they view them as a painful necessity to "transition" away from fossil fuels. Joe Biden essentially said this a few days ago. He said they're part of an "incredible transition."

Of course, liberals don't care that doing so now is reckless and dangerous, since there's no renewable energy source even on the distant horizon that can replace oil, coal, and natural gas. No plane or cargo truck can run on solar power. No tanker, no armored vehicle, and no helicopter can run on solar power. But liberals don't care about facts; they only care about how a policy makes them feel.

They "feel" good about using billions of tax dollars to subsidize electric vehicles, never mind that 80% of our electricity comes from natural gas, coal, nuclear power, and petroleum. If you drive an electric car, 60% of your "fuel" comes from natural gas, coal, and petroleum, and another 20% comes from nuke p;ower--your "green" vehicle is using lots of fossil fuel and nuke power, but you just don't see it because those sources have already been used to generate most of the electricity that you're using to power your vehicle.

It isn't about transitioning from fossil fuels at all. I have no doubt this is part of transforming America. "The new world order" in more generic terms.

Because it isn't just fossil fuel prices were dealing with that they are causing. There are way too many other things happening at the exact same time. This is a part of something bigger.

Keystone XL would have had an immediate effect on supply. It would likely have been complete by now.

That is really stupid. What else is stupid is the idea that the president sets the global price for a barrel of oil. Don`t tell me I "feel good" about paying more for absolutely everything. The problem is Global. Australia`s conservative president Morrison was ousted in last week`s election because their dumb asses believe it was HE who raised the price of a barrel of oil. Boris Johnson`s conservative party in Great Britain lost several seats a few weeks ago because their dumbfucks think that HE raised the price of oil. Is there an International Union of Idiocy? Everybody seems to have them.

Is Musk in the oil business?

Nobody is saying that, sub-cretin.

What's being said is the the illegitimate, senile, pants-shitting squatter at 1600 Pennsylvania took direct action to very significantly curtail supply, which had the natural and predictable reaction of increased prices in the marketplace.....That price increase is being paid by people who are least able to afford it throughout the world.

Why do you fascistic scum detest those at the lower end of the economic scale so much?

 

[Moonglow]

Why was it not built during Trump if it was so important?

Don't be stupid. Fossil fuels will slowly be phased out over the next 80-100 years. Read about the transition from whale oil.

Remember the stone age didn't end because they ran out of stones.

"Don't be stupid" indeed. Whale oil stopped being used because there was a viable replacement. There is no viable replacement for fossil fuels, not even close, nowhere even on the distant horizon. Yet, you guys have been doing everything in your power to put the fossil-fuel industry out of business--with lawsuits, with drilling bans, with stifling regulations that make it nearly impossible to build new refineries, with cancelling perfectly sane pipelines, etc., etc. And now your efforts are starting to have an impact and are causing sky-high gas prices. Just the other day Joe Biden downplayed the devastating impact of rising gas prices and suggested they are part of an "incredible transition" to the non-existent renewable-energy utopia that Democrats keep promising.

I'm an oil brat from Ghawar and I love Big Oil. The end of whale oil was the first peak oil. We may not get off fossil fuels entirely. We may use it more efficiently and diversify to other forms of energy for other needs. Your tantrums and accusations may be personally satisfying, but they don't help solve anything. Are you a petroleum engineer, chemist, geologist?

not to mention that the poor and even middle class cannot afford to buy some hybrid electric car

couldn't care less

selfish, elitist, more-equal-than-thou bastards

Maybe he's just ignorant.

He would be a lib then.

Many companies make 12-18% profit margins. You can find comparisons by industry online. It's been 6.4% for the oil companies for 40 years.

Consider that Shell, Exxon and others have taken multi billion dollar losses in Russia since their invasion of Ukraine.. and and that's coming in the wake of the COVID shutdown in production and a huge surge in demand world wide.

Americans should be smarter than to make things worse with political attacks and accusations.

Then the left is lying when they cry about the oil companies profits? Good to know, thanks for letting the cat out of the bag.

Utter brainwashing nonsense!

Really? Enlighten us on the availability of alternate energy sources to take over for coal and oil then ObiWan

Sheetz is selling flex-fuel for $1.85 a gallon.

 

[Winston]

None of that obviates anything I said.

"THEY" simply haven't come up with anything -other than nuclear- that is more reliable, efficient, and inexpensive than carbon-based energy sources...If "THEY" had done so, the economic forces alone would have pushed those energy sources aside for the newer ones, the same way that cars supplanted horses.

Wind and solar are now economically viable replacements for fossil fuels​
