To all you pro oil folks out there.

You have doubts?

Yes, I have doubts there is such a thing as an "artificial price increase".

When someone increases a price, do they use an (*) to denote "artificial"?

I saw gas today at $5.54.....is that due to "natural" price increases? How can you tell?

When Obama took office there was only 278 US oil drilling rigs operating, rising to 703 when he left.

When Trump took office there was only 703 US oil drilling rigs operating, falling to only 287 when he left, doubling US imports from Russia.

When Biden took office there was only 287 US oil drilling rigs operating, rising every month to 574 currently. US oil refinery inputs & outputs have been rising every week.

Obama must have been very sad about that.

Biden is awesome!
What regulatory change or new legislation did he use to increase the number of rigs?

President Biden's policies didn't cause the price of oil to rise. That was OPEC and the other oil producing nations who cut production after oil prices briefly went negative in 2020. Those same nations refused to increase production as demand began to rise. US producers don't take orders from the government like those nations, but still market forces caused US production to drop. Active drilling rig count drop to it lowest, again in 2020.

US price is currently at $4.23 as far as I can see. It looks like you witnessed an artificial price increase of about $1.31 today.

It's been well over $5 before today. Without an (*)

Groomers are trying to force Americans into electric cars then lock them down with power outages. This is why they are banning small generators.

Everything happening to Americans now is being done to them deliberately.

Another incredible rightwing “conspiracy theory,” primitive and childishly ignorant, filled with obsession and paranoia.

He moved them back the to Obama level of regulations. During Obama's 8 years US oil production rose by over 4 mbd.

Biden increased regulations on oil? His increased regulations caused production to increase?

During Obama's 8 years US oil production rose by over 4 mbd.

That's awesome! What did Obama do to help? Anything specific?

Commodities investors (that actually control the price of fuel) could care less about the number of refineries. Their investments are based on oil and gasoline production. The next thing to look at is what are the refineries doing under this administration?

Higher gas prices for American families

Retail fuel prices are at an all-time high, and as we move toward summer, we can expect them to continue to rise. This is an overwhelming problem for my constituents in Wyoming and for people acros…

Yall need to stop complaining about Biden and what you think he's done to increased gas prices. Biden is doing the oil companies a favor. Record profits with little overhead.
So if you're going to continue to be pro big oil, yall need to stop complaining about the price. It's a free market economy, and if the oil companies get to make $100 billion just in the 1st quarter, then you should all be proud. In fact, I'd advise you all to buy extra gas cans and fill them all up. Buy it and give it away to those who can't afford it.

You know, just to show your support for big oil.

Biden doesn't do nothing for nobody who doesn't fork over millions to satisfy his damn greed and lust for little girls, hush money, power, and avoidance of paying for his crimes against the people of the United States of America.

You're 100% correct. Anyone who doubts that to be true is a major part of the problem!

With gas prices going up 3-5 cents on the dollar EACH DAY, Biden isn't doing jackshit. Sorry.

Going up world wide. How did Biden do that?

Another clueless post since the Oil Industry doesn't set the Benchmark price.

The main cause of the oil supply increase in Obama's second term was done on STATE land where he couldn't prevent it.

 

[MarathonMike]

Under Trump gasoline was $1.96....didn't see any anti-oil folks cheering starving big oil of profits.

Thread fail.

It's incredible what Libs will come up with to make excuses for Biden.

Looky here . . . yet another democrat make believing he's a republican. You're not fooling anyone. Please put another dime in the jukebox and make another selection. That's right all you fellow conservative folks out there, do what the man says: self-flagellate for big oil; not.

The map shows Chicago is way above the US average. If there is no explanation why the Rust Belt and California are so expensive while other urban centers aren´t, you have to go with "artificial price increases".

Even more incredible what liberals masquerading as conservatives (the OP) will come up with to dupe real conservatives into seeing things from their point of view.
