Well it happened....$4.00 gas.

[strollingbones]

Energy independence is a myth.

By starting a war in the Ukraine

 

[Carl in Michigan]

I already know the answer, but be sure to let me know once you find it

It appears we still are.

Glad to hear you know it all.

The Google did not tell you that. Why do you need to lie?

 

[1srelluc]

It went up 1-cent in my AO today to $4.01....61-cents in a week.

LOL....I guess they just had to crack the $4.00 mark.

 

[saveliberty]

By limiting supply options. Which Biden did. Next question.

Gas prices above $4 per gallon as Russia-Ukraine war impacts supply, disrupting global market

The U.S. national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline hit $4.009 on Sunday.

www.foxbusiness.com

The U.S. national average for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline crossed the $4 mark for the first time since 2008 on Sunday, up almost 50 cents since Russia invaded Ukraine less than two weeks ago.
Thanks, Biden you cruel bastard . We were energy independent until his is worthless ass got elected.

It is still winter. Demand is up after the whole world is expanding production after Covid. The drop in productions during the 1st six months and not gone back to normal, though greatly improved and production still going up. Oil companies have been waiting for higher profits. They have them and will begin to drill some of the leased properties with proven reserves, they have let set idle under their control and possible restart wells that were producing at low level, now that the price is high. I cannot work up much panic. Kind of fits economics and business coursed I took in college.

Keystone XL pipeline halted as Biden revokes permit

Construction on the long disputed Keystone XL oil pipeline has been halted as U.S. President Joe Biden revoked its permit

How did he do that?

Interrupting our drilling on federal lands. That was day one of his presidency. Closing down the Keystone pipeline project reduced our ability to move oil into the country. Adding regulations that effected small refineries limited refining. Do you live in a cave? This is all public knowledge.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Only to clueless left wing nut jobs.

Nope. Sorry, it is a myth, a lie your party masters tell you to make you feel happy inside and keep voting for them.

As long as we are importing oil and as long as we do not control the price of oil, we are energy independent.

Not to mention the elephant in the room, the US has no oil outside of the SOR, the oil taken out of the ground belongs to the multinational companies that extract it.

It's only going to continue to go up.

You can always buy an all-electric Chevy Silverado soon at a starting MSRP of 105K!
Now there's an option, said very few.

So, a pipeline that was never finished, that would not still be finished had he not stopped it is the reason for higher gas prices?

 

[saveliberty]

BTW, I'm fine with it. Higher gas and oil prices will just drive up food costs and inflation. Inflation is the number one killer of Democrats winning an office.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

And the latest data that the EIA has is for Dec of 2021. Can any verify we still are importing that much as of the start of the war?

Yeppers...

Percent Of U.S. Oil Imports From Russia Highest In Decades — At 3.5%

Some members of the U.S. Congress suggested Thursday that the United States ban oil imports from Russia in response to President Vladimir Putin’s disgusting, inhumane attack on Ukraine.
