Consumer Prices are already rising or haven't you noticed the bill at the grocery store lately. As for fuel, it's a supply and demand. And the more we are less dependent on fossil fuels, the less it's going to cost. It won't really do down any further than it is right now. The Oil Companies are trying to Give crude oil away at this point.
Green anything is ten times more expensive, less powerful, less reliable than fossils fuel. Yes, thanks to fracking, we became the worlds largest exporter in energy, and that's hundreds of thousands of jobs that would be lost.
You can't export green energy.
First of all, we use Hydro, Wind and Solar and we produce enough for our needs cheaply AND we export to people like you. We don't even use NG. One town broke an agreement with the State Sponsored Electric Mafia and now purchase their Electicity 20% cheaper. The old company still used coal and used NG. The new company south of them uses NG, Solar and Wind. During peak times, they may use all 3. When the wind isn't blowing (less than 1mph) they use NG and Solar. When the sun is down, they use NG and Wind.
If they had a powercell from Tesla (a really, really big one) they could just use wind and solar and be even cheaper. During the daytime, Solar handles the load with Wind kicking in for excess. And it's like the wind doesn't blow all the friggin time at least 5mph in NM and Colorado. Had they a Tesla Power Cell it could handle the power at night and at peak times. Their population is a whopping 20,000 total for the County. And their power would be even cheaper.
Technology has caught up in small scales. Here's a bit of information, the Power Company doesn't own the lines. They are leased from the County and City. That was part of breaking the agreement.
Biden doesn't want to end Fracking. But he's right. It will phase itself out. As the need for Crude is needed, the less Facking is going to be done until it's just not done anymore. Even with Fracking, our Shale Oil sites are now competitive with the crude sites since technology caught up. One of these days, Shale will outproduce crude for less money. The hand writing is on the wall for Crude just like NG did Coal in.
And I will say this, we have a lot more oil in shale than we ever did or ever will have in Crude. And it's much easier to get to. You don't drill it, you mine it like you strip mine for coal. It's all over the friggin place around here. many would like to see it gone because you can't grow a friggin thing where you have shale. But it's going to around, even if heavily mined, for the next few hundred years.
Then there is the fact you can also use Coal to make crude and we have more than a couple of hundred years of that laying around but Shale is just easier and cheaper to use. The day we don't use Crude anymore, we will still be the largest exporter of Oil in the World. The only difference will be, we will export finished Fuel and Oil Products long after the Middle East, Europe and Russia have run out.
