Way to go, Joltin' Joe.
When Biden took the helm on January 20 2021, gas in the US was $2.40 per gallon
"The national average price for gas has reached $4.86, according to AAA. That’s 25 cents higher than last week and up 59 cents in just one month.

@earl-of-trumps saidWhy? You do realize that Republicans have been blocking progress on clean energy like electric cars for decades, right?

So why is it you "can't wait" for the people blocking clean energy to be in power? They are the very reason why gas prices will continue to rise.

What is stopping him? Does anyone here disagree, and would rather go with marching towards a Green world at the expense of everything else?
Seriously? This would not be intervention in any way. He intervened with the progress of the USA when he pulled the ink pen out of his Barney Fife holster on Inauguration Day.

When people are upset and the current admin cannot fix the problem, many people opt for "the other guy".
Don't matter who caused but let's face it, Joe had his say in the cost pf oil going up.,
@averagejoe1 saidBiden can't "drill here"; he doesn't own an oil company. And oil companies are more interested in jacking up stock prices than actually increasing production:

"As to why they weren't drilling more, oil executives blamed Wall Street. Nearly 60% cited "investor pressure to maintain capital discipline" as the primary reason oil companies weren't drilling more despite skyrocketing prices, according to the Dallas Fed survey.
Only 11% cited environmental, social or governance issues; 8% said they had difficulty getting financing; 15% cited other reasons."

@averagejoe1 saidabsolutely. Biden shut down the oil piipeline coming in from Canada, while at the same time, reopening the pipeline from Russia to Germany that Trump shut down.

Joe has caused problems and if Dems get lopped out of the house and senate, they only have themselves to blame.
@earl-of-trumps saidThe second statement is simply false.

The first is irrelevant to present reluctance of oil companies to increase production:
"The Keystone XL crude oil pipeline wasn’t yet operational when it was canceled in 2021, and wasn’t expected to be running until 2023." https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-895299166310
@no1marauder saidI will agree that oil companies are reluctant to drill, yes. But in that article you posted, *some* companies said if oil hit $120 a barrel they would drill. Guess what... the Saudis raised the cost today to... $120 a barrel. Now let's see.
The second statement is simply false.

@no1marauder saidOoh, Marauder being clever doesn't suit you, and yeah, Biden doesn't own an oil company. When we speak here of 'Biden' in such issues, we of course mean 'as president'. I could have said the President should drill. So, I am saying it now, to liberals who have wadded up panties. Why be so smart about this impt issue, dont get like Suzianne. So, you are a smart guy, entreat us with reasons why the president should not drill for oil to relieve the hell the middle class and poor are going through. I'll keep it simple....re-open his closed pipeline? Geez

@no1marauder saidIn 2018 and 2019 $1.5 billion was spent on the Keystone XL pipeline. Then, Jan 20, 2020 due to an election outside the control of investors, all that investment went up in smoke. With that kind of unpredictability in regards to investment, it's no surprise that oil companies would want to hedge their investments to safeguard their capital positions.
Biden can't "drill here"; he doesn't own an oil company. And oil companies are more interested in jacking up stock prices than actually increasing production:

Tell me why any oil company would risk investing in new production as long as there is a chance a Democrat will become president.
@averagejoe1 saidYou would only submit this post if you don't agree with the threat of climate change.

So, I will ask this.
If a Republican was in the White House today, what would the price of gas be ?
Keeping in mind without undoing any efforts to combat the threat of climate change.
I'll even bring up that the UK has had over $7-8/gallon gas long before COVID and the Ukraine war. As has much of Europe.
What entitles the US to simply go ahead and just disregard our efforts to transform our economy ??
Will Americans just continue to floods their highways with their Dodge Rams ?
Pick-up trucks and large SUV's ?
If you guys are going to continue to go after Biden as the cause of global inflation, at least consider that things would not really be much better with a GOP President.
Unless they come right out and tell their citizens that they don't believe in the threat of climate change.
If you are going to pin the gas prices on Biden, at least tell us where you stand on climate change.
You can't have your cake and eat it too......
