When President Obama was in office gas prices soared to more than $5/gal. When President Trump took office he unleashed the energy sector and we became energy independent for the first time driving gas prices down. Now reports of the current JoeBama policy impact show gas prices likely to top $4.00/gal next year.
WASHINGTON – […] Since Election Day, gas and crude oil prices have jumped. In the United States, gas prices are up 18% and oil nearly 50%.
Said another industry expert, “In four years, we had made the U.S. energy independent and denied the bad guys the ability to control global oil prices. The Democrats undo it in two weeks. Just incredible.”
Many of Biden’s first moves were directed at radically cutting the chances for further global warming. Several will kill jobs.
Every department has been ordered to factor climate change into their moves. In addition, he suspended new drilling leases on federal lands, restricted U.S funds in worldwide carbon energy programs, eliminated “fossil fuel subsidies,” stopped the Keystone XL oil pipeline construction, and slapped a moratorium on federal leases in Arctic Wildlife Refuge.

Higher fuel prices disproportionately hits the working class. In addition to higher cost to fill-up your tank, transportation costs increase and raw material costs increase. The downstream impact of increased oil prices are significant.
Economic and foreign policies that return to an era of OPEC dependence are favored by those who push the “climate change” agenda. Those who support energy independence understand that U.S. foreign policy is able to retract when we are not dependent on other nations for our fuel and raw materials. It is all connected.
Pretty much every time I see what the JoeBama regime is doing, I’m reminded of Ricky Roma from Glengary Glen Ross when he went on that epic rant: “You were hired to HELP – US! NOT – TO.. F’K US UP”
It’s clear to me they ain’t helping us, at all.
You only dislike Uncle Joe because he is not intelligent, he is not intuitive, he is not insightful and he is not sane..
He’s also not running the show.
^^ THIS!!! ^^
Yesterday upon the stair
I saw and heard a man whose brain wasn’t all there
Even less of it was there today
Oh, how I wish Joe Biden would just go away
I dislike him because he is a fraud and represents the end of our Republic. I also dislike him because of all the people standing around supporting him that should know better.
“all the people standing around supporting him that should know better.”
They KNOW.
They DO NOT CARE because they figure that they will be exempt from the carnage they cost. They have visions of skating away with pockets stuffed with cash.
I dislike Joe because he has people discard or kill children, because he doesnt want to get caught for what he just did with them.
Exactly WB–people need to know the depth of evil these demons are capable of–Biden apparently sexually abused his own children-and how many others who knows. When this comes to light, the sexual trafficking and abuse of infants and children by the ruling class–people will flock to an alternative party.
their taste is just a menu in asian countries.
“When this comes to light, the sexual trafficking and abuse of infants and children by the ruling class”
Been known for years, so good luck with that. They control the media that the vast majority of people consume.
For the most part, we are “preaching to the choir” here.

Rapper Struggle Jennings (Jessie Colter’s grandson and Waylon Jennings step grandson) has a great song about the mess in America. Caitlynne Curtis sings on the song also.
One line is…… Children are being molested
Why is no one being arrested
Then it shows Struggle Jennings carrying a battered child
Wow, sounds like a great, but sad, song.
I’ll have to go check it out. . .
And then there’s also the fact that he is not the elected President. But to be completely honest, I didn’t like him before that.
When utopia meets reality.
Pelosi also threatening to add $15 minimum wage to covid deal. Illegals streaming across southern border. You know tax increases are right around the corner too.
I seriously hope these people are stupid and not simply evil.
Wicked is the correct answer.
I would use Ellis Wyatt’s word, they’re evil.
playing to Satan.
You betcha.
If tax increases come, it’ll have to be in some covert form because the last tax reform was signed and sealed for years to come. But I don’t put it past the Uniparty to put the squeeze on us — oh how they like to wrench us in the vise grip.
They just might tax the income you haven’t made yet.
They can come all they want,only the gov workers will be paying ,everyone else will be on welfare.
can we get a state legislator to say we wont tax that fuel? how does Biden control taxes?
Evil people in an evil city.
They spent nearly 100 years getting here, we are now in their end game, they are EVIL there is no question.
Ppllleeeaaassseee… dont even suggest ignorance. Stop it. The progressive liberal left have a calculated evil agenda. Let’s call it and them what it and they are.
They are evil and everything they do is calculated
Who’s John Galt?
I am!
Anyone else?
I am.
Biggest tax on the working class, ever. Bar none.
I have saved so much money under “America first, energy independence” Trump policy.
And I don’t even drive for a living, just to get to work or work destinations.
The Trump Presidency was America at its finest. Those were some good times. Went straight to hell in less than a year and the bastards are just getting started. We have to be punished and punished good.
At some point it is going to happen. There will be a reckoning that will rival the Civil War. There is no way that millions of people with guns are just going to sit back and watch while everything they value is taken away from them. I do not want to see blood in the streets at all. I would much prefer peaceful civil disobedience. But the Commies are leaving us no choice.
Seneca, you are right. We didn’t ask for this.
But if they start it, we will finish it…and they’ve already started…..
Went straight to hell in less than a month, actually.
I wholeheartedly agree.
I don’t blame the Dims, I blame the other side of the Uni-party the Repuks in the states that had the opportunity to prevent this. Every state that sat by and allowed this JoeObamaination to occur is to blame.
Including mine. WI. What a weak and pathetic group of state houses that did nothing to prevent this. Start turning it on them. I have. Let your state reps know they have blood on there hands as this disaster is unfolding.
Yes, they do have blood on their hands.
What really needs to be done is to DOX those legislatures who threw us under the bus. It is time for us to show them the heat.
I’m surprised it hasn’t happened already.
This is the result of the Repuks, and it is good:
https://www.theepochtimes.com/70-percent-of-republicans-would-consider-joining-trump-led-third-party-poll-finds_3693713.html?utm_source=newsnoe&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2021-02-11-3
More than two-thirds of Republicans would join or consider joining a new political party if former President Donald Trump were to start one, a CBS News poll suggests.
Thirty-three percent of Republicans participating in the survey, conducted between Feb. 5 and Feb. 8, said they would join a Trump-led breakaway party. Another 37 percent said “maybe” they would join the new party, while the remaining 30 percent said they would stay with the Republican Party.
……
When it came to the Republican support of the second impeachment effort against Trump, 71 percent of Republicans chose the option given saying it was “disloyal” for party members to vote in favor of the former president’s impeachment or conviction, compared to 29 percent who chose the option saying it was “principled” to do so.
I changed my party affiliation and won’t vote or lift a finger unless I hear from Trump or other trusted MAGA source. They can wait for the glaciation of hell before I wait on a poll line to vote for a RINO. If we can’t stop the Democrats (with the fixed voting) then at least we can expurgate RNC/GOP hypocrisy, by making them non-entities. That at least is something to feel good about.
44 Republican senators voted not to have former President Trump’s second impeachment trial.
Every disgusting DEMOCRAT senator and the DEMOCRAT vice president voted to have this insufferable political exercise.
The democrats are sick. Trump tried to help them and democrats attacked him rabid dogs…
Thank you. Its really critical we do not lose sight of WHO is truly most dangerous to the very survival of the Republic– the fascist/marxists Dems who ideologically fundamentally hate America and INTEND to destroy our freedom.
Give them control over state legislatures and leftist/dems WILL destroy the US Constitution itself.
Most probably really are sociopaths. Their minds do not even function as honest, reasonable, decent human beings… and they do not even realize who they are themselves.
Pelosi is a good example– her hair dresser issue w/no mask… her ice cream issue. She simply BELIEVES she is entitled to RULE over us.. but does not need to obey the laws she imposes.
Same for all the climate change hypocrites — using vast amounts of energy for their private jets, yacht, several enormous homes… yet tell us we must lower our thermostat to 65 and take the bus to work b/c WE must sacrifice the little we have to save the planet while THEY use 10,000x more than their fair share of energy.
You pretty much need to be a psychopath or sociopath to be INCAPABLE of seeing their own extreme injustice, hypocrisy and cruelty. They just don’t care.
Your last sentence is the truth. They DON’T CARE!
From wikipedia…the basics are on target…especially in the last sentence.
Social exchange theory is a sociological and psychological theory that studies the social behavior in the interaction of two parties that implement a cost-benefit analysis to determine risks and benefits. The theory also involves economic relationships—the cost-benefit analysis occurs when each party has goods that the other parties value.[1] Social exchange theory suggests that these calculations occur in romantic relationships, friendships, professional relationships, and ephemeral relationships as simple as exchanging words with a customer at the cash register.[2] Social exchange theory says that if the costs of the relationship are higher than the rewards, such as if a lot of effort or money were put into a relationship and not reciprocated, then the relationship may be terminated or abandoned.[3]
The cost benefit relationship, involving Main Street, was not enough for the RNC..
Enemy #1 is Mitch McConnell with Paul Ryan a close second. And screw you Mike Pence
And let us not forget the Pentagon..
Complicit also.. doing nothing..
But But But.. wasn’t our military hero Vindman at the first impeachment offered a very high post in the Ukraine government…
Perhaps the pentagon generals have been offered position in the Chinese Army..
MAGA
It doesn’t affect Democrat voters. They either don’t have cars, are rich, live on welfare, or make inflated government salaries – and most of them are getting paid to sit home right now.
This affects rural residents, tradesmen, people in the middle of the country without public transit.
That’s who the policies are designed to hurt.
Exactly, precision targeting.
They accept any reality given to them and feel good being righteous (aligned to being told whats good on tv)
They dont see those jobs you mention, they dont think its bad to not know they exist. they are trained to be the citizens of the world without you.
You are marked for Death (Crispin Saint)
Satan cloned himself and spread the clones into positions of power worldwide.
It will eventually hit them. Food prices will go up, entertainment prices will go up, consumables prices will go up and so will clothing prices. They will eventually see it, it may not affect the rich, but the others will feel it eventually.
psssst, if you just get 30 people like you within 20 miles… you can stop any cop, any federal event, any army..
just 30 peopel showing up within 15 minutes of alteraction can make anyone back up…
Yes it will. To mitigate the higher costs for our side we must entertain ourselves, take care of our existing items, maintenance them ourselves, do without if possible, buy second hand, plant a garden, make group buys to buy in bulk and save, unplug and spend time with family and friends, etc. Becoming more frugal, self reliant, and some sacrifice we can mitigate much of the hurt.
Stop and think – do we really need all the items we purchase?
But it will be blamed on Trump,Obama blamed Bush for 3 years with the help of the media.no way to stop it.
Nope. Biden owns the Keystone sell out. We were independent before Biden. Biden owns it free and clear.
I’m afraid they are frogs and don’t recognize the pot or the warming water
Food prices, gas prices, household items, already have gone up. Everything has gone up.
That’s inflation on the demand/supply side.
Factor in a failing USD $ and soon we get Zimbabwe /Weimar German Republic style inflation.
Get a wheelbarrow full of cash ready for that loaf of bread.
About Dec 2021, the real sweating will start…prior to May 2022, we will have achieved ‘Jimmy Carter’ Status…ala 1976-1980 and stagflation….save your money…you are going to need it.
Hey sometimes I feel like crying especially when I KNOW FULL WELL that this election was stolen. Biden and the Dems won nothing. We should not be facing these evil times. We did not vote for this. We won that election. President Trump should be our President.
I empathize with you magatrump!!! We live in very frightening evil times! The most frustrating thing for me is all the people who ignore our new reality/ nightmare!
Give it about a year before progressives discover the oligarchic IC establishment does not need their vote either. (lol)
Fraudulent elections have consequences, and with a few exceptions, the BIG club was supportive of it.
Gas prices began going up as soon as they realized Joebama was absolutely going to be inaugurated! In my area they’re up avg of 40 cents a gallon! And it’s only 3 weeks since inauguration! No surprise! He’s doing exactly what he said he would!
Gas immediately went up after Xiden was installed. Now it’s $2.50. I expect $4.00 in just a few months or sooner
It is $4 right now in Cali. Personally I operate in an industry that is reliant upon cheap fuel. What is crazy is all the “industry insiders” who are blind to the pain that is coming. As for me I am moving fast to consolidate and go Galt.
He’s doing exactly what President Trump said he would do. biden hid in he basement and did what joy Reid said “hide your policies until you are elected” then hit the deck running.
Biden didn’t have anything to hide, as they’re NOT his policies. They are the creation of the swamp. Of all those Executive Orders Biden signed after taking office he authored none of them. Question; What will Biden do as President? Answer; Exactly as he is told.
By Obama
As interpreted by Susan Rice.
And you can bet these prices are coordinated between suppliers..
The chances of price fixing investigations
ROFL..
Same here in S.C. Going up every week since before election.
It gets me, the ones who act surprised. They absolutely said they were going to do these things.
Of course they did. It was what the ignorant useful idiots wanted to hear.
What is coming, economically, socially, personally, will be more than surprising. It will be devastating.
Unfortunately, the cost of this will be borne by future generations. Call it “Generational Slavery”, because that is what onerous taxation will be, to pay for all the free stuff.
Pixie dust won’t pay for the impacts of ignoring the effects of reality.
Reality wins every time. Reality is Just, Unfeeling, Unstoppable, Unrelenting.
That is why Reality is to be both respected and feared. Kind of like God’s Laws.
That’s if we have any generations going forward.
This vaccine is killing an estimated 2 % of the people getting it.
Some people it causes sterilization.
Gotta wait a year and see what the long term fallout will be.
So the experimental ‘vaccine’ is more dangerous than the virus.
IF I get any vaccine, I’m waiting for the Johnson&Johnson vaccine. At least it isn’t the Frankenstein mRNA vaccine from Pfizer or Moderna.
Better off to take vitamin D3 daily, HCQ or Quercetin + Zinc at the first sign of infection, or Ivermectin. At least they work and don’t change your DNA.
If you want a “belt and suspenders”, include Budesonide corticosteroid inhaler or nebulizer.
Nobody knows the long term effects of the mRNA vaccines. I’m not up for them.
Folks we have to come to a great realization. The Real And Still Your President Trump did most of his pro America policies via Executive Orders. Now being undone by the CCP installed Body Snatcher In Chief with his own Excecutive Orders. Yeah I get that he had a bunch of spineless cowards in his Party.This isnt how a Republic should run. We go through this gut wrenching turmoil every 4 years wondering if we will be able to keep our rights depending on who occupies the Oval Office.Its clear Americans hate each other. Now these Satanic DemCong Pedocrats want to restrict travel to a state and economically destroy it.Theres no fixing this and theres no living alongside those people. Time for a divorce.
The sniveling weasel will get his most important priorities through congress because congress believes in letting whomever occupies the White House deference unless it’s was Trump. They forced him to work by EO so it could be undone. They did exactly what they said under their breath “we’ll just hold out until Trump is gone”. The only thing the sniveling republicans did was almost guarantee they will never be in the majority again nor sit behind the resolute desk. We do need to part ways.
Did someone say PATRIOT party? I second that motion! ??
They’re going after the economy in Florida to try and destroy the governor, as they fear him the most. DeSantis is the only one out there that could destroy Biden in 2024. The dems are on edge about him until the next election can be purchased.
Idiot Floridians voted for 15 an hour. It will kill this state tourist industry and Bidet and his EO’s will just add to the downhill slide we are all going to be living with. Sad times for sure.
I did not vote for it, I usually don’t vote for amendments anyways let the state legislature work and pass laws that can be changed if they are not constitutional.
A very thorough housecleaning is needed. Ninety percent or so of the congresscritters and ther staff, all of the FBI, CIA, DOJ, and CDC. Probably FDA and NIH. There is too much insubordinate seditious rot there to stop short and settle for anything less.
“President Trump did most of his pro America policies via Executive Orders.”
HE WAS FORCED TO BECAUSE OF RYAN & MCCONNELL.
I know this for a fact because of this legislation that was authored here in WNY and not brought to the floor for a vote because “2nd Amendment legislation is not on Speaker Ryan’s priority list”
The Second Amendment Guarantee Act SAGA H.R. 3576
On July 29, 2017, SCOPE joined Congressman Chris Collins at press conferences in Buffalo and Rochester, to announce that he has introduced the Second Amendment Guarantee Act (SAGA) H.R. 3576. SAGA would repeal the portion of the unSAFE Act pertaining to semiautomatic rifles and shotguns. The unSAFE Act broadens the definition of what an assault weapon is under New York law, and introduces gun confiscation to New York State.
The unSAFE Act is groundbreaking in the sense that it brings us something that most gun grabbers told us they would never do, confiscate your rifles and shotguns. I guess confiscation is their new idea of a “sensible gun safety” law. If you own one of these firearms you are required under the Act to register it with the state police. You cannot transfer the firearm to any New York resident, with the exception of an FFL dealer. This includes, your spouse and your children. You have a favorite rifle or shotgun, maybe a sentimental piece, you would like to leave to your son or daughter, Andy Cuomo says NO!

“HE WAS FORCED TO BECAUSE OF RYAN & MCCONNELL.
I know this for a fact”
Word came down from on high from the powers that be that PDJT WANTED TO SIGN LEGISLATION – NOT govern like BHO through EO’s.
He was blocked by Ryan and McConnell his first two years, after which the House fell to the demonRATS.
EXACTLY! President Trump tried to exhort the Repubs to pass pro MAGA legislation but they were making too much side money from their grift.
The reason. For PDT EO was lack of support from the Uniparty/congress . even then each one had a legal chalange..
Can ya’ll see where this is going?
<quote>Shell today set out its strategy to accelerate its transformation into a provider of net-zero emissions energy products and services, powered by growth in its customer-facing businesses. A disciplined cash allocation framework and rigorous approach to driving down carbon emissions will deliver value for shareholders, customers and wider society. Shell also confirmed its expectation that total carbon emissions for the company peaked in 2018, and <b>oil production peaked in 2019.</b> </quote]
Shell accelerates drive for net-zero emissions with customer-first strategy | Shell Global
Crossthread: Soon, the only thing they’ll be pumping at the local Shell station will be sunshine.
My doctor says I need more fiber in my diet. Fiber is indigestible cellulose. Cellulose is 44% carbon. So basically I need more carbon in my diet.
Nothing but a bet placed to take advantage of Government guaranteed subsidies and profits.
Shell doesn’t care if profits come from products or subsidies. The money is the goal. How it is gotten is irrelevant. Shell knows that they will be paid for oil products now, or in the future, or for green nonsense in between. It is a no loss bet. Of course it is their strategy. Who wouldn’t take a guaranteed bet?
Only four dollars a gallon?
This entire Biden debacle reminds me of the Hunt for Red October when the Soviet submarine was sailing up the river in Maine and Dr. Ryan told the Captain “Welcome to the New World sir.”
We have only seen the start. Its going to get worse. Pray for our children.
And you know who this hurts the most is the poor people. If people are smart, they just need to focus on driving just for essential things like going to work and grocery shopping. But this has tremendous ramifications throughout our entire sector. Everything that relies on transportation to get products to the stores will rise. There goes your grocery bills, UP, UP and AWAY.
…And what about the price of beautiful balloons?
Cheap carbs for the win….we all know how good those dollar-store cookies and ramen noodles are for our health….anything to fill a hungry belly while the money disappears into gas, heating, electricity, water delivery, trash pickup, bills, bills, bills…..meanwhile the EBTers, entitled to steak and shrimp, are scamming so they can afford bud and tattoos.
I was behind an EBTer. Her card didn;t work the first time in self checkout so she whipped out a $100 bill and paid for the food. Then she asked the checkout clerk if she could get her cash back off the EBT card, Lol. YOu can’t make this BS up. We are beyond a Social Utopia already for these Scum voting Democrats. Meanwhile I pay for my own food with almost no income, (no unemployment at all, etc.) this whole last year thanks to covid scams. This is not the kind of country I want to live in… This is a fucking nightmare.
Found in the bin…. 🙁 (The f word does it every time.)
But in this case , the f word perfectly explains his frustration.
I feel it, it is palatable.
That probably won’t happen. If they do all we are talking about here there won’t be any jobs, so no tax revenue. Maybe Bezos and musk can cook over those taxpayers subsidies to help out.
It hurts the real poor people who are not on foodstamps. It also hurts childless adults who are not getting shit for a stimulus compared to others who may receive up to 12,800 this year for a family of four. (Not counting the almost $10,000 in tax refunds they normally get if they are low income.)
Poor peopel are poor because they cant do shit …
killes dont care what poor peopel think. Biden is a killer.
I’m an aerospace engineer and programmer who is poor. I am am probably smarter than most people in this society. I am poor because I was tired of being overtaxed and cheated out of tax credits that others get. I am poor because I refuse to work 80+ hours a week Like I used to, only to end up poorer than idiots who are richer thanks to Government welfare and Corrupt taxcodes.
You are poor cause you are GREAT FELLOW AMERICAN.
they steal from us, they overcharge, they under pay…
Your skills could develop a small energy supply for a neighborhood?
Time to go off grid.
Alaska is looking mighty tempting.
And wait till you have to heat or cool your home.
I suspect the poor people take public transportation which is heavily subsidized or will be.
The middle class suffers the most; we are the ones who work and raise families on our own dime.
But, then, it is the middle class the Marxists are attempting to destroy; can’t have a totalitarian government with an intact middle class with guns.
You’ll please note that the Keystone XL pipeline is routed entirely through red states. Not for political reasons, but simply because that’s the direct route. However, it’s cancellation is a political matter.
“There is absolutely no one in Washington DC looking out for the long-term best interests of the citizens. It’s solely about power, control, and enrichment of themselves and the oligarchs who put them in power.”
Civil wars also have consequences. The value of human life will drop to near zero…
It already is.
Yep. Just ask an aborted baby.
You mean the value of DemoCommunists’ (traitors, liars, cheaters, thieves, murderers) lives…. 😉
I have believed the oil companies were in on this from the start follow the see where the donations went.
Yes the Majors are in on it. Make sure you differentiate the NOC’s, Major’s, and Independents.
By far the largest producers of oil in the world are NOC’s. Nationalized Oil Companies. Russia, Saudi, Mexico, etc. It is not even close.
Next are the Majors, BP, Shell, etc. They are the ones bending over and taking this green farce in the backside. In fact believe it or not, they are encouraging increased regulation because;
The Independents kick their butt discovering, developing, and producing. We crush them, because they are big, monolithic, and stupid. They need to get rid of us, the same way communists have to eliminate any competing government system.
In NM the majors took over NMOGA which used to be a group of Independent Oil and Gas Producers that lived, worked and spent their money in state. The majors (who don’t) put their people in power and like nice guys do, NMOGA let them. This year, the guy running NMOGA gave all their political donations to leftist green Democrats.
We are our own worst enemy.
Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Hillary are all connected to the Rockefellers. These losers want high oil and gas prices because they will make off like bandits. Same thing they did under BO, I remember spending $1000 after tax money per month ( so nearly 1200 when you include income tax on my money) on fuel during his Reign of Terror on the American Worker. You never forget that BS. That is more than most peoples car payments, and some peoples mortgages.
Oh absolutely. Look at what the Saudi King has been doing with his “central planning”
The King of Saudi saved the American Economy. Not sure what you are implying.
On more than one occasion, the Saudi’s stabilized the world economy by increasing production. Yes they did.
Already up at least $0.20/gallon for regular unleaded in LA. My usual Shell station was $3.39/gallon for regular unleaded, a few days ago.
How do you get the courage to stop a stolen election, when the people that would have the nerve to do it must be killers.
Has anyone in this room asked their sons in the military if they would awol?

Oklahoma Governor Nullifies Biden’s Executive Order — With His Own
Once States realize the power and influence they have against unwarranted Executive Orders and unwarranted illegal “Supreme Court” rulings then things will be different for the positive.
.
BUT all these State legislatures need to AWAKEN, in the name of Jesus!
We Appeal to you oh Lord of Host, the Supreme Court of heaven rules the universe.
Oklahoma Governor Stitt is a REPUBLICAN….
We need more REPUBLICANS and less democrats..
“The [energy] industry pays billions of dollars of taxes to state and local governments assisting in providing schools, services and infrastructure to citizens throughout the state.”
Yes, nullify, defy, just say hell no!! Bravo Gov Stitt!
Now contrast that with New Mexico’s Mother walrus who goes fwap, flap, fwapp, every time she waves her arms around. (name the movie reference for bonus points)
But it is OK if she breaks the state because the Lujan’s are NM Democrat Royalty. All will be forgiven.
Most people won’t mind $4 gas all that much as they won’t be allowed to go much of anywhere anyway.
In any case this is a small price to pay if it will lower the planets temperature by .00000000000000000001 degree.
18,000 years ago the sea level was 300 feet lower. Gas must have been really expensive back then.
Back to the days of James Earl Carter’s “economic malaise.”
Back to the days when you had to work three jobs to make ends meet and wait hours in line for a few gallons of over-priced gas.
Oh stop complaining and just put on another sweater..
I already keep the thermostat at 60 degrees.
Just had 160 gallons of oil delivered yesterday and it cost $638 at $3.99/gal..
The last oil delivery was on Jan. 2nd of this year.
It was 158 gallons and it cost $535 at $3.39/gal..
Heating oil has gone up 60 cents per gallon since Biden took over.
Be thankful you have heating oil by the end of Biden’s Presidency you might not be able to get enough for a cold winter if any!
And another mask!
And drive 55!
Just wait until you see what happens to natural gas prices. Gas Daily today was $4.15/MCF. On Jan 20th it was around $2.40/MCF.
I wonder if burning furniture to stay warm still meets emissions?
The Democrat blue cities have public transportation. That will be a minimum hike. Doesn’t bother the Democrats!
Now…when the cost to heat/cool where they work and live goes up dramatically…
They are spoiled. When the thermostat is adjusted to lower energy costs…will be a whole different tune they will be singing!
The bulk of Natural Gas is used for light industrial, household use and now because of the Democrats war on coal, it is used to generate electricity. Lots of electricity.
City or not, everyone is going to feel this.
Yep and for the first time in recorded history all of Canada has a temperature below Zero.
Approx -8 C here on the Southwestern Coast of B.C.
Your boy Buffets and Gates have been buying up shares in some of our big names in energy and transportation. Like Suncor and CN Rail.
Oligarchs, all of them. Too bad that PDJT did not have an MSM T.V. outlet to get this info out, and directly attack your Republicons
God bless PDJT
That’s OK. Just paying you back for Encana who came down to my area and screwed us to the wall. We are still spiraling 5 years after they soiled our nest and split. There isn’t enough room on this board for that story.
Maybe you can borrow some of Trudeau’s socks if your feet get cold.
Of course I am not blaming you for any of this and I agree with what you are saying. You are right, they are nothing more than oligarchs.
No offense taken. Same up here in Canada Oligarchs have always run the show.
PDJT has just exposed them all.
I can’t wait till the Shampeachment ends and we can see President Trump in action.
…. just DO IT …and not hesitate…….
So they are trying to stop air travel with Florida and now people won’t be able to drive either.
Phoenix (West Valley area).
Gasoline was 2.49 yesterday. Today, $2.56.
It’s up 26 cents in my area since the squatter took up residence.
Tucson area and southern AZ might be cheaper, as they have a different “blend”, due to “air quality” rules and regs.
Thought for the day: If we moved classrooms into restaurants, could the kids take off their masks to sit at a table?
The wholesale market price of RBOB (RBH21) March delivery of unleaded gas has rapidly climbed 45.03 cents or 37.83% since November 11, 2020. Coinciding at about the point at which most US real voters came to realize the Presidential Election results were faked.
It’s not just going to affect the price of gas, but heating oil, food prices, clothing, building materials and a whole lot of other commodities. The Petro-Chemical Industry makes a lot of things the idiot Democrats take for granted. Even the signs they carry around saying “Stop Global Warming” are reliant on the oil industry. It’s amazing, the stupidity of these people.
thats okay, FCK those products, we can get them from Child sex slavery and muslim targeting in china.
we dont need to fight for our right to work. we can watch others work from our graves.
The big multi-national oil companies like Exxon love this. They pump oil all over the world so are not greatly effected by Biden’s EO’s, but welcome restricting the supply , esp. in the US. Higher crude prices means higher profits. It’s just like Amazon loving Covid…crush small retail to their benefit. Exxon’s stock price is up about 50% since the election ($33 to $50).
Exxon is closing a big refinery in Australia due to governmental policies that are detrimental to the company.

Yes, I did see that. But there’s always Africa….The share price is all you need to know.
When American energy doubles or triples in price, taxes double, and regulations return hard, who becomes more attractive for job outsourcing?
China.
The Communist Democrats are on the take from The Liddle Rice Krispie President Xi.
ALL of these decisions made by Beijing Biden are for the benefit of China. All of them.
That is why the Chinese Embassy needs embarrassed with a protest.
THAT will get attention. Sure they will scream “racissss” for going after China but it’s totally worth it.
This “Higher fuel prices disproportionately hits the working class. In addition to higher cost to fill-up your tank, transportation costs increase and raw material costs increase. The downstream impact of increased oil prices are significant.”, combined with the flood of illegal workers, willing to work at very low wages, and you can see where this is going.
Biden’s intent may be to destroy the economy by replacing the people or organizations that would not agree with the New World Order.
You also have to make more money, so you end up paying more income taxes to cover the extra fuel costs. Then eventually you go bankrupt if your expenses get too high, lose the vehicles, house, etc. This is the same scam Obama ran, only far worse because these Democrats are out to eliminate us Conservatives any way possible.
May I suggest the following
These Communist Democrats are out to eliminate us Conservatives any way possible and time is growing short.
It isn’t going to be just gasoline/diesel prices. Food, shipping, air travel, plastics, fertilizer, home heating, electricity, and everything associated with them.
10 Million people are already behind on rent or mortgages.
All of these “green” policies are powered by debt, ignorance, politics, greed, graft and corruption.
That “dark winter” Biden* spoke of, is the confluence of group think, idiocy, virtue signalling and thinking that the effects of ignoring reality can be ignored.
By June, people are going to be wondering what the hell happened.
The sooner it collapses, the sooner it can be addressed. Right now, very few think it will happen, but it is unavoidable. The “Resident In Thief” and his band of idiots are going to be responsible for this and have no way to blame Trump. Should be interesting. Especially when the grid collapses.
Texas will export to the states. and supply. War .
Texas cannot supply the entire Nation.
There is a reason that ERCOT has a severable HVDC connection to the US Grid.
It is so they can be Independent, if necessary.
This is going to get ugly before it gets better.
shipping – underground railroad.. to reliables…
to be honest if i was biden. – i’d have “iran” hit the US in the states that are going to fight me..
TX and FL
They will find a way to blame President Trump. And a goodly number of the rat cockroaches will believe them.

Beijing Biden’s on a roll … restoring the Capital District’s wealth inflow from the lowly peasants (that dared to support that Trump person) so that our rulers can once again live the life style they expect as their due.
Coming soon to any upstart Red state or district … Peacekeepers (National Guard) assigned by the Capital District. Perhaps Peacekeepers from New York state sent to Florida to keep the rabble in place. All, of course, due to “Domestic Terrorism” … they’re going to play that card for all it’s worth.
Wall Street, multinational corporations and the hedge funders paid for this. They take their skim when we’re taxed by energy costs rising.
In 2016, the CEO of Goldman Sachs, Lloyd Blankfein, told his employees that if ANY of them contributed so much as a dollar to Donald Trump, he’d find out about it and fire them. They’d be walked out of the building that day. Wall Street HATED Trump, and put their money where their mouth was in that 2016 election and the 2020.
I guess they got what they wanted. My wife said our heating bill skyrocketed last month, a record setter. It’s going to get worse.
The good news is that people notice this, and so does Trump. Give it time. We’ll make a list and this wealth transfer will be on it YUGE. An America First Party will be four square against Wall Street, the wealth theft and foreign war to support it.
I remember the bad old days 10-15 years ago when oil started skyrocketing, and every Nigerian “terrorist incident” would be trumpeted in the WSJ to gin up fear in the markets so they could continue jacking prices, and the Uniparty paymasters and hedge funders could control the market and skim it. Disgusting.
“Said another industry expert, “In four years, we had made the U.S. energy independent and denied the bad guys the ability to control global oil prices. The Democrats undo it in two weeks. Just incredible.””
It is difficult to love and it is easy to hate.. This is how the whole scheme of things works. Good things are difficult to achieve while bad things are very easy to get.
On top of this, there is a push to increase in gasoline taxes under regional “Transport & Climate” initiatives.
Here in Massachusetts it is expected the “Northeastern” TCI will increase the existing gas tax an additional 5 to 17 cents per gallon, and that is on top of the 5 cent raise the legislature passed less than a year ago. This is occurring in state which voted by referendum to eliminate automatic annual increases back in 2013, and with the support of a feckless Republican governor who ran against increasing the gasoline tax.
Related side note: if you are in a position to invest time, money, and energy into growing your own food or into long term food storage, now is the time to do so. Inflation is coming and these energy problems will only exacerbate it.
If you have cash,its not drawing any interest.Invest in staples,tp,paper towels,can tuna,can chicken.do the garden thing if you can.hunker down & look out for your own.Got a prepper web site on my tablet that says the # 1 thing to stock up on is __________.
I remember that travesty. My job required me to drive between states and I had an SUV at the time due to my large family. I was angry every time I filled my gas tank. Even commuting to my regular office when not traveling, was a huge chunk out of my paycheck. I had a friend who proudly showed me her Prius. I thought, “how dumb, an electric car, that needs electricity, in order to save on gas, some people are so stupid”. LOL. I kind of wanted to ram all those little prissy Prius people off the road with my SUV… LOL. But, it’s actually not funny at all. People who make very little money in the first place watch it go into the gas tank rather than putting food on the table, or keeping the lights on. So sad.
And those with the prissy Prius’ will be walking or taking public transporation when one of their batteries dies and needs to be replaced, because we know most don’t put the $$ that they are saving on gas into savings accounts for repairs/emergencies.
I disagree. Electric vehicles are not for the working poor. Everybody I know who has an EV, is well off that has surplus disposable income. EV needs at home garage with your own charger so that automatically cuts the renters. Also the work places of such folk have employers that put up free charging stations in their employee parking lots to encourage workers to go electric – f your employer is paying for your charging, why not use it. These will be already well paid salaried employees getting this tax free benefit not your blue collar wage worker.
I bought new and owned a 2005 Prius for 13 years and put 155,000 miles on it. I sold it in late 2018 and the next owner loves it and its running strong as his primary vehicle. Fact check: The overwhelming majority of Prius hybrid batteries don’t “die”.
The vehicle does NOT wear out its hybrid battery under normal use. Toyota designed it such that it does not “deep cycle”, but only drains about 30 to 40% of the battery before the system considers it “empty” and runs the tiny 1.0 liter 4 cyl gasoline engine to recharge it. Most of the time while driving, the gas engine runs to assist in acceleration, climb uphill or hold speeds higher than about 45 mph.
The vehicle gets an average of about 48 to 50 mpg around the town and thats why I bought it. I didn’t care about “green” anything except what goes into and stays in my wallet. It requires a light foot on the gas pedal and awareness of how much load you’re putting on the motor (speed, vehicle cargo / passengers, road grade, use of A/C) but a practiced driver can squeeze 55 mpg or higher out of it on an extended drive.
Best vehicle I’ve ever owned , as far as overall reliability and total cost of ownership. I had to replace a hybrid cooling pump once and THAT was covered under warranty. Original struts were still working properly when I sold the car. I had only replaced the front brakes at 105K miles. Rear drum brakes were still at 40% and not scratched. I had replaced the exhaust system only after 4 years but thats because a road work hole-covering temporary metal plate tilted up when I drove over it and ripped off my original exhaust. Insurance covered that.
I have been pushing back against Prius-haters for years. 99% of the hate is based on pure myths. Any of the lower-priced hybrid sedans from Toyota or Honda are a very cost-effective investment, IMHO. And I have owned every American and Japanese make of vehicle over my lifetime. I am not brand loyal.
Very interesting. Seriously.
I am not brand centric either, but then I have only owned three vehicles my entire life (55), all used. My little Toyota truck was my daily drive of over 20 years. Sold it to a neighbor and he is still driving it. Now I have a Honda accord.
I am not a hater and my same point can be made of non-electric, if you don’t save for repairs, you either don’t/can’t drive or put the repair on credit card.
Actually, Lizzie, you are 100% correct about saving for repairs since, eventually, EVERY vehicle, regardless of whether it’s gas, diesel, electric, or hybrid, is going to need maintenance that’s not covered under warranty or insurance. I have been trying to teach that concept (saving for emergencies) to a 21 y.o. grandchild…with very limited success so far.
Lithium plus water makes what ? 70 chevy caprice 2nd owner 723,000 miles 15 mpg , 69 chev pickup 300,000 miles 2nd owner 14mpg, 72 SS chevelle 2nd owner modified 427 4.5 mpg fuel for this one is $9 80 a gal. if you buy bulk. Chevy gas chassis coach 9mpg and maybe less. Have 7 more vehicles none of which gets over 20 mpg. The kicker is we can enter the vehicles from the curb side and slide over to drive , maintain myself. Wish they would have kept making Oldsmobiles best used cars ever. Always buy from senior citizens they take care of them
Lithium plus water makes hydrogen and it oxidizes rapidly generating heat. Not good. But that situation is rarely encountered, and occurs far far far less frequently in vehicle applications than exploding gasoline tanks or engulfing flames after an impact accident. Lithium ion batteries used in the Prius and other hybrid vehicles have a very strong safety record. A Jeep hit mine in the rear but the batteries were undamaged. But they’re not for everyone. I had big vehicles that got low mpg, but moved away from the city so I didn’t need “urban assault vehicles” anymore. ?
Agree with all your comments…except that they are the butt ugliest cars ever made and it’s tough for red-blooded Americans who love American Muscle Cars….I’m not bashing you…I have a hybrid as a company car….it’s just boring.
No problem, I understand.
But as I got older, I stopped worrying about what others might think of my cars. I sat in them, test drove them, looked at the specs, analyzed the cost and ease of maintaining them. Purchasing a replacement vehicle for me became purely a practical and financial exercise. Physical Appearance was way down the list of priorities.
When the gas prices climb like that again, we will see another housing meltdown, just like last time.
A stolen election has consequences.
no it doesnt.
the only way youcan help your friends. is to point out the hell, terrorize them, turn the heat up with words.
it appears humans will not fight until they think all hope is lost. TALK AS IF ALL HOPE IS GONE if you want to SAVE US.
Yeah but look at the bright side. CA charges sales tax included in the price of gas. When the base gets a raise, so do state coffers. When base prices go down, CA takes a pay cut. It becomes a way to raise your taxes without taking it directly from your paycheck.
Same with raising minimum wage and climate change. Raise the base costs and the government gets a raise in sales tax revenue without taking from your paycheck. They actually do not care about what the minimum wage is but they certainly care about raising tax revenue. Everything else is smoke and mirrors.
anyone know how to convert a car to take corn gasoline? ethanol?
Probably just buy a car that runs on E85 and you are mostly there. Beware, as soon as government stops subsidizing ethanol production it will be higher than gasoline.
We can make ethanol in our toilet…
I’m going to buy a 3,000 dollar car, and just put straight ethanol in it and see what happens
The energy contained in ethanol fuel is lower. IIRC So the spark timing has to be changed .. earlier.. and the injector timing amount I believe needs to be changed…
Farmers out west burn all sorts of fuel in their vehicles.. They should be the most knowledgeable
MAGA
One of the issues with many engines the gaskets can be compromised by alcohol.. that’s why old outboards need to burn recreational gas..
If you have a diesel, there are instruction online on how to make a garage refinery. If I’m not mistaken, diesel engines were originally designed to run on food oils like corn and peanut oil.
lots of conversion kits unless your making your fuel your wasting your time.
Well should this not say “this year”
Gas Prices Expected to Top $4/gal Next Year
I’m nagged by a unsettling question. How is it possible that globally those who are intent on destroying the Judeo-Christian, capitalist western world occupy seemingly every level of govt and business at the leadership levels. Almost unanimously they have all locked hands in solidarity. There are shallow whimpers of protest but far and few between.
Are there really so few who watch businesses destroyed and lives upended that just don’t care past their own selfish ambitions. What sick and twisted minds enjoy the destruction of what is good in favor of what is evil?
What happens to a person that finally reaches the pinnacle of success in the business or political world. Do they completely lose sense of family…neighbors…and friends.
We grope about looking for some strong leadership that makes sense, but daily those we counted on even seem to have abandoned us.
I know I need to rest in God’s unfailing love and trust His plan. So hard to know He is in control when evil is winning the battles and the war.
Time to let go of this world and grab hold onto Him who keeps us my dear friends. Hold tightly to Jesus.
Whisper prayers for the men and women of integrity that frequent this site. Evil is on the loose.

You know Dan, I get the feeling God is sittin’ this one out. God probably wants to see if we have the intestinal fortitude to use the tools we were provided to fix our own self inflicted mess.
I always go back to the fact that if God allowed 6MM of his chosen people to be frog marched to the ovens, my problems will not even mark the radar.
Oh hell, I’ve done it now.
The book of Revelation is the roadmap to the end times. All WILL happen on God’s terms, not man’s. The great commission is the job that the Christian must do. Jesus is the only one who can defeat the enemy called satan, not man.
“God’s unfailing love and trust His plan.”
I think His plan is to use our natural resources for the good of everybody.
Love thy neighbor and be kind..

Yes, “elections have consequences” and IF the majority of Americans really did vote for Biden, then we must endure these consequences.
But, if the American people did not vote for Biden then a very serious crime is being committed against the nation and the American people.
And, this crime — these crimes b/c there are multiple serious felonous crimes– cannot be permitted to continue.
Retired Magistrate here: This is terrible; we heat with fuel oil. Under President Trump in early December we paid $1.90 a gallon. During the Obama years we paid as much as $4.20 a gallon and with a 500 gallon tank it cost over $2,000 to fill it up.
We are both retired and on a fixed income so this increase along with higher electric costs, gas costs and fuel oil will hit us hard. Fortunately we should be able to get by; however, I feel sorry for the people that won’t be able too. Such a shame to go back to energy dependence when we don’t have to. Here in Ohio fracking has been a boon to very poor counties in the eastern and southern parts of the State. Looks like that will all be shut down. The Biden/Obama/Soros regime is truly evil!
Hello Florida..
i know how to win…
You have weaknesses, but most you can confront. The Treasury invading your bank account and seizing money isnt one you can stop…
Unless. – is it possible a bank can stop that? is it a law that the treasury must have access to offset or seize money?
I don’t comment much but I do visit CTH at least once per day (from Australia).
A couple of years back, I stated on an economic thread here at CTH that all the hard economic work can be undone in short order and that getting the alphabet agencies in line was more important.
I gave the example of Australia where after 11 years of conservative rule with solid economic gains was quickly undone by a new left wing government.
The left understands this. That’s why they always but always gut the alphabet agencies and man them with their people. Everything else comes second.
Maybe next time, if there is one.
STOP!!!!!! Calling them Republicans and Democrats. There is no such thing. NOW HEAR THIS!!! There is ONE party. A party made up of mere mortals who operate under the belief that they are our superiors. Who believe they know what is best for us. Who maintained their control for generations by selling us the Two-Party Myth.
Have you ever wondered what would happen if We the People decided one day to take away their power by not subscribing to their nonsense? If we defiantly ignored their perceived power? If we stopped playing their game?
Well, We the People WILL NEVER FIND OUT if we continue to believe there are two parties. If we continue to condemn ourselves to the yoke of Political Tribalism. If we continue to fight a useless struggle of Democrat vs. Republican.
The time for We the People to pull our heads out is upon us. I do not know about anyone else, but I will NOT continue this charade. The enemy is NOT OUR FORM OF GOVERNMENT, it is the people that OCCUPY OUR GOVERNMENT.
I am waiting for the day when Mitch McConnell finds the Republicans in the Senate consist of 6 people, none of them nice and has no one to blame but himself.
Because it hurts the working class the most, you won’t see any real effort on the part of the neocon Vichy Republicans. And there won’t be much grumbling out of their base, because let’s be honest, they despise us working folks as much as the Democrats do.
