This is a story that we will continue to cover as gas prices increase in real time.
you have been told for years that oil will eventually run out, but being americans you dont give a f–k unless it effects you . Fat greedy yanks destroy the world.
I left HawAii 3.5 years ago because it was unaffordable than. Most of the slave labor lives on the west side of the island and have to commute a long way into town. Also my electric bill was $150 a month without air con, the most expensive in the nation.
Sorry,
But You can't use the Baby to hold the Bath Water Hostage. Gotta toss it.
Everybody's gonna need a Major crisis to actually move the Needle.
Every Economy in the Western Society is completely dependent on Bad Actor States.
Russia, China, Saudi Arabia have'em by the Balls.
Cheap goods, wares, fuel, energy, etc. All the greed of 5 generations leads to this inevitable outcome.
Now, do those Western Societies dig deep within and Innovate, Create, and Solve from within their own Borders and Values???
Yeah, You know They'll cave because Lazy is easiest
This is just needlessly harming Americans for something that should have nothing to do with us
My car is around 12 gallons. So like $35 but I live in Green Bay Wisconsin so things are rather affordable
UK is 9 dollars/ gallon…relax ,people can be stretched to infinity, and of course you can always buy a Tesla…😁😁
Those sanctions are really hitting the Russian people hard…
Needlessly hurting Americans for something that will have no effect on what's actually happening on the ground in Ukraine
The majority of the country is not in favor of cutting off Russian oil imports – so your opinions are not unpopular. Indicating that the majority of people are is just not accurate and I think it may be biased by your sources of influence. That is ridiculous. The majority of people realize that gas/energy prices have gone up and they believe it's a result of this administration. For most of the population, there is ZERO willingness on the American side to endure inconvenience based on what's going on between Ukraine/Russia.
Please explain why we can’t get more production of oil. How the agreement ending in April contributed to this oil shortage, and how long will it take to get back to regular production.
This is what we get for shooting ourselves in the foot in regards to energy due to progressive climate change hysteria
I’m not an American and every time I visited in the past I always admired the cheap gas. Now y’all have DOUBLED our gas prices it’s crazy. 😬
As a Dutch guy I know its irrelevant but your gas prices now are what our gas prices are on a good day 😂😭
The federal reserve is one of the worst things to happen to this country
Chicago hit $6 for premium yesterday. Not only is this gonna hit the working class due to commutes but most of us drive older cars that are generally less efficient, anyway. Not like we’ll be able to afford anything newer, especially now. Complete shit storm.
Banning Russian oil wasn't just the last resort. It was a gift to the oil industry.
Isn't it true that other countries standardly pay more for their petroleum, and that the oil companies are highly subsidized by the US and federal and state level?
Good call cancelling keystone in favour oil from dictatorships.
The real shock will come when Russia opens its stock market again…
People dont seem to notice but this very well could collapse the world economy
It’s been high in CA since Biden took office
and oil companies gonna make a fortune
Back to working from home
