Elections have consequences. In Biden's America fossil fuels have no place.

definitely an agenda. gas prices don't change that dramatically and virtually daily without a plan. as for the administration, with all the clamoring from the entire country and both sides of the aisle, the admitted plan is no plan. what does that say?

The high price of gasoline, oil energy supply and production issues will never be alleviated or remedied by the same administration and bureaucracies whose stated goal is to end the use of fossil fuel in the U.S.

I think it's $hitty there needs to be sides. Energy security shouldn't be a partisan issue but it is, at least the type of energy.
Why would anyone be opposed to investigating possible price gouging by oil companies though?

$5.89 for 87, pumped $120 into my 2500HD. 93 is $6.599 at speedway in Lemont, IL. Diesel is now $5.599, I rent parking to independent truckers and they are really feeling the pain at the pumps. I have held off rent raising as long as possible, unfortunately I’m gonna have to bump up fees. These costs are killers for small businesses, thus filtering more business towards corporate America. Sounds like this is going to continue for quite some time unfortunately.

They’re potentially just a convenient scapegoat.

Oh I don't think politicians have genuine sympathy for those they represent as most of them can't relate.
My point was everyone should be good with the idea of making sure we're not being charged more for a commodity that impacts a myriad of the everyday items we purchase. Unfortunately what determines how the idea is received is based on who proposed it.
