After the good manners and courtesy shown in your reply, I had to make a
reply of my own. It's true that on day 1 of the Biden administration
Biden stopped work on the Keystone pipeline and stopped most drilling on
government land, and imposed stricter regulations on the rest. If he
hadn't done this, gas would be cheaper. Besides, there is more harm
done to the environment when oil comes from the middle east. Ships have
to burn more oil to bring it here. Also pipelines are a more efficient
way to move oil. So Biden did have a role to play in the current price
of gas.
Have a nice day.

Looks like you're living in an echo chamber of mostly one bias which
is just opposite of Greg's.

blog of some sort for the NACS magazine. It seems mostly balanced
on bias from what I can tell.
The reason "Donald Trump was a relative success story, with
prices climbing a mere 6 cents during his time in office ($2.33
on Jan. 23, 2017; $2.39 on Jan. 25, 2021)." is because he opened
domestic oil production to offset when foreign sources reduce the
oil supply for our refineries. Biden shut it down again.
It doesn't take a huge stretch of logic to understand that shutting
down domestic crude oil in place and pipelines in development
adversely affected the price of fuelin America.
When Biden shut down domestic oil and pipelines to get oil from
closer sources we lost all the control he had over the topic since we
rely on foreign sources which might not really be so friendly to
America otherwise.I agree that it's not all Biden's fault... our
house and senate made a mess of this country playing politics and I
don't have a ton of faith in their leadership. Only 2 years until it
gets really ugly again.
