Former Shell Oil president: Biden's policies are responsible for skyrocketing gas prices
News

'As long as we see this hostile administration, we're going to have a problem with prices'
Chris Enloe

Former Shell Oil President John Hofmeister said last week that President Joe Biden's climate policies are responsible for soaring gas prices.

Former President Donald Trump predicted that Biden's policies would force gas prices to increase because they target domestic oil production. Biden, instead, has said he will prioritize renewable energy and calls the far-left Green New Deal "a crucial framework for meeting the climate challenges we face."
What are the details?

Considering that OPEC has raised oil production, one may expect worldwide oil prices to drop.

But Hofmeister told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo that Biden's climate policies are offsetting the effects of the global oil market because they hamper domestic energy production.

I just made a wager today for a very expensive dinner come January 1.  I bet gas prices will be over $3.50 per gallon average price in Georgia.  As we deplete stocks we have, with Biden policies, I see gas prices soaring.

What does everyone else think?  What is gas selling for per gallon where everyone is right now?  Here in Georgia where I live, it was $2.46 today.  It was $2.55 just a few days ago.

Around 2.69 in Western Connecticut yesterday.
And that was one of the lowest prices around.
Go south to Long Island Sound, and it's probably up at 3.00 already.

 $2.89 in northern Wisconsin as of yesterday.

I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

It was $1.79 here when Biden moved into the White House. In less than two months it is up a dollar a gallon.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Gee, throttling supply, injecting uncertainty into the marketplace, and government taking an adversarial stance results in higher prices? Who could foresee that?! :sarc:
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

And the irony is that gas could go to $10 per gallon, and the Democommies would still vote for these fruit loops!

Hey! They don't need gas, they ride the bus!
