Truth squad: Next time Pubs blame Biden for high gas prices over his war on oil.

[HomerJS]

Ammo to defend the lie Biden is responsible for high gas prices. Oil is a global commodity, and our production is close to the record levels just before Covid. It is predicted US production will hit those levels again.

Unexpected
For all the belly aching they do over pipelines, drilling, etc. You would think America's energy sector was a depleted wasteland.
I myself would have assumed a longer recovery time from the shock of the Pandemic.

Well, the US just set a record for oil production in a week...

I posted this in another thread but this one is more appropriate.

You don't hear about it because it hyping it up would have a two-fold effect.

1) R's won't believe it and will keep harping about how when Trump was in charge, the U.S. was "energy independent" for like, 12 YEARS!!
2) It will piss off progressives worried about the environment.

The Biden campaign knows few people vote based on environmental issues so it's "drill, baby, drill" and "dig, baby, dig". The Biden administration's approach to "strategic minerals" is to subsidize the mining industry far beyond the normal handouts. It made a bit of sense until DOE added copper to the list of strategic minerals based on nothing but industry lobbying.

Right now oil is $78/barrel and California gas is $4.92. I did some checking and oil prices peaked $147/barrel July 2008. Price of gas in CA July 2008 was around $4.70.

Tell me again the oil companies aren't profiteering???

Don't listen to right wingers tell you otherwise. The information is out there for everyone. Don't get it from CNN or Fox News.

But...but...Biden stifled oil production!!!

Actually, the US has been #1 for a while. Can't tell that to the lemmings watching Fox News.

Normally I wouldn’t post from this jackass but Trump penned an op-ed making campaign promises to you people bragging that during his term gas was as low as 1.87. Someone using this as evidence of his successes means anyone who voted for him has to be a complete moron. Searching your short term memory you would recall what else was going on when gas was 1.87. Most people here are intelligent so I won’t insult that just point out the sheer stupidity of a Trump voter.

Trump Targeting Younger Voters With New Campaign Pitch Op-Ed
