Why is Gas so High?
For those Americans who are foolishly claiming that the skyrocketing price of crude oil and gas is Putin's fault, here is some news for you - it is the Biden administration's fault. We need plenty of affordable gasoline and Diesel to run our complex and exceptionally large economy. When Biden took office, gasoline was $1.69 a gallon in my town, it is now standing at $4.79 per gallon while Diesel is $5.55 per gallon. He closed oil leases, fracking, offshore drilling, and the XL pipeline which was delivering gas from Canada. He did this on day one and the price of crude and gas started to escalate immediately. Crude oil is being transported by rail (powered with Diesel or electricity created by burning coal and other fossil fuels), instead of transporting it via the much cheaper pipelines which crisscross our country from Alberta, Canada, and other places.- Monday, May 16, 2022
