Does a "Clean Energy" disaster loom off our coasts?

Repeating false claims does not rebut the evidence, your claims have been demonstrated false.

Price shot up under the Biden\/Harris administration policies.

People drove fewer miles per year in 2022 than in 2018.

Demand did increase after the temporary reduction in demand due to the biological attack from China, but since the price of gasoline shot up about 90%, when the demand remained less, as measured by miles driven, the explanation is bogus.

Compare the average price of gas the first two years of Mr. Trump to Mr. Biden, and you will fine the price went way up.

 

Did any of this word salad address the fact the price of both types is about the same, within $3.00 per barrel, an insignificant fraction of the price of a barrel being about $75.00.

 

One again this advocate for the godless left tries to change the subject to me. This behavior is shameful, stop finding fault we me and address the truth, the Democrats are responsible for high gasoline prices, high inflation, high and unvetted border crossings, failing to prevent wars in Ukraine and Israel, and on and on.

 

Jon, as you can see, it can be very difficult for people without any knowledge to speak of in the oil industry, to understand oil refining economics.

I used to try to deal with this when gasoline prices would go up significantly with people who didn't understand that a significant rise in the price of oil causes a significant rise in the price of gasoline and diesel. They would try to argue that when the price of crude oil came down by some percentage that gasoline prices didn't come down by the same percentage. Of course, they were not taking into account that oil is only a portion of what makes up the price of gasoline, nor were they taking into account the cost of the actual refining process which would not have changed(including the costs of those accountants at the home office ), nor were they taking into account state and federal gasoline taxes which would also not have changed.

 

"VMT[ [Vehicle Miles Driven] in 2021, which reflects February 2020 through January 2021, was the lowest since 2002. VMT then rebounded to nearly pre-pandemic levels in 2022. Thus the excuse above is malarkey. ​

My timing is spot on. The price spiked with the miles driven remaining BELOW the miles driven when the price was $2.24 a gallon.

 

Thank you, sir.

 

The price difference is less than $3.00 per barrel, but gas still costs

However under Mr Trump the average price for a gallon of gas was about $2.60 cents, and under Mr. Biden, about $3.60 cents.

Question, what is being done to upgrade our oil refining capacity under the Biden/Harris war on fossil fuel.?

 

The miles driven did NOT increase above the level when gas cost $2.24. Full stop

 

Yep. So many people don't want to hear your opinion, they want to hear their opinion coming out of your mouth.

Also, a president is similar to an NFL quarterback. When things go wrong, even if he is not responsible for it, he takes the blame. If he fails on the final drive of the game and his team loses, 38-40, he gets blamed for not coming through at the end, even though the offense scored 38 points and the defense is the one what gave up 40 points.

Or, like a pitcher in MLB, when an error by someone else in the field allows the winning run to score - the run may not be charged to his ERA, but his win/loss record is charged with a loss.

When someone is president and something bad happens outside of his control, he cannot expect the opposition party to say, "Oh, that's okay, it's not your fault."

 

No, they have not.

 

Since you keep repeating the same stuff, Van, I'll just reply with the same stuff:

The Republicans have been in control of the House and the Senate and the presidency a lot(including 6 years with control of all three, 4 years of all three for the Democrats) during the 21st century, and things have not exactly been a bowl of cherries in the United States, nor the world, when the Republicans have been in positions of power.

The United States does not run the world, regardless of the desires of the neoconservatives.

Now it may simply be the best of an ugly contest, but the United States has the best economy in the world currently.

Donald Trump told the Republicans to kill the immigration bill, a subject that the Congress has not addressed in around 40 years. And the issue is still not addressed because of Donald Trump and weak-kneed Republicans.

Inflation is caused by the Federal Reserve increasing the money supply beyond the increase in productivity, and a lot of that increase is because of the profligate spending of the Republicans and the Democrats in Congress, that they do not have the courage to raise the revenue to pay for.
