    --The Biden administration is planning to block oil and gas drilling across millions of acres in an Alaskan reserve, which Congress specifically set aside for resource development.
    --The regulations represent one of the Biden administration's most aggressive actions pushed under its climate and conservation agenda.
    --According to the DOI, the regulations as proposed would create an outright prohibition on any new leasing across 10.6 million acres of the area, equivalent to about 40% of the entire NPR-A.

    ---
    Biden doesn't like crude oil but does like high gas prices and wants to force you into an EV.

    Your dollar, under Bribed Joe, keeps deteriorating, which is why prices keep getting higher and higher.

    'BREAKING: The median monthly U.S. housing payment hit an all-time high of $2,747 during the four weeks ending April 7, up 11% from a year earlier, per Redfin.'

    It goes up every year as the summer road trip season looms closer. How can you not know that? It also goes up every year just prior to Thanksgiving. It has nothing to do with government policy, it's just simple greed on the part of the fossil fuel industry.

    I do know this, Trump was for pump, pump, pump. Biden is for restricting drilling. You can't drill you can't pump. And I know this -- under Trump gas price was $2.12 gal and now it's $3.59 gal under Biden.

    There is no correlation between Biden limiting oil drilling in Alaska and current prices at the pumps, Period!

    Actually, Trump was for pump, pump, pump, carry forward losses, drilling into debt, and insolvencies.

    Response from today’s shareholders; No more of this nonsense.

    At least you didn't say the high prices were Trump's fault.

    The Democrats want gasoline to be high priced so that you will $50,000 on a Tesla.

    Trump wanted prices higher, now we got it, thanks Trump, he was right, this was GREAT for the oil and gas industry, course it SUCKS for consumers

    Trump lowered supply during Covid, when that demand was picking up, supply was not there - now big oil is using this tactic to keep prices high

    Alaska’s Willow project has been approved, and at its peak, it will produce 180,000 barrels per day. Cost to develop, 7 - $9 billion, first barrel of oil, 2029.

    ConocoPhillips; “The Willow Project is the largest project in size and scale to be developed on the north slope in more than 20 years”

    Headline; Biden approves controversial Willow project, Mar 14, 2023

    WTI price;

    Mar 17, 2023; $66.61
    Mar 24, 2023; $69.22
    March 31, 2023; $75.68
    April 07, 2023; $80.70
    April 14, 2023; $82.58

    Huuummmm, looks like Biden’s Willow Project approval increased the price of crude.

    This won't matter anymore soon because Biden will control how many miles we can drive. If we are only allowed to drive 5 miles a day we won't feel this increase as much.

    Biden isn’t advertising America’s record oil boom
    Biden is not “waging war” on American energy. He’s boosting it.

    Yea, Musk did well when he bought Twitter, but he’s been on the government dole for years with the $7,000 kickback he’s gotten for every Tesla for as long as I can remember.

    You sound like Hillary Clinton. Trump served 4 years and left a democracy in good shape. He'll do it again.

    You think futures and commodity traders will take action on something that won't affect markets for 4 years?

    No matter how you slice it, US oil production impacts global crude prices just like every other country that drills.

    If Kuwait introduced policy tomorrow to cut production in half, prices would sky rocket on the futures market.

    Why do you think the US oil policy doesn't have similar effects?

    US Oil Giants Pump Their Way to Bumper Profits
    Plus
    US leads global oil production for sixth straight year
    Plus
    The US recently has been averaging $20 billion in oil company subsidies
    Equals
    Oil Industries are a bunch of corporate welfare queens who are STEALING from the American people.
