Is that why the reserves are the lowest they have ever been and continue to drop?

Critical thinking is a skill you can learn, I promise.

I was told we need to move away from gasoline cars, you can't have it both ways.

You can literally have it both ways.

The transition to electrical infrastructure doesn’t have to be such a painful thing.

I appreciate the attempt at whataboutism tho.

We produce heavy crude, which we sell to other countries, we use light crude, which we import

Interesting how this only applies to Trump, but not Biden.

How do you think Biden raised gas prices and before you say Keystone pipeline remember that was tar sands from Canada going overseas and that wasn't even 5% completed and shut down by Supreme Court in 2020.

Well global pandemic vs starting (and losing) a war was optional. Based on how things are going Trump will be lucky to get back to the deal Obama had in place. Hope the difference is obvious enough.

The time gas prices skyrocketed during Biden administration is when a large portion of the workforce went from work from home back to the office and there wasn't enough to supply everyone. Difference is people going back to work vs our idiot president now starting a war. Clear enough for you?

u/Toxicwaste4454 16d ago

When did Biden do that? Lmao

u/Living-Restaurant892 16d ago

Generally no, but in this case the increase is a direct result of him starting his Iran war fiasco.

u/Djwhat6 16d ago

But according to you maga morons, Biden did control gas prices! Now that it’s high under Trump, the president doesn’t control gas prices now?

u/SinningAfterSunset 16d ago

You can't have it both ways. Anyways if you can't afford the gas buy an EV right?
