Yeah, it's going to get worse now that we cut off Russia. I wouldn't be surprised to see $7 a gallon nationwide here soon
On top of that Saudi Arabia rufused to take a call from Biden who wanted them to increase production and lower cost per barrel. Double screwed we are.

Yeah but didn't you hear that the administration is releasing 60 million barrels from reserves? That should last us about 3-4 days. That's going to help us all. Come on now.

Won't that have to be replaced like the last release will have to be replaced? Won't that cause a drain on supplies an drive prices up? Also with tensions high with Russia shouldn't we be hanging on to our "strategic reserves" for possible military action an a further escalation of conflict?

Keystone XL get some good canadian oil down south....
I think it should be approved. It's funny to me the gov seems to think only oil produced in the USA is bad for the climate. I guess asking for more oil from OPEC or Iran an burning that won't affect the climate.

I know....lets lock down for 2 weeks to flatten the curve. That fixes everything

same thing here.

Trudope wont run pipelines across canada to feed the monster within our own country. Tells all of us that Canada needs to go green with everything to save the environment as well as the world....but on the backside tankers are floating in across the pond to fill our tanks constantly....he hopes no one notices.
I hope Canada has better weather for solar than Ohio does. It's sunny here about 2 hours a day in Dec, Jan and Feb when you need your heat the most.

Cost me $75 yesterday to fill up the tank. Looks like any future camping trips, including the trip I had planned to Seattle/Overland Expo PNW, have been pushed back to next year.

DEF for diesels is made from urea. Other than urine, the primary source for urea is coal. They keep closing coal mines so there is a shortage of urea for DEF to make diesel safer for the environment. One of the ways to clean up the environment is to stop burning coal. No one buys coal, so they close the coal mines, creating a shortage of urea...and on and on it goes

Filled up 5 gas cans when it was $3.18, then bought $1000 worth of lumber before the spike hit the yard. I'm not going anywhere just going to sit in the woods with my arms crossed.

Did anyone see the calls for Elon to "disable" all Teslas in Russia? Reminds me of Minority Report, when Tom Cruise gets his car hijacked and it takes him right to the police station. Yeah buy one of those things. :rolleyes:
