Here's a more complicated breakdown for those with intelligence. US crude oil production fell dramatically during the various covid economic shutdowns. Prices fell because of a global oversupply. US producers cut back on production without any government interference. When the world's economies started to open back up, supplies were suddenly short of demand and prices rose.

You can now supply examples of "Biden shut down our production".

If you look carefully, the guy who made your graph has Biden’s inauguration date mislabeled by about 2 months. It belongs below the double L in “installed.”

That’s what you get when you repost politicized garbage. Your brain turns off. And it shows.

Try comparing the above graph to a graph of worldwide gasoline consumption. I bet you’ll find prices went up as travel increased.

I’m waiting to hear him explain how Biden shut down production two months before taking office. Those will be some interesting backflips.

Obama's proposal to raise fuel economy standards would have helped. Biden's off shore wind leases will help.

The conservative proposals to build more nuclear reactors would also be a step in the right direction. So far, I haven't heard many politicians pick up on them, though.

I'm with you on fuel standards the wind power. That said, rather than this two steps forward one step back approach, it sure would be nice to hear an articulated REALISTIC strategy for ending out dependence on fossil fuels, that involves actually technology that exists on earth today. As opposed to the 'drill baby drill' republicans offer, or some poorly thought out democrat 'green new deal' handout.
 
PSAKI: “Well, there are 9000 approved oil leases that the oil companies are not tapping into currently. So I would ask them that question.”

You do know that she's tellling a partial truth in order to lie. It's what all press secretaries do, one of the hardest jobs in the world. I'm not an oil industry expert nor am I a geologist ---not all leases are created equal, and she knows that. She's very good at her job, they all have to be in order to think on their feet.

But please go ahead and trust blindly in what appears to be one of the most inexperienced, incompetent teams ever assembled by a white house (except for Psaki, she's very good and carrying the water for the entire administration).

I'm sure at some point we'll get those planes out of Poland into Ukraine via amazon.com or possibly be shuttled in one aircraft at a time by kh.

That’s where we’ve been for 40 years.

Democrats want to help the environment, but can’t sort good ideas from bad. Republicans can do the calculations, but have no interest in helping the environment if it means any cost at all.

Realistically I think when clean green technology becomes about as cheap and easy as fossil fuels it will be a lot easier to win over the Republicans. Which brings me back to my point about Musk, and dems shooting themselves in the foot by trying to bring him down as a favor to big auto and the midwestern labor unions.

I mean, yes canceling Elon would be a huge feather is E Warren's cap, but how many electric vehicles do you suppose they sold over a GM last year?

Producing more Teslas, itself, is not a great environmental benefit. There is a lot of diesel behind every one of those 75-100 kWh batteries.

The question isn’t how to sell more electric vehicles. The question is how to reduce overall CO2 emissions. Replacing Toyota Corollas with Tesla SUVs isn’t going to help.
 
I know folks in here disagree but I'm going to say it anyway. I was really was upset at how Biden handled the Afghanistan pull out, but so far with regard to Ukraine it feels to me that he has shown fair competent leadership against a cagey adversary. Where in Afghanistan rash decisions turned events on the ground into a debacle, here Biden is taking a slow but purposeful direction which feels to be advancing American interests without allowing ego or the base emotions to take over. (I.e. prevented the crazy people from starting a nuclear war)

Biden demands faster drop in gas prices as oil tumbles

President Joe Biden is using his bully pulpit to call out the tendency for gasoline prices to go up like a rocket when oil spikes, but only drop like a feather when crude crashes.

After converting liters to gallons and pounds to dollars, the petrol price in England is over $8/gallon. I suppose Biden is to blame for that as well.

Ha, yeah I agree. Although I might quibble that he let things get out of his control with regard to inflation.

What's interesting to me is all that money that Biden and Congress deficit spent (which I'd argue caused the inflation) doesn't seem to have paid for itself in love or loyalty from voters. Folks use the word out of touch, but it's become impossible not to notice the party has lost the beat. Perhaps if it were just gas prices that were rising... but it's gas, the cost of meat, cars and really everything.
