Did anyone really think prices would stay that low forever?
Plan your trips accordingly until the next swing.

I wonder if the old Keystone Pipeline path now makes up a nice overlanding route?
isn't russian oil made from potatoes?

Not a huge issue, you can always resume extracting if need it, nobody can steal your oil from under you and the tech is well known... This is what is insuring you energy independence, not the fact that due to some price fluctuations and some particular conditions you imported some oil from some other place, and some months ago you did not.
The no1 reason the US production did not raise is because your local producers enjoy the higher prices as well, after a long period of painful low prices and the investors are finally able to see some profits..
Biden administration might make a lot of noises but is had little effect on already developed OIL extraction fields,
You quite literally have no idea what you are talking about.
if everyone would just put their time and money into supporting the government instead of worrying about having fun and doing what they want to do, things would be PERFECT. a great man once said: "Its not what your government can do for you, but what can YOU do for your government!"
wow...not sure if that was me or the vaccine talking...

My good sir.. the quote is actually "ask not what you country can do for you, but what you can do for your country"
Although the government "runs" the country they are NOT the country. I will do things and help my fellow countrymen far before I bend over backwards for our government.
I don't think you have a clue and you definitely don't seem to understand why the US pays less.

There is no conspiracy. Price of crude is set on the world market. Local price you pay at the pump is global price + refinery + local taxes. The difference between local prices ( by local I mean at local at global level, between countries ) is mostly owed to the local taxes. Some countries have a low tax, like US, some high, like in most Europe, some even subsidized like Venezuela during Hugo Chávez. How the price is set at the global level ? Well there things are more complicated, maybe unfair ( you have a cartel, OPEC + , etc.. etc.. ) but whatever that price is, everybody pays the same with very few exceptions...
You don't seem to understand the cost of multi-tiered government regulation as a function of extraction cost, probably due to the fact you have been subjected to it for so long that economic Stockholm Syndrome has set in.
You also don't seem to understand the very most basic principles of supply and demand.
Yes, the USA is importing oil from what can at the minimum be described as adversarial foreign governments (the Russian government owns and directs the oil industry) entirely due to the policies and regulation imposed on the free market by an administration that in 7 months has done absolutely nothing that is good for America. Nothing.
We as a nation just spent 4 years and more than 30 million dollars on a politically motivated witch hunt attempting to prosecute a duly elected President for "Russian collusion" (that despite the best efforts of the most nefarious group of turds to ever soil the face of the planet, came up empty handed) only to have the very same group of turds now happily doing business with the same Russians directing massive amounts of money and global influence directly to them , including removing sanctions against the Nordstream pipeline that will further increase Russias stranglehold on the European energy market.
Wow, you got the chip?wow...not sure if that was me or the vaccine talking...
You'll need MANY updates...

About $7.14 a Gallon here this morning. That's about $163 to fill up my Land Rover. How about you throw some of that dirt cheap fuel this way?
the nanobots are doing fine and are fairly inactive when im away from 5G...the only effect after the second jab was a magnetic injection site, vomiting, ringing in the ears, ED, and the overwhelming desire to sell everything i have and give the money to the government for gender studies. weird...BUT at least i don't have to wear a mask now (unless i'm in public!)
gas might be high, but i saw a bottle of Smart Water in the store for $2 for 33oz. that's roughly $8 per gallon for water...until they start marketing Smart Gas, we should be OK

I guess he got tired of it and asked "Why do you keep saying that?"
