Do you blame President Joe Biden for high gas prices?

On day one of his being in office, Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline. He made us dependent on enemy nations for gas. Gas prices were going up before Russia invaded Ukraine. Biden is looking for a scape-goat.

The keystone pipeline would have had little to no effect on gas prices. The oil moving through it was not dedicated to gasoline or fuel but various products and other exports meaning that its impact on fuel prices is low, While it would have increased oil flow to facilities, its price change was min

On that very same day, he issued an Executive Order allowing physically stronger transgender men, to compete against women in high school, and college sports. Why does he hate women? He has never even once been recognized, for an intelligent decision. Maybe that's why so many people detest him.

Prices are based on supply and demand. While the global unrest has played a role, Biden has made the supply of domestic oil less with his policies. Gas prices were going up since he said he would not renew any additional drilling on US territory.

The pipeline needs to be reopened. He has a tool very much within his reach to be able to stop the rising prices and provide relief at the pump to Americans. He is simply choosing not to use that tool to try to help America’s economy. Despicable!

His energy mismanagement, has not only raised gas prices, but also all energy prices. It has additionally given money and power to Putin, which has enabled the invasion of Ukraine. His actions are also causing inflation, which is leading to a recession, and possibly another depression. FJB/LGB now..

Obviously, the one million plus dollars, that Hunter scammed Ukraine out of, was not not enough for Joe to act like a real man.

Biden refuses to backtrack on Green Energy agenda to the demise of the working people of this country. He knows he's not going to be reelected, so he will do the will of the ones who will pay him the most and cover for his son's activities.

the question of the day should be: why are we buying foreign oil when we have enough domestic oil?

If you have a resource that makes your country energy independent, you fill strategic reserves, as you’re utilizing the America First to supply Americans first, then you sell your excess & make money for your home country so prices/taxes stay lower. When you buy an election, you get what you pd for!

Because the attempts by the media to lay blame elsewhere are disingenuous at best. Blatant lies at worst. Quit trying to instill your own narrative into your stories and people will start believing what you say again.

Profits are soaring for the oil companies, so I believe they are taking advantage of a pandemic on the one hand and starting/promoting antagonistic propaganda of other theories on the other.

However, the higher fuel costs are, the more money Biden steals from us, in the form of taxes.

The oil companies make their profits by efficiently converting crude oil to other materials. Such as gas, diesel, chemicals used for plastics. The price of crude doesn't affect their profits. The land owner or country selling the crude oil gets the profit of high crude oil prices. Nice try though.

I did once. Someone syphoned the gas out of my truck and I was hoping I still had just enough to get 4 miles down the road to the gas station as I didn't have a gas can with me. I got within a half mile so walked the rest of the way, Luckily the owner of the station knew me and loaned me a gas can.

Upon landing in Bend from the MidWest and heading to the coast, I figured I would fill up at the "next highway exit". I started to worry, and on fumes stopped at HooDoo to ask for help (no gps). The lone worker said, "Where are you from?" and kindly filled my tank with gas in the maintenance shed!

In the early 70's the price of fuel was not the only issue. There was not enough.fuel. Stations closed at 6:00 pm. It would not surprise me to see shortages again.

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

This is just ludicrous. We have the largest oil fields in the world, yet since Biden took over, we are now again dependent on world oil prices instead of our own. We wouldn't have to touch our reserves and still have cheap gas and oil. But Forrest Gump said it best " stupid is what stupid does!"

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

There is not enough in storage to make a difference in the supply but for a few days. It is more of a political gesture than problem solving measure.

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

Using those reserves is virtue signaling. The amount they released last time didn't make a dent in the cost. Those reserves are for military use. If this admin hadn't screwed it up we would still be energy independent like we were with the previous admin. We wouldn't be having the conversation.
