Weren't we just energy independent a few months ago? Wha happen?
There were months where the US produced more than it consumed, but that fluctuates nor does it mean energy independence. It's a world market. Thus, even if we assume the US is the No. 1 producer of LNG and crude, that doesn't mean higher demand and lower supply from other regions won't affect the price of LNG and crude.

I went past a gas station this weekend that had $2.86 on the sign.

Granted… Most of the other gas stations were a good $.10-$.20 more expensive than that.

That'd be nice. Been $3.19 here for a week or two.

True, but Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline and has he and his party have declared war on fossil fuels. If gas prices continue to rise, 2022 will be a blood bath for the Dems. The optics are horrible and blaming it on world markets and forces beyond our control just isn't going to fly.

No, the Keystone pipeline was not shutdown. The Keystone pipeline operates today and ferries Canadian oil from Alberta to Port Arthur, TX and Houston (via a pipeline from Port Arthur) where some of it is refined and other is put on vessels to go out to the world market. The Keystone XL was canceled, which was a bypass line from Alberta to a tank farm in Nebraska. There were no plans for XL to increase the volume of oil sent to Port Arthur and Houston -- primarily because of plant capacity. The optics are only horrible because of the lack of education and knowledge by the citizenry.

Sounds like we let our buddy, MBS, get away with murder for nothing.

You'll eventually see the KSA flip to China's orbit. They were rebuffed twice already. In the long term, SA will be given a larger share of China's market.

Boom.

That's about where we're at in Ankeny. If I was paying over $5/gallon here, the Tesla consideration would kick in in earnest.
 
To the thread owner: Get off your ass and realize you can start walking. You can't imagine the cost savings you will have in no gas but less medical bills
 
Don't worry OP's wife is going to slash prices to help HROT stretch their dollar this winter.
 
If it keeps going up we will produce more here.
Bingo, fracking (for better or worse) booms and busts inversely related to OPEC production. There seems to be an equilibrium when fracking becomes financially really advantageous….OPEC will continue to cut, US production will ramp up….then OPEC will open the floodgates and bury us again….this has been going on for quite some time now….but people don’t pay attention…
