What are you paying for gas today?

"Keystone isn't the direct answer to today's problem." You are correct. Today's problem is that Russia has invaded Ukraine.
No Russia isn't the issue either. We only garner 7% of our imports from Russia. Depleting 7% should be no issue to make up if we ramp up our own domestic production, which we can do if allowed. Administration has to step up instead of constantly putting up roadblocks. Here is where capitalism is being stymied by government intervention.

I am really surprised that he doesn't have Hunter over in Ukraine brokering peace talks. Doesn't he have a working relationship with the Ukrainians?
 
I have not been able to locate how electric vehicles are more energy efficient? If you generate electricity with natural gas, oil, or coal how much are we really saving by going with an electric car. So if 19% of electric generation is nuclear and another 10% is solar or hydro , is that where the fossil fuel savings come from?
 
If you convert to EV, how much can you expect your electric bill to go up? Say mine is $300/month, would it go up to $400 or $500. Looking for an order of magnitude to expect. 1000 miles a month is a typical usage.

Great questions, but you’re going to get more accurate & complete answers by talking to your specific electric utility not TI members.

Figure if you have a Tesla you’ll get about 5mi/kWh. I have a rate plan to get me .19/kWh, yours might be less. That’s .04/kWh or a 13$ fill up for my 300 mi battery range. For other cars figure closer to 4 or 3 mi/kWh

I drive 90 mi/work day and I see about 120$ on my electric bill/mo for car only

Isn’t current US oil refineries at near capacity currently? So even if we do produce more they still wouldn’t even be able to refine the increased production? Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought I remembered hearing that

Near capacity, refining whose crude?
Here's a pretty simple article to explain it for you.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/dianaf...erica-needs-to-pump-more-oil/?sh=7d7e1e51460b

That article didnt really answer his question.

@WapPride - Yes, currently the US oil refining capacity is at 90%. It had gotten as low as 70% in 2020. This is because a number of refineries shut down due to significantly lower demand when the country was shut down by Trump in 2020, and the fact that refineries needed oxygen, and a huge amount of oxygen was going to keep unvaccinated people alive in COVID wards across the country.

OP asked about refining capacity, I answered it. You however only replied with your own continued infatuation with our former president and answered nothing! The point is, we can produce and refine here and this administration and obviously you are to dumb to accept that!
 
I'm not poor, so I can't even remember the last time I paid attention to what gas prices were.

No you didn't.

Let me ask you a question. If one year from now, the US is producing more crude oil than at any other time in our history, will you give Biden any credit for that? That is where we are headed.

Just about as much credit as you gave for Trump expediting the process to allow the production of a COVID vaccine, then trashing said vaccine (purely because of Trump) only to renege once Biden was in office and demand that every American take it. How am I doing?

That picture was in LA. Victorville is $8.99/gal

Just gassed up at lunch while getting my Subway sammich. $5.49/gal.

Will be sure to gas up before we head to Tahoe for a long weekend in two weeks, but I'm sure the gas prices up there are a thing of beauty. Just checked. Only about 0.50/gal more.

I gave (and still give) Trump credit, I have often referred to the vaccine as Trump's vaccine. I never trashed it. I never demanded anyone take it. So you are doing pretty shitty.

So tired of this bullshit narrative. Nobody trashed the vaccine, they said they'd be nervous to take it because Trump was trying to rush the FDA to approve it before the election. My conservative co-worker said the same damn thing. Trump should get credit for warp speed and I can promise you if he was re-elected, I would have gotten the shot without a second thought. Getting a vaccine should have nothing to do with who the President is. Stop your lying.

Biden and Harris along with countless other Democratic Politicians continually undermined the vaccine by stating that they wouldn't receive it. It was the same narrative played throughout the media. Undermining the vaccine in essence put mistrust in the mind of a lot of Americans. It was purely political. Then once elected they were touting it's efficacy and started writing mandates forcing people (Federal Workers, Healthcare Workers, etc.) to receive it. They even received the shot themselves. Nothing changed except their entrance into the Oval Office. The narrative is real. Stop lying to yourself.

This is so elementary that it's frustrating that I have to say it again, a different way
  • I heard exactly what they said and they NEVER undermined the vaccine - they expressed concern about taking it before the FDA approved it
  • The vaccine was then FDA approved AFTER the election so they accepted the FDA's opinion - you know, because science...
There was only ONE party that politicized it because they saw COVID as being responsible for Trump's loss. Like the sycophants you are, you couldn't see or accept that he sabotaged himself, but he did, and America took note of his incompetency and voted accordingly. Thus started the ridiculous endless conspiracy theories, lies and anti-vaxx bullshit - all from one side! I bet you won't admit you're part of the cult, but you are and it's shameful what your side has done. Get over it already...
 
Way to dumb it down for us @dpic73. You and the other liberals on here are so much smarter than most on here. I wonder why the FDA waited to approve the vaccines.

Desperation abounds.

Oh noes, if you understood it I did dumb it down too much 😅

You'll have to ask the FDA Commissioner that Trump appointed. Could it be they weren't ready to approve it yet? 🤔
 
No you didn't.

"No you didn't." is that your response??

You're coming out of character, you okay?
To answer your question, I certainly would and it would be a long time coming!

Since I am a fifth grader in your mind, explain exactly how uncle Joe plans to do this.

Edit: Once the republicans take over the house, uncle joe may not have a choice.

Was it ever ready to approve? Only time will tell. So funny to read y’all’s garbage
 
Nickel price has exploded this week.
PRICES DOUBLE IN HOURS

Three-month nickel on the LME more than doubled to $101,365 a tonne before the LME halted trade on its electronic systems and in the open outcry ring.

Nickel had pared gains to $80,000 a tonne when trading was halted, up 66% on the day and a staggering 177% since Monday.
We live in a papered over world. GATA speculated that every ounce of gold has be sold over 100 times. Silver 250x. Derivatives are what will bring down our economic system. Putin knows this. If he manages to exchange oil for gold the game is over. Worse if he sells oil at a discount for gold it will be scorched earth.
