You can dance around this all you want. The fact of the matter is this administration and the democrats want to hurt the poor and middle class in a naked attempt at strong-arming them into accepting inadequate clean energy options. Solar panels and windmills will not keep homes warm in the winter. Instead, democrats just shrug and say everyone will have to pay more this winter for energy when they shouldn't have to.

Hmmm.  Here I always thought people heated their homes with natural gas, but you seem to be telling me they do it with diluted bitumen. Am I learning something new today, or do you have no idea how the energy market works?

It doesn't sound like you understand how the industry works. Tell us about your experience.


The price in a free market is set by supply and demand. As the US supply is down greatly, the price goes up. Now we have to depend on the unfree market for our supply. The price is controlled and we cannot do anything about it now unless we fix the supply issues we control that were all shutdown by Biden.

I have a lot of experience with upstream side and none of this is their fault of stopping pumping oil as they now have higher profit margins for doing the same work.
