  1. How does me paying more for gas help further alternative energy?

  2. No driving vacation this year. Will be cheaper Taking airplane

  3. I hardly dont drive my Toyota truck that much anymore only when i need to go to the grocery store now i ride my 1800 dollar electric bike now to work

  4. Here's a thought: The oil business is a very Republican business, but it is also a National security Interest, so the oil companies don't operate with total independence. There is always an element of Government control. When a Democrat wins office, the oil companies jack the prices to help the Republicans win the next election.

  5. It's hilarious watching you lemmings say this is because of supply and demand. Blaming oil companies. Well I understand a you all are a mix of ignorance and disingenuous. There's only a supply issue because Grandpa Potato πŸ₯” shutdown Keystone, revoked drilling leases, stopped exploring. Amongst many other things. But essentially he crippled our energy sector. And there's these things called speculators and they have been reading tea leaves since you simpletons voted for your feelings. Basically, if you voted for biden this is squarely on your shoulders, it's your fault

  6. We should boycott these gas stations. Period
    price gouging and they will take advantage as much as they can.

  7. The way to control and take back…. Stop πŸ›‘ buying things you really don’t need instead of driving walk or ride a bike, eat locally farmers market ect

  8. Thanks Sleepy Joe Biden…

  9. During my last "recession" in 2008, I was paying $3.79 a gallon. Today we pay alot more. When gas goes up the cost of common goods go up(inflation). Supplements are given to the rich and the poor. What about us who work for a living?

  10. Keep voting for Democrats! They are building back better ! ( and no mean tweets)

  11. It's going to be funny when everyone parks their car and refuse to buy gas or pay rent.

  12. Those you deem conspiracy theorist tried to warn you fools. We tried to tell you the World Economic Forum is pushing for their Great Reset.
    You dopes really believe everything going on is due to β€œPutins war?”
    NO idiots, this is literally the destruction of America as they make everyone poor and forced to depend on the government. As they start building the New World Order.

  13. So you still want democratic influence??

  14. A friendly reminder that the government does not control or have anything to do with the economy ✌️

  15. Thank you for voting Democrats!!! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

  16. Man, I seriously want to go back to those old days also when gas prices are cheaper than that. We are tired of this crap!

  17. There is no escape and the collapse is inevitable. Soon many will not afford to be able to drive to work, shelves will be empty with diesel shortages and the costs of will be passed to consumers and many will not be able to afford food.

  18. $10 a gallon gas. Let's go!!!

  19. You see how they lye with numbers they say near $5.00 but it been pass that.

  20. Hope you’re happy democrats.

  21. The Democrats are like "if you can't afford gas, then buy an electric car that you really can't afford."

  22. Good Lord I’m praying for relief

  23. Thank ypu Liberals. I hate y..uu

  24. Soon, family members will be asking each other for gas money

  25. as long as the nato will help ukraine it will be high

  26. I dont want to brag about expensive trips………but I just filled up

  27. While the oil companies are making billions in profits, but America loves capitalism and the free market

  28. I….I need your help

    Yes and who's help do you need?

    Yours…..cornpop……

  29. We are getting raped at the pump for Ukraine a country that Biden’s son a crack head was getting paid for nothing . This is pathetic and the sheep that are ok with it are more pathetic.

  30. I just paid 5.69 a gallon for gas, went to the store and bought a bag of Doritos for $6. You need to make 70k a year + right now or you are screwed

  31. Protest outside Oil company CEO homes until the price goes down !

    This is not a supply issue, this is supply at higher cost exploitation.

    Billions given to Billionaire Musk to allow Billionaire Trump back on Twitter.

    American corporations are taking advantage of inflation as a cover to increase their prices and profits.

  32. We LOVE ❀️ BIDEN

  33. Gas prices up. 401Ks down.

  34. I live in Oklahoma and worked on drilling rigs all through the 1970's. One thing I learned is that everything is done to achieve maximum profits for the petroleum companies. I worked on many rigs where we hit good sands, which would produce a good quantity of oil, or gas, but the petroleum company that owned the lease would have us cap off the well for later because it wouldn't make enough profit. I still live around these wells and most are still capped off. The only time I have not seen at least 6, or 7 drilling rigs from my house, except from the bust in the oil boom in the early 80's is now. I also own royalties on wells that produce very high amounts of both oil, and gas and I always received big checks. Now that oil is the highest price per barrel it has ever been my royalty checks have dried up to nothing, even though they are still producing very well. Here is the truth about the high gas prices at the pump and the soaring price of groceries that have to be hauled by semi-truck. The petroleum companies are making the largest profits they have made in a lot of years. They own many, many hundreds of acres of royalty they know would produce good product. They have shut down all new drilling and are sitting on the preserves they have so they can raise the price at the pump to a ridiculous amount, even though it hurts the American public. This high cost of diesel fuel to transport groceries and other goods are passed on to the consumers. The majority of this inflation and all of the high gas prices are the result of petroleum companies gouging for even more profit. To all of those who blame Biden for the price of gas & diesel all I have to say is you are easily mislead and should be careful not to fall into the trump cult.

  35. People….bear with me. This is good news. We must go green or die. Prepare to do without as the only green energy is, walking. Batteries are incredibly dirty and we waste a lot of fossil fuel to charge them and we only get back a fraction of the energy we burnt to charge them. Sorry, that's just the laws of thermodynamics.
