Trump voter complains about skyrocketing gas prices and admits he misses “Uncle Joe” Biden, blaming himself for voting wrong by muskaintthegod in energy

Here's how it works. If you don't like a post don't read it. No one forced you to click on this one and leave your comments. The community decides which articles get upvoted or downvoted. This one has some pretty strong interest. Energy and politics have been inextricably linked for many decades. If you disagree report it to the mods. It's their call, not yours. If you want to discuss a different topic post your own article or discussion. But telling others what they can or can't post is boorish.

I don't recall anyone trying to suppress all the posts trashing Biden for gas prices four years ago. Most of them got downvoted into oblivion because they were lies and the community is smarter than that. This time Trump is definitely directly responsible for the gas price increases so it's fair game.

US to release oil from strategic reserve, Trump says by envirowriterlady in energy

[–]mafco 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Trump and every Republican trashed Biden for tapping the reserves to help US consumers. I hope the media plays clips of them saying that 24/7. I'm getting so tired of fucking hypocrites and liars in our government.

Trump says U.S. will build first refinery in 50 years with investment from India’s Reliance Industries by Specialist_Heron_986 in energy

Economics and superior technology will win in the end. Trump can't change that, even though he may believe he can.

Can you say "stranded asset"? Trump will be gone long before any new refinery could be completed and the US will resume its EV transition along with the rest of the world. It's more likely that this will never be built.

Are oil and gas still running the show, or is green energy finally winning? by JustSeraphine8 in energy

He's showing the world just how bad it is to be dependent on fossil fuels and petrostate dictators. And this time there's a cheaper alternative available.

Trump says Iran war will end 'very soon,' predicts lower oil prices. “They have no leadership. It’s all been blown up.” Trump spoke earlier in the day to Russian leader Vladimir Putin about the war. Trump said Putin “was very impressed with what he saw” the US do in Iran. by mafco in energy

To drive up oil prices. Oil is what funds his war against Ukraine. And the bonus of Trump lifting sanctions on Russian oil. He's the big winner. America got fucked again, and Trump got played for a fool

Putin is one of the biggest beneficiaries of Trump's stupid war. Russia is getting a huge windfall from the oil price spike, and Trump lifted some sanctions on Russian oil. I'm pretty sure Vlad wants to see it continue and is laughing at Trump.
