Because the supply side of the equation is constrained the market is adjusting to the demand side. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far you've very neatly demonstrated that the current situatin is awesome for oil companies and there's no inventive for them to drill their way to lower prices.

The current administration wants lower gas prices for political reasons, but they don’t want domestic production, refinement or transportation for political reasons. That is why Biden is going overseas to beg for oil and emptying the Stratigraphic Reserve. The WH spokeswoman said as much when she acknowledged although we want more oil now, in five years we won’t, as we will be transitioning from fossil fuels. Why would anyone invest in drilling and refining capacity if they were guaranteed a negative ROI from the White House.

That’s quite the pivot, but at least you’ve moved on from your insane argument that oil companies want to act in a way that drives down oils prices. Anyway, you’ve guaranteed us that the red wave is coming and Democrats are about to be wiped out. Why do you think the oil company analysts are guaranteeing that you’re wrong? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
