BS Gas Prices

I don't live in Norway and don't care what they pay for gas, but ,I do take issue with my President placing a 7 year moratorium on domestic oil exploration while he offers our help and technology to Brazil in their efforts to extract undersea oil deposits safely; Then, assures them that we will be good "customers" down the road when their oil becomes available.I don't know about you but sending US dollars to Brazil for the same product that he will not allow us to extract doesn't sound like a great idea to me but I must just be ignorant to the need for a global redistribution of wealth.

First of all our president should not have the power to control the oil industry or any other business. The president should not be able to say we will prosecute this law and not that one. That is up to us, the legislatures, and the courts.

The democrats for years have been subsidising the oil industry and the republicans have introduced bills in congress to stop the subsidies completely. The stick it up our breezers and we reward them for doing so.

there should be more diesel use in this country and we should be using bio recycling to make fuel. I've looked everywhere and there is only one plant, in Newport, that sells bio diesel.

70-80 pct of the world runs on diesel

90pct of our logistics transport in the US runs on it.

And ethanol is silly and raises food prices world wide.

Its all a circular ripoff
