This is winning! Winning! Drill baby Drill! The greatest time in American history! The gilded age has arrived! I couldn’t be more excited than to pay $5 a gallon of gas! Pay more to destroy the environment! That’s the America I want to live in!

Is this panic in the room with us right now?

The key problem right now (well, besides the war itself) is mentally how we are approaching this.
It’s like a worker who gets laid off. That’s awful, that’s the problem. But the next steps are important too. If that worker buckles down, saves every penny, goes into lockdown, while also focusing 100% on finding that next job, the might be ok.
But if that worker says “hey, I have $6,000 saved up” and doesn’t worry, assuming they will have a new job any second, they will burn through that $6,000, and things will look and feel normal! Then they still don’t have a job, but they say “hey, I have credit cards!” and so they rack up debt, and while they do, things look and feel normal! Until… suddenly… one day there’s no more savings, no more credit, no more slack in the system, and it all falls apart fast, despite looking totally normal up until that point.
That’s what we are doing here. We’re all acting as if this would all blow over right away, and if not right away, certainly by *tomorrow* it will be fine. So we’re using reserves, shipping what’s left of the oil around, and all acting as if this will all be a distant memory at any moment.
The problem is, just like that unemployed person running out of savings and credit, the world will fairly abruptly run out of slack in the oil system, without enough in the processing pipeline and not enough in reserves to continue to act as if things are normal.
That’s his theory here – that we are just about to hit that moment where there’s no more slack left to let us pretend everything is going to be ok.

This asshole got rid of the solar credits… we can’t produce enough electricity, and a cheap long term solution, or Atleast a major help in the problem is residential solar.
He’s been worse than I thought he actually could be, and my bar was, as Colbert says, ‘underground’.

What I’m worried about is if this “crisis” is coming too soon! If prices stabilize to a amount that Americans get used to and/or even go down by the midterms, this may not help us in the long run.

Why is there panic? This has been a knowable catastrophe-in-slow-motion coming for a long time. Not one person in power moved to stop it. Nope. They let a dementia-addled, vengeful fool wreak havoc on the world economy.

Yeah right sure
Every week for the last decade we hear how the orange buffoon will crumble yet it never happens

Everyone with a brain already knew that this was going to happen the day after he bombed Iran. Greed is a helluva drug.

When I relocated for work, I found a house with solar panels on it and that’s been nice. When my PHEV was starting to show some signs of trouble at the 170,000 mile mark, I traded up to a used EV, and that’s been nice also. Now my biggest worry is that the cost of jet fuel is going to destroy my line of work, and I’ll have to sell the house and maybe even the car. That’s not very nice.

Maybe a good time for drumpf to get his fat head out of his giant ass. Losers gotta lose 24/7

Remember, Trumpers are built differently – if you shit on them, they seem to respond positively. They see paying higher gas prices as ‘patriotic’. They will never admit they were wrong – ever. The mid-terms are faaaar from a slam dunk, even if gas goes to $10.00 / gal.

Because of stupid politicians in Europe, they quit drilling and using carbon fuel ⛽ in Europe because of the green party, now they have to depend middle east and Russia for 🛢️ oil, the US learned there lesson from gas shortages in in the 70s because of opec embargo in energy. Now we the largest producer of energy in the world. We don’t rely on energy from the middle east. The Biden administration was heading towards Europe policy. Until we got a new president on energy dominance.

Maybe it’s time we start leveraging some of this reverse engineered tech these private aerospace firms have been hiding for the past century. Or perhaps tap into the ether for quantum energy. We all know there are alternatives but our deep state is so fucking obsessed with keeping their secret for the sake of maintaining their wealth they’d rather put the world in dire straights than come clean with the various alternatives.

Can’t we just admire how loyal the Republicans are to their party though? Almost like it’s more important to them than their country.
