I agree, we need more nuclear. I had dinner last night with a nuclear physicist and he told me that nuke plants can be designed with physics to shut down and prevent another 3 mile Island or Chernobyl.

It's still a problem to deal with the waste but nuclear is probably the least objectionable energy source we could go to right now.

Before Trump this was a heavy pro Obama/Clinton/left-wing website especially during the Trump admin. It has only began to lean the other way recently because people are starting to wake up!

In my area prices have stabilized or fallen a few pennies in reaction to the crude prices.

Why do some people think it is worth their time to watch a 10 or 15 minute video when the same info can be related in 2 to 3 minutes of reading words?

Yep. OP has bumped his own post many times, too.

Do you realize that fuel prices have been steadily rising since May of 2020?

To be fair I'm pretty sure the OP didn't mind when one Orange Man was being blamed for "nuanced" crises that happened on his watch. Almost nothing is the fault of(or to the credit of) one man at the macro level.

Old Joe has certainly done everything in his power to speed things off the cliff though.

Remember, Biden said on the campaign trail that he "Guaranteed he would end fossil fuels". Even when asked knowing that stopping fossil fuels would have a devastating affect on our economy, he did not even HESITATE to say YES, he would.

So I do think ONE MAN can affect oil prices.
Let's be real, people will say anything to get elected or get a job.

Heck, I'll go around saying I will end all gun violence in major cities and there would be no more temps below 40 degrees in Florida.
