Wayne, if ANYBODY with a clue thought that, oil would be plummeting in price, not skyrocketing.
"Yes Jim the answer to the current issue is renewable energy"
I agree. But that "answer" is literally decades away.
"only the right is suggesting green energy is the answer to the current crisis are Republicans and you carry their water "
gibberish.
Wayne, the right knows we need to pursue green energy, but unlike you, we accept the reality that it's decades away from being practical or feasible.
"Well, then. The Biden/Harris/Buttigieg/Psaki solution to high gas prices right now, today, is for all you urban, suburban, and rural Americans to go out and buy an EV."
Did you see or read what Buttigieg said? Just because it was stupid, doesn't mean he didn't say it. He said it. It was an unbelievably stupid, elitist, tone-deaf thing to say.
Your side is getting pummeled at every turn. Every turn.

How's that wall working? It wasn't magic, was it?
It seems that you think if there is a problem, everything should stop and we can only work on one resolution.
But as you have repeatedly said, more than one thing can be true at the same time.
We can work towards being less reliant on fossil fuels AND do what we can to reduce current pricing.
We cannot instantly drill wells, move crude to refineries and refine it.
Perhaps you would like this administration to impose price controls?
Unfortunately the shutdown of the oil industry due to lack of demand due to covid created a lag in supply, those lags always take time to resolve themselves.

If we had done more to reduce fossil fuel reliance over the past 40 years, we and the rest of the developed world would currently have far less of an issue with Russia, the Saudis and other oil enabled dictators.
