Of course, the higher gas prices will be blamed by many on Biden and not the oil refinery shutdown
Probably. But then again, unless someone tells him, it is unlikely he’ll ever find out in his current diminished mental state. And if they do tell him, it is unlikely he’ll remember. And no, I’m not a Trump supporter. Shame on us as an electorate that we were headed for a Biden – Trump rematch before those who had been hiding Biden’s limitations finally grasped that Biden was losing to Trump pretty significantly in the polls and then decided to “suddenly realize” Biden’s mental issues – which had been apparent for some time (as more and more reports surface from people that had not come forward previously). I’m no Biden supporter, but I didn’t think his debate performance was as bad as a number of his other (unscripted) public appearances he’s had over the past couple years [e.g., wandering off in a number of settings…]. I thought it was odd and more than a little disingenuous that his debate performance was seized upon by those who wanted to drop him because he was trailing in the polls. If he wasn’t trailing, would they have pressured him to step aside? Very doubtful.
Why so few refineries?
From Forbes:
“Here is the thing many do not understand about refining. It is a boom and bust business, and these refiners do not have crystal balls. It is widely reported when they make huge profits, but they also regularly endure huge losses.
U.S. energy policy has been clear about the intent to phase out fossil fuels. If you are a refiner forecasting billions in losses — and you require massive investments in order to keep your refinery operating safely and in compliance with the laws — you may very well simply make the decision to close down.”
Somebody ought to comment on the tax load Indiana adds to a gallon of gasoline when evaluating high fuel prices in our great Hoosier state.
Upcoming election ploy.
How gracious the EPA is to let us have lower gas prices! Praise be to the almighty bureaucracy! If only they didn’t put rules in place to shut down refineries to “transition” to unreliable and expensive electricity cars.
