US gas hits $4 as Trump tells nations to get their own oil

If you hit him in the head with it it wouldn't hurt him there isn't anything inside of it.
 
It was on its way before Trump. He is so stupid that he is killing green energy. He is curbing one of our energy sources while he is waging war in OPEC land. The man cannot think.
Solar panels are the most expensive method of generating electricity, watt for watt. The panels are subject to damage from hail, wind, rain, snow, critters, and even sunlight. They produce zero power at night.

Wind power is the 2nd most expensive method, and it blights large swaths of countryside. They are subject to damage from hail, ice, snow, high winds, and rain. They produce zero power if the wind is too light or too strong.

It is much cheaper to renewable fuels like coal, oil and natural gas. The power plant takes only a few acres, and reliably and cheaply create power 24/7.
Even non-renewable fuels like nuclear power is far cheaper.

Solar is heavily subsidized by the government to build and operate them. Government even forces grid operators to buy this expensive and unreliable power source when much cheaper sources are available.

Same with wind.

So much for the Church of Green nonsense.
 
The alt right is desperately denying reality. It is sad.

Average in Columbus..$3.22..low $2.89... Even more off if you get gas from places you have perks...
That is not reality. It makes me wonder how Top believes these blatant lies. Does Top not buy gasoline, or is she so extremely brainwashed that she does not pay attention to her spending?

Interesting seeing this website list the 10 cheapest stations in Columbus and surrounding areas it says the cheapest is $3,59 NOT $3.22
Thank you. Top claimed the low was $2.89, when the real low was $3.59.

Yup, it's the highest since the Autopen Regime's "green energy" policies (aka their 'war against hydrocarbons').
Blaming the actions of Biden are nonsensical. Oil prices spiked worldwide with Putin's invasion of Ukraine, and slowly dropped as the world adjusted to the new reality.

IOW, it's fear mongering (rather than any supply shortage) that has been driving up the price of oil and gas, just as I've been saying all along?
Closing the Strait of Hormuz has caused an actual shortage. That is reality. The full fear of what has happened has not hit, but it will in a few weeks.

How is Iran "controlling" it, exactly? With empty words?
By refusing transit to any ship that does not follow Iran's rules.

Who in their right mind would actually pay Iran an "oil toll"?
Anyone who wants to move cargo through the Strait of Hormuz.

It's called 'summer mix', Sybil. A law created by DEMOCRATS...part of the Church of Global Warming law.
Why does it only happen when the Strait of Hormuz is closed?

The Strait is open.
There is one or two ships running the blockade, and a few ships paying the Iranian toll, but for the most part it is closed. This is causing extreme shortages.

He was given national gas prices as of today and many were well below $3.00/gal,
You cannot buy gasoline below $3.00 a gallon in the USA. There are places in the world where it is subsidized by the government, but that causes shortages. Again, I have to ask does Lionfish not buy gasoline, or is he so brainwashed he ignores the price.

This morning oil futures are up 10%, to $109/bbl. Get ready for $5/gallon, coming soon to a gas pump near you.
As supply shortages work their way through the system, that is reality. I wonder what the alt right will say when that becomes a reality.

How Does that work?
To get through the Strait without being attacked, a ship must make a deal with the Iranians, and travel through their waters. Right now control over once international waters of the Strait are being conceded to Iran, at which point they will decide who gets to go threw there. The Iranians are additionally demanding "investment" to replace their oil infrastructure.

I'd hate to be paying that much in taxes for a gallon of gas.
The lower the gasoline tax, the steeper the rise in price. If you were paying $4 a gallon, and gasoline prices went up by $1, you get a 25% increase. If you were paying $2 a gallon, and gasoline prices went up by $1, you get a 50% increase.

That is just math.

Paid over $6 for diesel yesterday.
Apparently, that is because you are afraid... Sorry to make fun. I should give Ultra MAGA credit for dealing with reality.

It was kind of you to try to educate the uneducatable. No, Toxic never leaves her house so she knows nothing of the price of anything except what's on the Internet. You can be sure that she will not be looking at any sources that contradict what she wants to believe. It took all of 7 seconds to prove that she is lying about the price of gas in Columbus, Ohio.


Nor does Toxic care -- since Trump got into office again -- how much his failed policies are negatively affecting average people. Likewise, the MAGATs only give a shit about rising prices when a (D) is in the WH. None of us who've been here for very long have forgotten the screeching, tooth-gnashing, and hand-wringing during Biden's term. In fact, the economy was the #1 issue on everyone's minds, and the reason why we have been cursed with another four years of failure.

Your moronic obsession continues.

How Does that work?

It works thanks to the stupidity of Trump and now Iran is flexing a power import than any they had prior, due to how tight the Strait is and how they can mine the Strait or even send one soldier with a Shoulder based missile or use one drone to sink cargo vessels.


Iran Cashes In On Strait Of Hormuz With Tolls As Trump Declares America 'Totally Independent' Of Middle East Oil


As Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) tightens its financial grip on the world's most critical oil chokepoint with a new toll system, President Donald Trump dismissed the regime's power, declaring the United States entirely insulated from the crisis.

A De Facto ‘Toll Booth’

Following a 90% plunge in traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, as reported by CNBC, Iran has established a highly controlled shipping corridor near Larak Island. The IRGC is now charging tolls starting at $1 per barrel of oil, payable in Chinese Yuan or stablecoins.


Vessel operators must undergo rigorous vetting through IRGC-linked intermediaries. Ships are forced to provide cargo manifests and transponder data to prove they have no ties to the U.S. or Israel before receiving a passage permit.

'Alt right' is not a meaningful phrase, Wally. Buzzword fallacies (alt right, reality).
That is not reality. It makes me wonder how Top believes these blatant lies. Does Top not buy gasoline, or is she so extremely brainwashed that she does not pay attention to her spending?
Buzzword fallacies (reality, brainwashed). Lie. Denial.
Thank you. Top claimed the low was $2.89, when the real low was $3.59.
Argument from randU fallacy.
Blaming the actions of Biden are nonsensical.
No, it isn't, Wally. Biden committed four acts of treason. I blame Democrats for the devaluation of the dollar during the last three economic depressions.
Oil prices spiked worldwide with Putin's invasion of Ukraine, and slowly dropped as the world adjusted to the new reality.
Buzzword fallacy (reality). Go learn what that word means, Wally.
Closing the Strait of Hormuz has caused an actual shortage. That is reality. The full fear of what has happened has not hit, but it will in a few weeks.
Buzzword fallacy (reality). The Strait of Hormuz is open to traffic, Wally. The United States doesn't buy oil from the Mideast. It doesn't need to.
By refusing transit to any ship that does not follow Iran's rules.
Iran has no say. The Strait is open, Wally.
Anyone who wants to move cargo through the Strait of Hormuz.
Incomplete sentence.
Why does it only happen when the Strait of Hormuz is closed?
It isn't closed, Wally.
There is one or two ships running the blockade, and a few ships paying the Iranian toll, but for the most part it is closed. This is causing extreme shortages.
There is no blockade, Wally. There is normal ship traffic through the Straits.
You cannot buy gasoline below $3.00 a gallon in the USA.
Yes you can, Wally.
There are places in the world where it is subsidized by the government, but that causes shortages.
Irrelevance fallacy.
Again, I have to ask does Lionfish not buy gasoline, or is he so brainwashed he ignores the price.
No, Wally. It is YOU ignoring the price. You can't blame YOUR problems on anybody else.
As supply shortages work their way through the system, that is reality. I wonder what the alt right will say when that becomes a reality.
Buzzword fallacies (supply shortages, system, reality, alt right). Try English. It works better.
To get through the Strait without being attacked, a ship must make a deal with the Iranians, and travel through their waters.
Lie. Synthesis.
Right now control over once international waters of the Strait are being conceded to Iran, at which point they will decide who gets to go threw there. The Iranians are additionally demanding "investment" to replace their oil infrastructure.
Lie. Synthesis.
The lower the gasoline tax, the steeper the rise in price.
Reversal fallacy.
If you were paying $4 a gallon, and gasoline prices went up by $1, you get a 25% increase. If you were paying $2 a gallon, and gasoline prices went up by $1, you get a 50% increase.
Attempted proof by contrivance.
That is just math.
But it's math you do not understand. Random numbers are not data, Wally.
Apparently, that is because you are afraid...
You are describing yourself again, Wally. It must really suck to be so paranoid.
Sorry to make fun. I should give Ultra MAGA credit for dealing with reality.

It was kind of you to try to educate the uneducatable.
He can't. He's uneducated, like you. Indeed, I've had to correct basic grammar and your use of English several times.

What failed policies, Owl?
Likewise, the MAGATs only give a shit about rising prices when a (D) is in the WH.

In fact, the economy was the #1 issue on everyone's minds, and the reason why we have been cursed with another four years of failure.
MAGATs is not a word, Owl. Gasoline was higher while Biden was installed. The economy was an issue because it was in depression, Owl. The dollar was devalued by 37% during that depression.

You can't blame Democrats on Trump, Owl.
 
It can't.
thanks to the stupidity of Trump
You mean the guy that is ending the endless wars waged by Iran?
and now Iran is flexing a power import than any they had prior, due to how tight the Strait is and how they can mine the Strait or even send one soldier with a Shoulder based missile or use one drone to sink cargo vessels.
Iran has no say. The Strait is open to normal ship traffic, Kewpie.
Ah. So you are getting your load of BS from Yahoo.
Obviously, have never learned to think for yourself.

The Strait is open to normal ship traffic, Kewpie. No tolls are being collected by Iran or anyone else.

As Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) tightens its financial grip on the world's most critical oil chokepoint with a new toll system, President Donald Trump dismissed the regime's power, declaring the United States entirely insulated from the crisis.
There is no toll, Kewpie.

A De Facto ‘Toll Booth’

There is no toll, Kewpie.
Following a 90% plunge in traffic through the Strait of Hormuz,
The Strait is open. Normal ship traffic is passing through it.
as reported by CNBC,
Ah. Another source of made up BS. NBC is well known for writing fiction and calling it 'news'. They're even worse than CNN.
Iran has established a highly controlled shipping corridor near Larak Island. The IRGC is now charging tolls starting at $1 per barrel of oil, payable in Chinese Yuan or stablecoins.
There is no toll, Kewpie.

There is no toll, Kewpie. The Strait is open. Normal ship traffic is moving through it. Iran has no say.
