If you've noticed your gas prices rising recently, know that they may continue to increase.
AAA says that gas prices are up in New York state and, overall, nationally because of the price of crude oil, which is above $50, and that leads to rapid increases.
Here in Binghamton, they break down the increase in just one week.
"The price in Binghamton right now is $2.48 on a gallon on average by gasoline. That's 9 cents up from a week ago, so it's a little more than a penny a day. It's a rapid increase -- typically when prices rise we don't see them rise that quickly, but then again, we're in uncertain times," explained Eric Stigberg, Managing Director of Marketing, Public and Governmental Affairs at AAA Northway.
Stigberg also comments that we'll have to wait and see what happens in the new administration, as there is talk for a Biden administration to cancel the Keystone Pipeline which would impact the oil industry.

Yeh it makes perfect sense to put that oil back on trains! After all they never crash and burn, do they? It's a return to climate lunacy of the Obama era and proof positive that Michael Moore was right about billionaires like Tom Steyer who made his fortune from fossils fuels and now wanted them eliminated.

Why? Now the company shipping tar sand extracted oil from Canada to Houston will do it via railroad instead of pipeline and the chances of a spill or other accident go up exponentially, not to mention that diesel locomotives are more polluting than a pipeline. How is that the "right decision?"
Seems to me to be the decision of an ill-informed idiot doing what the environmentalist, radical, know-nothings, of the Left demand based on puerile bullshit to me...

I figure gas will go to about $3.00 to 3.25 a gallon by late this year based on nothing more than stupid Democrat greentard policy mistakes. That will mean bigger checks from Conoco for me, but that's not good for the vast majority of people in the US...
That's right I have an account on this site:

AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.
In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

Different issue. I will make myself clear, while I agree that shipping the oil via the rails has it's own issues and yes a pipeline is usually a safer and more efficient method, the Problem is, this oil is to intended for the US market, it is for export and the oil is from Canada for a Canadian company, yet we forced Americans to allow the pipeline to be run through their property. The reason for the pipeline is because Canada does not have the coastal facility to deal with the oil and get it shipped out on tankers, we do. I am not against a pipeline in itself how it was done and where it was being installed was the problem. Most of the pipeline already exists for for cost saving for the Canadians they took the easiest route. Forcing Americans to give up land for any private business should be illegal, and especially when done for a foreign Nation and company.
Personally I believe a pipeline will be completed but it needs to be done in a better way and I believe there will be changes made and then approved.
Because greentard stuff like this ends up costing the whole of American society more while doing nothing useful. Obama pretty much proved that conclusively in his eight years in office. California is proving it with their greentard push too. Going "Green" as the Left wants it done is a recipe for economic disaster that doesn't accomplish the goal of bettering the environment. Germany is another glaring proof of that.

And now for a musical interlude:
The fuckers won't do that, they'd have to pay them huge compensation. It's just more virtue signalling and pandering to their ignorant base. They also have no regards for the sixty thousand workers who will be laid off, if any of them voted for Biden then more fools them.

Oh and his bullshit about the oil being for export is yet another canard. First day and the ignorant twat is lying already.
