Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

Why?
The Keystone XL pipeline will transport crude oil from Alberta, Canada to Nebraska. The oil will then flow through another pipeline to Gulf Coast refineries, where it will be refined into petroleum products like gasoline.
Gulf Coast refineries export about two-thirds of their products, according to a U.S. Energy Information Administration report in January. The rest is sold in the U.S. That is a marked shift since 2012, when refineries exported about 38 percent of their products.
The Gulf Coast exports of crude oil -- oil that has not been refined into everything from butane to gasoline -- spiked during the same time period. Companies exported about 280,000 barrels of crude oil every day last year, compared to 4,000 in 2012.
The Gulf Coast imported more than 3.3 million barrels of crude oil a day in 2016.
Most of that oil came from Latin America and the Middle East. Only 9 percent of the crude oil imported to the Gulf Coast came from Canada.
Seems to me we should keep that 280,000 barrels of crude.

I live on the east coast of Florida, my gas hasn't went up or down by that much, at my station but the price in my area is running from $2.10 to $2.38, I'm paying $2.12, the price has been above $2.00 for quite a while, been stable but they are expected to rise.

U.S. gasoline prices could hit $3 a gallon by the end of the year if the economy makes a strong recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, according to a new report.
With only a modest recovery more likely amid a rising number of cases, GasBuddy predicts that gasoline prices nationally will average $2.44 in 2021, 27 cents higher than last year. In Houston, gasoline prices are expected to average $2.40 to $2.70 a gallon, the fuel tracking website said.
You know who fucked fuel prices in America?
Teabaggers.

House Republicans announced a deal Tuesday night between the GOP-led Congress and the White House on a trillion-dollar, year-end tax and spending package to fund the government through fiscal year 2016.
Despite dissenters in both parties, passage was likely and President Barack Obama's signature seemed assured. With temporary financing of federal agencies expiring Wednesday at midnight, congressional leaders planned to approve a stop-gap bill preventing a government shutdown through next Tuesday, giving lawmakers time to finish the long-term spending legislation.
House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., announced the deal in a closed-door, late-night meeting with GOP lawmakers and said it includes their proposal to lift a four-decade-old ban on exporting U.S. crude oil.
While Ryan urged fellow Republicans to support the legislation.

At the time, I represented Arlington in the U.S. Congress. I started hearing from oil companies about a new idea, to lift an old ban on oil exports. Initially, when ConocoPhillips chief economist and Washington office head Andrew Lundquist came to see me about lifting the ban, then I heard from Scott Sheffield, the chief executive of Pioneer Natural Resources. Pioneer was a major producer in the Permian, and if the crude oil export ban was not lifted, he said, Pioneer’s future was cloudy.
Both Conoco and Pioneer pointed out that there wasn’t a market for our growing domestic shale oil production, because our U.S. refineries were set up to process the heavier foreign oils. They also had very long-term contracts that would be difficult and expensive to get out of. I became convinced repealing the ban was the right economic thing to do. It was also a very good thing to do for our national security and foreign policy.
No, it was good for his campaign donors.

Biden is truly a moron, this will all result in blowback soon enough. Just wait until the real zealots get started.
By the time I need a new battery I will have saved over $15,000 in oil changes and gas that I didn't have to use. That doesn't even include the other maintenance costs like spark plugs, radiator and transmission flushes etc that aren't required on an electric vehicle.
I can see how deluded you are when you think that somehow it costs me more to get free energy from my roof compared to having to pay at the gas pump. I am simply using energy that otherwise would radiate out into space after having entered the atmosphere from space. Return on investment is how much it saves me over the long term not how much it costs me this week.

Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
