usually it's the refiners who are responsible for high prices at the pump........they use spikes in crude prices to justify cutting production, basic supply and demand shit
works every time

Did you say that when Obama took credit for a retail price dip during his Reign of Error?

It goes up every spring and summer. Think it could have anything to do with supply and demand?

If you think you did, you need to link a post.
The refineries determine supply and demand? Then why don't they always keep the demand high so they keep prices up?
If you are too busy to do your homework you should not be posting about stuff you do not have time to learn about.
Thanks. Old lithium batteries are typically thrown into a landfill. They are not actually highly toxic. They simply revert to lithium salts again, similar to the ore we dug up in the first place. It's not worth recycling them. It's cheaper to smelt new lithium and make new batteries. Those landfills later become parks and golf courses.
Nuclear fuel is quite toxic when it leaves the reactor. That's why they store it in what looks like a swimming pool (water is an effective shield). Fortunately, there is a way out of this, too. Spent nuclear fuel can be put into a different kind of reactor. These fuel pellets are toxic because they are putting out energy. We can use that energy in a breeder reactor. It doesn't run as hot as the 'good stuff', and you need more fuel to do the job, but it's 'waste' fuel anyway, so who cares?
Spent fuel from these reactors is no longer toxic. It can be disposed of safely in any landfill. It is depleted uranium at that point. It's better to recycle it though. There is a market for depleted uranium. Everything from armor piercing ammunition to counterweights in Boeing aircraft (it's usually mounted in the tailcone).
Nothing, except the devalued dollar and the high taxes that causes it. Such taxes are theft of wealth and go to unproductive uses.
No, they just can't set the prices at their whim. Price discovery is part of every market. There is always someone willing to undercut companies that ask too high a price.
Kind of. Gas prices rise during this time because of government interference. Every little peon county has different rules for gas mixes during summer. During winter, there are far less of them, and the 'winter mix' is easier to make. The shortage of gasoline occurs every spring as refineries change to 'summer' mixes. There are some 200 of them now, four times as many as there are states.

Wasn't it Jimminy Carter that regulated breeder reactors out of existence?
As far as I know no one did. What regulation are you thinking of?
These high ass gas prices won't be MAGA?!!
New York (CNN Business)US gasoline prices are becoming a real pain for motorists, particularly in the west.
A survey of more than 5,000 gas stations conducted by AAA shows that the average price for a gallon of regular gas is now $2.75, up 11% in the last month. And the average price is already above $3 a gallon in six western states: California, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon, Nevada and Alaska.
Four-dollar gas is the average in a couple of California counties. Many others are within a few cents of that mark, including San Francisco, where the average price is $3.98. The statewide average in California is up 20 cents a gallon, or 5%, to $3.83 in just the last week.
The Midwest has also been hit by price spikes. The average price in Chicago has jumped 46 cents a gallon, or 16%, to $3.27 in the last month.

what is wrong with 5.00 gas price?
Will you understand if the Cong-sympathizing cartoon copier ignores your question?
