The world never learns that lesson.

China and India have plans to build and continue to operate more coal fired power plants than the rest of the world combined. With the U.S. producing less carbon based power it'll be interesting to see what kind of energy shortages we have in North America in the near future. Will North America and Europe making the sacrifice in energy production of fossil fuels make a difference to global warming? Will wind and solar make up the difference for those committed to making this sacrifice? How this will affect our standard of living goes unsaid. Are we all willing to use and have less food, comfortable shelter, more expensive, less reliable transportation? Can we overcome all this and maintain a standard of living we have become accustomed to? 4x4 trucks, big homes, lights and electricity when we want it? All unanswered questions. Our government plans to end the purchase of all gas powered vehicles by 2034, how will that affect taxes?

If the Indians and Chinamen keep polluting the planets atmosphere they will have to be nuked.

The key question to ask is why gas was so much cheaper in 2020 and now it is so much higher since then.

What caused this doubling of gas prices comparatively?

Serious discussion here.

The gas prices were low in 2020 and the oil companies were losing their arses due to a temporary large reduction in demand in 2020. You are welcome.

Any politician who offers free gas or a substantial subsidy to the public will get in with a landslide,never mind the lame free phones.

Control and power is what's it's about. Nothing more. Control and limit freedom of movement, food production, defense and you control them all. Think the 15 min city's they have been dreaming about.

Serious discussion here.

How about shutting down the Keystone pipeline, severely limiting future drilling permits on Govt. land, over regulation.........just for starters.

Agreed. People that think policy has nothing to do with it are foolish.

Covid lockdowns in 2020 caused crude oil prices to plummet, that caused some of the low gas prices.

The cost of drilling on Federal lands just went up. That will increase gas prices and add to inflation.
