   Location: Montgomery TX | I did a quick check when I went to lunch a few minutes ago - regular unleaded was 2.59 and diesel was 2.71. I'm sure it fluctuates a few cents either way but this is what I noticed at one store,for the purpose of this post acutually, LOL I fuel at the same store all the time and don't really pay much attention because I have to fill up no matter how much it cost... |

        Location: Kansas | Biden shutting down the Keystone and banning fracking on federal land, not to mention going after the coal industry, is going to have serious repercussions both in home heating and at the pump. The more truckers have to pay for diesel the more costs are going to have to be handed down to the consumer. We're already seeing this at the grocery store. |

For those who feel climate change is an "existential threat", they need to understand something. Under Trump, we led the world in natural gas production, and that's because of fracking. Our use of natural gas and our natural gas exports rose sharply. We live on an ocean of natural gas, especially here in Texas. Natural gas power plants are much cheaper to build. Even environmentalists concede that natural gas is environmentally friendly. Democrats hate it because it renders wind turbines obsolete and screws up their agenda. Personally, I'm not convinced that man's activities has any significant impact on our climate. |

I once proofread for an oil and gas magazine and remember an article telling about the early days of oil production in Texas and how drillers would burn off natural gas to clear a path to the crude. The U.S. is relatively clean as far as taking care of the earth. Countries like China and India have no respect. AOC needs to go flap her jaw at them. |

  Location: Southeastern Idaho | If it really was about climate change more emphasis would be placed on the biggest polluters in the world to begin making changes. That is not happening. |

That is not happening. Russia, China and India are the major polluters. The U.S. is relatively clean compared to them. The climate change agenda is all about procuring bucks to channel to Dem programs that have little to do with the climate. Nancy Pelosi's hubby put major bucks into Tesla.......just an example.
