Reply to comment by Thac0 in Does anyone else find RI gas bills to be wildly expensive? I'm a single person heating 1000 Sq ft to 62 degrees max at all times. In a well insulated house. by ironicmatchingpants

8% of us gas/oil was Russian imported Thank Biden for emptying the oil reserves. 3% being crude oil. In 2021, imports from Russia accounted for 8% of all U.S. petroleum imports, which includes the 3% share of crude oil imports and the 20% share of petroleum product imports

Trying to point to the percent that we import is misleading. Gas and oil are commodities that are traded on markets globally. The fact that Russian supply is pretty much off the market for the west has raised prices globally regardless of the percent we import. Domestically produced supply is also effected by price increases. We also export our supply and sell at the increased global prices

Its always super interesting to check posts that are pro russia and pro gop or anti biden. They almost all are created after Nov 2020, usually right after.

Also it’s weird that these supposed conservatives who are constantly screaming the market should solve everything are the first to blame Biden for not having a regulated and planned economy when the market doesn’t work in their favor. Either they are deeply dishonest or complete idiots that don’t have a clue about the very basics of economics
