Reply to comment by moderntechguy in Eversource CEO asks Biden to take emergency action on New England natural gas supply by OmarLittleFinger

They didn’t get rid of anything. America has produced more oil than any country in the world for 2022. The process to refine the oil has not changed, the only thing that has changed is the global supply do to russias war in Ukraine and OPEC+ turning down production. I don’t understand why you guys are parroting Fox News talking points. If America has produced more oil than ever before shouldn’t the prices be going down? No they are not because oil companies have 0 incentives to lower prices because idiots like you will just keep buyin. Hey maybe here’s a solution buy solar panels, get an electric car. Stop subjecting yourself to the whims of the fossil fuel industry because you’re so afraid of change.

Yes refining rates have dropped. Once again you blame Joe Biden and simply that’s not the case. I’m not going to bother explaining to you why something is the way it is because you just blame Biden for literally everything. Well you know why refining rates are down? Because I’m 2020 when the entire global economy shut down refiners started losing incredible amounts of money. Obviously this makes sense and hmm maybe if Trump did more to protect America then we wouldn’t have been hit so hard by Covid and refineries could’ve kept doing there thing. But since that wasn’t the case and refiners aren’t going to open up the old mothballed refineries when like I just said above they are turning record profits. And it makes no sense to pay for more refining when OIL IS NOT THE FUTURE.

> Well, then why hasn't this administration done anything to increase refining capacity?

Glad to see you're like two seconds away from getting on board with nationalizing the oil industry.
