….by doubling down on going green!

Burn and loot

Fix prices and nationalize

Raising prices is actually the plan.
It was a dream in the Obama administration that has been fully implemented now.

Pretty sure I saw some mouth-breathing commie democrat suggest passing a bill outlawing gas price increases.

Yep, that ought to do it.

There would be more value if they just reduced themselves.

Basically this. Causing serious reduction in demand is their goal.

As usual, their ends justify their means ... so, enjoy your pain.

When politicians repeatedly state a desire to bankrupt entire industries in the US (Saule Omarova, Obama, et al) one would be advised to listen.

They will address this by giving even bigger credits to purchase an ev. But the credit won't be good to buy a tesla.

You heard our INCREDIBLY QUALIFIED AND CHOSEN FOR MERIT press secretary:

Hike taxes!

That way prices will increase even more from both inflation and taxes!

This will drive even more people into financial hardship!

Then we claim that if they vote for us in the midterm, we'll do a trillion dollar stimulus just like COVID to "help you with your bills!"

Now of course this will just make inflation worse but as long as Dems have complete and total control to pillage the treasury one last time before retiring to their private island to watch the world burn, it's worth it!

The higher the oil price, the more likely people switch to electric.

Shouldn't natural gas be super cheap right now though? I thought natural gas was only affordable to process if oil was above a certain price.

As for the democrats plan, they have already stated it. They will just ban the ability to increase prices.

The one Dem in my office assures us it's the fault of the refineries. Nothing Biden can do about it folks.

Did you ask him why there aren't more refineries?

I overheard him say it to someone else. I don't engage with him on politics. He's a nice guy but will always blindly accept Dem talking points.

DemocRATS have a plan: get outta our gas burning cars.









Might have to go retro....

Their plan? Blame everyone else....

&f=1&nofb=1

That's the theory, but the barrier to entry is extremely high:

The gas car you have, might even be mostly or all paid for

Or:

A new electric car that has range and recharging limitations and still comes at a large comparable price premium, plus a reliable plan and facilities to charge it regularly where it is most often kept.

They totally dismiss this in their idiotic simplistic utopian rationalizing. It's not yet a practical solution for most of the population.

Biden and his handlers doing everything he can to create oil/gas shortages.

Biden's road to record-high gas prices may soon lead to rationing
By Steven F. Hayward May 18, 2022 6:24pm

Gasoline prices at the pump have always fluctuated within a regular epicycle of global oil prices, but the Biden administration's every policy choice from its first day in office has contributed significantly to this week's news that gas prices exceed $4 a gallon in all 50 states. President Biden and the Democrats seem determined to repeat every policy mistake of the 1970s, and it might not end until Biden attempts to impose price controls and rationing.

Start with Biden's cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline on Inauguration Day. This act was more shocking than merely the loss of unionized jobs and an insult to our largest trading partner; it is the first time to my knowledge that any president has canceled a private-sector project that was already under construction.

It is one thing to block a permit; the government does that all the time. It is another thing to revoke a permit already granted absent some malfeasance, and there was none by Keystone alleged.

.....

Democrats on Capitol Hill are dusting off Jimmy Carter's playbook and calling for an "excess-profits tax" on energy companies as well as price controls on gasoline and diesel. Plans for rationing will come as night follows day. These are the same people who just a few years ago said we couldn't "drill our way out" of our domestic oil supply shortage only to see the nation do exactly that under President Donald Trump. President Biden, who was in office during the 1970s energy crisis, obviously learned nothing from the experience of the last 40 years.

Let's not forget that they just prevented the largest manufacturer of electric cars from getting additional capital for the sake of preventing free speech on social media.

It's all about grift and power. Everything the Democrats have done the past year and a half have destroyed jobs, increased costs, and hurt the economic growth needed to recover from the needless COVID shutdowns.

Intentionally creating inflation by the government for the sake of economic collapse is equivalent to an act of treason. Every Democrat and Republican who voted for and signed huge unnecessary bills of kickbacks for fake COVID relief and fake Ukraine assistance that destroys the economy are traitors.

I spent last weekend in Utopia and I didn't see a single EV. Memo not there yet it seems.
