Gas is up about $.30 per gallon since Biden was elected. Is this due to him killing the Keystone pipeline from Canada to Texas?
The only other reason would be his stopping any Federal land from being leased for oil exploration in his first week in office. 10K good-paying union jobs lost on the pipeline and the rest of us pay more for gas. AT least Trump knew how to create jobs and lower the price of gas.

I think it's price gouging, like your cars themselves. You can get a solar powered Tuk tuk for eight people for under two gray. But not in America!!!

Petroleum is a global market. One President or another has minimal impact on its price. The pipeline, or any pipeline, has more impact globally. Better to look at OPEC as they have the real power...at least for now. Looking back, we may say moving to green energies might be the best thing we ever did.

That Oil money is going into the American Economy.
And jobs, Maintenance and production.

In our state it's up 55 cents/gal. & yes Biden is 100% responsible because of killing the Keystone pipeline. He fired approximately 100,000 people 2 hours after he was in office. He did more damage to our country in 2 hours than Trump did in 4 years. We have to live with this piece of TRASH for 4 years.

That's a small part. A larger part is the shutdown of production of gas and oil. Shortages are bound to develop and we will become reliant on OPEC.

Funny, last week it was 11,000 jobs. I also saw that it was 70,000 jobs. Truth be told, it's several thousand temporary jobs, then 50 full time.
And gas prices aren't set by presidents (surprise!), and they've only gone up 5 cents where I live, which is normal seasonal fluctuation. Find a new tree to bark up.

You mean $0.30? Only a moron writes '$.30'. But the reality is the pipeline was not viable and Trump just didn't have the guts to shut it down

No, the pipeline has nothing to do with gas prices, especially since it's not built yet.

Not at all. We have a glut in production. The Keystone pipeline was about increasing exports and making oil companies richer.

That’s safe to say
