Sigh. Yes you don’t want it super low to the point of being unprofitable. Right now, with wars with 2 (two) oil producing nations the risk is super high prices. That’s Russia and Iran. No politician wants super high gas prices for obvious reasons.

Seriously what do y’all think would happen to oil prices if Russian oil production is blown up? Prices will go up. Obvious. That’s why the US doesn’t want Ukraine to blow it up. If the US wanted high oil prices, they would want Ukraine to blow it up. But they are telling them to not. Cmon guys this is simple.

See my other comment.

You don’t want super low, but you don’t want super high like what will happen if Ukraine blows up Russian oil plants. Right now the risk is super high. Now add in Iran. No politician wants high gas prices.

Other way around, they want to keep oil prices low.

…confirmed what many analysts long suspected: the United States has asked Ukraine not to strike Russian oil and energy infrastructure.

The comments provide the clearest public evidence to date that Kyiv has been operating under external pressure to avoid actions that could destabilize global energy markets, even as its own grid, heating infrastructure, and fuel reserves face repeated attacks.

Shouldn’t he be focused on the G7?

Trump administration officials also used emergency powers to protect coal-powered electricity generation. … The recent flare-up relates to Secretary of Energy Chris Wright issuing an emergency order to keep open a Michigan coal power plant that had been scheduled for retirement. Michigan regulators and grid officials, however, deny the existence of an emergency or shortage of power.

The emergency order is particularly odd. Typically, the Department of Energy is responding to a request from the locality in question, but that did not happen in this case. This particular Michigan facility, the J.H. Campbell plant, had been deferring maintenance as it was expecting permanent retirement on May 31, 2025. It also had not been placing orders for coal to burn, and many of its workers had been reassigned, since everyone had expected the plant to be shut down.

Names like that are typically because of a merger, which the link confirms.

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

I know what I’m going to do, I’m going to protest no vote!

This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

Yup. And so he can purge anyone that doesn’t follow orders. This is what you voted for protest-non-voters.

Just waiting for the “Lock him up. Lock him up.” chants. They have always been at war with Eastasia.

Musk thinking all that Trumpism will go to him helps in making things make sense.

Never drank or smoked. Probably quite a rarity for that generation.

Traditional is long dead. Now it’s the burn the government down nuts, use government for Christian nationalism religiofascists, and the grift everything in sight Trump.

That’s actually a fuck ton. You don’t have to be part of that group to believe in them or do what they say (“interests align teehee” stuff) so that high of a percentage is really fucking high.
