Any particular reason they jumped so fast? Like 40 cents/gallon in 2 days here. Arabs not playing the game Biden wants? Biden is playing a game - Arabs or not? Oil companies wanting windfall profits?
Dammit, we HAVE oil, but it's not being pumped! When I was still railroading, I saw all the new wells being drilled and old wells fracked to produce again in eastern Wyo. Two new multi-million trans-shipment rail facilities were built to move all that oil. A lot of it was shipped to Texas ports where Chinese refinery ships processed it on the way back to China. But Russian oil is way cheap now, so they don't need it.
Here's hoping people recall that next November! SW
