    Depends on what part of Trump's Presidency man.

    Cherry pick data sets are you are right.

    Peak production under Trump you're very wrong.

    I didn't say it was at the tail end of Trumps Admin.

    COVID kill demand WORLDWIDE thus price fell and production dropped. That had nothing to do with any Presidential policy.

    The idea that people are suggesting Biden has done something to help increase production is absurd, the production increased because price and demand went up due to the reopening of the world.

    The statement that US is production is higher now than ever is also wrong.

    That's why I posted the graph for all to see.

    Looks like the left and right love their talking points and pick and choose their facts as they see fit. (Not directed at you)

    I know you didn't make that claim, but the poster I was responding to did make that claim.

    I haven't claimed that US production is higher now than ever.

    The Real Reason Big Oil Won't Save Us From High Gas Prices

    “But to understand why the industry really isn’t ramping up production, it helps to hear what its leaders are telling each other off camera. In Houston this week, where oil and gas executives are gathered for the industry’s most influential annual conference, CERAWeek by S&P Global, industry insiders are having a very different conversation than the one broadcast on cable TV. The primary thing holding back more production isn’t government policies, they say. It’s money.

    But investors aren’t convinced that drilling is the best best this time around. The most obvious reason for staying the course is that high prices are good for investors. Oil companies are extremely profitable right now and Wall Street firms generally prefer that the companies return those profits to investors—either through dividends or stock buybacks—rather than spend it on new projects that may not be profitable down the road. As oil prices rise, the profits that can be returned to investors will only grow. If they fall, the companies have sufficient padding to avoid steep losses.”

    Several posters here credit him with the job growth due to vaccines and natural immunity. They must have baby brains to combine with their crude partisan politics.

    A system combining wind and solar can be reliable and will have more consistent power than a system that is solar- or wind-only. By having both you solve a lot of intermittency problems. Other sources such as geothermal can be used as emergency backups.

    Why should I when the question is why do people blame gas prices on Presidents? I answered the question posed by the OP and the title of this thread in post #54 and you want to give me an F for answering the question with your response in #83 asking for evidence about my response which I provided. Now you want to change the topic and call my response a red herring. I cannot help but believe you deserve a Z for snoozing or an I for ignoring the topic. Possibly both.

    You keep skipping the point. Adding geothermal to the wind and solar solution adds to the expense of the source of energy which was the point of the original post.

    Every time I go to the pump, I get enough “supply” of gas to fill my tank..

    Regardless of wars, or what oil producers do to artificially inflate the price..
