Wrong.

lol, ok, whatever. In one sentence you said the dude was well respected O&G expert and the next that's no longer true. The ONLY thing that changed is what he said you don't agree with for political reasons. Carry on.

Yeah...no. He's sold his soul to the company trump. He has to know what trump is spewing is complete horseshit for the most part...but he plays the good boy...and nods along. He's just like Rubio. Mostly good guys selling their souls to trump. It's pitiful.

My disagreements with trump on O&G are because he's incompetent and a complete ignoramus on the topic. Mostly the same as my disagreements with Biden on O&G. Neither has a ******* clue what they're talking about. That has nothing to do with politics.

If I've told you once, I've told you a dozen times. Don't get your information from politicians. Like it or not, Wright is now akin to a politician.

"Mostly the same as my disagreements with Biden on O&G"

This is total BS coming from you. You did nothing but try to blame Trump for biden's failures when it came to O&G.

Dude, you're out to lunch. I've explained it time and time again. I can't make you understand it.

How so? Has he spoken non-truths?
What is there to be "sad" about?

Do you not appreciate the energy prices coming down for the American people?

Can't score one for The Crazy?

This comment by you was nothing but a lie.

Or maybe, just maybe, he knows what he's talking about. But no, you choose to listen to some guy on social media instead. Also, you yourself said many times during the Biden administration that the president doesn't dictate energy policy, but now you're saying that Trump does since he's in office again. So you don't even believe your own statement from the Biden years. Finally, I suspect the left has told the gas giants to keep prices where they are despite the fact it had dipped somewhat before this past week. And don't get me started on the gas taxes heavily implemented in places like California and New York.

Trump is on social media more than Mr. Global . Interesting how you just complain about him being on aocial media and not the content of his posts.

Taxes do not change the prices of gas day to day but war in Iran does.

You know what else does? Halting five pipelines either being built or were producing at the time. Biden did that on day one of his presidency. (And yes, gas taxes do have an effect on gas prices, depending on the state, whether you like it or not.)

The 5 pipelines debated as Biden took office…

1. Keystone XL: Halted. On his first day in office (January 20, 2021), President Biden revoked the cross-border presidential permit for the Keystone XL pipeline, leading developer TC Energy to officially terminate the project in June 2021.
2. Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL): Not halted by Biden. The administration allowed the pipeline to continue operating while a court-ordered environmental review was carried out rather than shutting it down.
3. Enbridge Line 3: Not halted. The Biden administration defended federal permits for the replacement Line 3 project in Minnesota.
4. Enbridge Line 5: Not halted. Despite heavy pressure and lawsuits from Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Indigenous tribes to shut down or reroute Line 5, the Biden administration clarified it was not seeking to close the line and later urged a federal appeals court to reconsider a local tribal shutdown order to weigh economic and U.S.–Canada treaty impacts.
5. Mountain Valley Pipeline: Completed/Advanced. The natural gas project later received legislative and administrative backing to complete construction rather than being blocked.

Which 5 are you talking about?

Gas taxes are up to the states. That is 50 different conversations. And whether you like it or not all of those taxes were in place before Trump’s actions affected the price.

Uh huh. Sure. Whatever you say, X.

You have that backwards. It's gone up 5.22 cents in the last week.

Dang.

Throughout Biden's puppet presidency, tommie insisted time and again that the president has no influence over gas prices. And now, shockingly, the president does have an impact on gas prices; tommie enjoys gaslighting. When those responsible for managing Biden were doing it, he loved it. And keep in mind, boys and girls, that despite his repeated insistence that he is an independent rather than a democrat, in the eighteen years I have been posting here, I have never seen a single post from him criticizing the left, except when it was about a lesser-known politician doing something so egregious that it couldn't be justified. He is among the most hyperpartisan individuals I've ever seen here, along with his butt-bumping friends. I could name them, as there aren't many, and everyone knows who they are.

I'm tired of politics and have come to terms with the fact that neither party prioritizes the interests of Americans over their own. Republicans have a slight advantage and aren't organizing attacks on the security of our nation through paid actors and activists staging protests against whatever they can think of. When law enforcement officers kill black men using justifiable force, the responses are not organic. They don't organically react to anything they demonstrate against.

tommy is as full of crap as an outhouse crapper, IOWs.

Psst...this is NOT happening...not even close. Come out from under your rock and join reality. And before you go there, energy includes everything. Not just oil and gas. And on those, if they're coming down at all, it's just from the increases trump caused with his moronic war with Iran.

And yes, Wright has spoken lots of non-truths. The most recent is his ridiculous stuff on the idiotic Russian diesel deal trump has come up with.
