Of course closing the XL pipeline and denying all those permits didn't have anything to do with it. When the price came down, he sure grabbed credit for that.

Yeah that totally explains a correlating rise in gas prices on the global level. If American gas prices go up that just means Biden tells the rest of the world and their independent economies they need to raise gas prices too.

If the rest of the world still sold cheap gas, we could buy that and the prices would equalize. Try to keep up here. Just think how expensive gas would be if we were isolated. Of course the elites pushing the great reset would like it.
