You are part of the world market whether you want to be or not.I don't see this changing any time soon, they are blaming this on the Ukraine war and I think that will last a while. I still say we should use our own oil and not rely on the world market, but guess that's just crazy talk.
I think his point is if North America decided to rely exclusively on North American oil we could regulate the prices better and while I dont know if thats true I do get his point.You are part of the world market whether you want to be or not.
I know what he was saying but what's the chances of that happening? You're basically talking about making the US a hermit kingdom when it comes to oil and not allowing any domestic oil exports or foreign oil imports. US refineries refine a significant amount of Canadian crude. You can't just cut thay off without significant repercussions for industry and consumers.I think his point is if North America decided to rely exclusively on North American oil we could regulate the prices better and while I dont know if thats true I do get his point.
We're not talking about isolationism, just regulating crude oil. Which we do anyway, FYI.
I mean, looking at prescription drug prices, I'm not confident that we could depend on having cheap gas just because our oil supply was domestic.I think his point is if North America decided to rely exclusively on North American oil we could regulate the prices better and while I dont know if thats true I do get his point.

3.89 at md costco$4.09 today at Costco in NNJ.
So the station I paid 6.00/gal July 1st dropped to 4.91 a month later. The standard station that had dropped from 6.69 to 6.39 last month has dropped another .70 down to 5.69/gal.Fully expected to pay 6.50 or more on my next fill up.
So last week I paid 6.00/gal. Although this was was still .70/gal more than I have ever paid before, gas prices have been dropping the past couple weeks. That standard station has dropped to 6.39 and gas can be had for 5.85/gal now at ARCO and Costco.
I just spent 12 days in California driving around San Francisco then through Napa Valley, Sonoma Valley, and Pope Valley then got back on the 101 and headed all the way up to Redwood Valley to see the Avenue of the Giants and then back down to San Francisco. To pay $4.43/gallon for regular grade would have been a dream.....jus sayin'.
I know this might sting a little but you California people get raped when it comes to paying for things and this is coming from a guy who lives in Illinois......
Ugh, I absolutely hate that phrase. AKA - we have zero morals.That's just "delivering shareholder value".
