I got my thermostat turned down to 62, and I’m freezing. I wear long johns top to bottom, jeans, flannel shirt and a fleece in my house because it’s cold, big time. I don’t know what I’m gonna do when they have to deliver propane to my house. I don’t know what they’re charging right now. I slept with my long johns and my sweat clothes on, and I was still cold. Somebody needs to do something. This is Paul from Effingham.
Enough eith the Biden bashing! You people need to do some reading! Tge US is currently pumping more oil than ever before…but the greedy oil companies are selling it to the highest bidders overseas. As to the pipeline….Keystone is up and running and has been for years….hence the reason that Kansas is now an EPA site due to the largest land spill in decades! Keystone XL was only a short cut on the existing pipeline. Perhaps people shoukd ask WHY the oil companies were so determined to cross Native lands even though they were not wanted. Could it be that they discovered something on that land that they wanted? Maybe strategic minerals/ore? I think it has a lot more to do with potential profits than it does transporting Canadian oil to US refineries so it can be shipped overseas! Want to lower fuel prices? Stop investing in oil companies and ask the government to put a stop to SPECULATION! Stop the practice of allowing GREEDY CORPORATIONS from buy at low prices and then hoarding until the price goes sky high! My friend lives in Portland and she says that the huge oil and gas tanks are full and have been for almost a year!

So why did all of this start the moment 'Ole Joe took office?
Why is 'Ole Joe trying to get the Saudis to produce more oil to import to us?
Why is 'Ole Joe looking to Venezuela for more oil production?
How is it that 'Ole Joe's entire energy policy has been to reduce "fossil fuel" in exchange for "Green Energy"?
Why has 'Ole Joe completely depleted our oil reserves?
And just maybe, prices are so high because of the inflated value of the dollar on the global marketplace.
May your "friend" in Portland has the answers...
