Yawn, it's like a conversation with a child. Everything I have posted in this thread previously evidences the substantial risks, costs, bankruptcies, layoffs, stock devaluations, predatory policies, court injunctions, stroke of a pen executive orders, pipeline shutdowns, environmental penalties, green initiative demands, and the overall hatred of everyone not employed within the industry is this ----------> "Big Oil meanwhile hasn't seen a substantial increase in costs".

The US produces and consumes 20% of global oil. Oil is a global market and probably the most basic example of supply and demand. Demand dropped 30% during the pandemic, and oil prices plummeted. Demand is very high now and so is the price. Even gender curious kindergarteners can grasp this.

Refineries are at 95% capacity.

The only cure for high prices is high prices.
